Orchard develops a standard financial model for SVn to calculate new fund initiatives

This month, the Stimuleringsfonds Volkshuisvesting Nederlandse gemeenten (SVn) launched the VvEs Future-proof maintenance fund. This new fund helps large VvEs (Apartment owners’ associations) to finance (overdue) maintenance and sustainability measures. With a fund volume of 75 million euros, made available by Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten (BNG) and Invest-NL, SVn manages to appeal to a target group that otherwise has little or no financing options.

A new standard financial model

Throughout the project, Orchard assisted SVn by validating the fund’s underlying financial forecasting model for the purpose of the financiers’ decision-making. We also developed a new standard model based on the assumptions of the VvE model for SVn according to the FAST modelling standard. This allows SVn to calculate future (fund) initiatives and analyze scenarios more quickly. 

Looking back on a long-standing collaboration

On behalf of Orchard Finance, Dennis van Uden and Nicolai Knop thank Jeannette Hage and Bart Sterenborg of SVn for their trust. The relationship between SVn and Orchard has existed for more than 10 years. During that time, we have gotten to know SVn better and better and have been allowed to support SVn on a wide range of issues around financing, treasury, modelling and risk management.
