WHAT'S NewS Issue 4 April 1996
(what's in a word)
We're back with financial
markets this month for the
weird and wonderful in
terminology and jargonese.
Bullet A loan with one single
repayment at maturity date.
Interest is paid periodically.
Cap An option agreement
which places an upper limit on
the price or amount of interest
to be paid by one party. Caps
are based on a reference rate
that is refixed every few months.
Diederik Conijtt may now be on the Utrecht payroll, but bis
colleagues at the bank in Brussels will still be seeing a lot of bim.
For the past 14 months he has been handling corporate finance in the
Belgian capital, but now takes on a very new task for the bank.
Flis new activity is known as 'European Union Advisory' and his
task is to utilize financial subsidy opportunities available through the
EU for both clients and the bank itself.
'There are numerous EU financial support programs,he says.
'Many focus on the member states themselves, but there are also
major opportunities outside the EU. Harnassing those programs to
assist clients will be my job.
Conijn will be explaining this new role to What's NewS in more
depth in the June issue.
