What is U-yield?

Each month, the Centre for Insurance Statistics calculates and publishes the U yields. These return measures are derived from the average effective return achieved on all guilder and euro bonds issued by the State of the Netherlands, which are continuously quoted in the Official Price List. The average remaining term for the U-yield is between two and ten years.

Answers to all your questions about U-Rating

What requirements does it have to meet?

Definition adjusted as at 1 June 2001; circular SL-L 2001/13

1. The U-yield is therefore determined monthly on the basis of the effective yield of all guilder and euro bonds issued by the State of the Netherlands that meet each of the following requirements.

the loan has been admitted to the final listing in the Official Price List (Officiële Prijscourant) of Euronext Amsterdam
the loan cannot be repaid early
the average remaining duration of the loan is between 2 and 15 years
The amount of the (residual) loan must be at least Fl. 500 million up to 1 January 2001.
the amount of the (residual) loan must be at least EUR 225 million from 1 January 2001

The loans are tested against the size requirement as described under D and E respectively at the end of each calendar year.

2. The U-yield is the average of six partial U-yields. A partial U yield is determined twice a month, on the 15th and at the end of the month. The determination of the Partial-U yield is based on the last known effective yields of each loan as published in the Official Price List on the above dates.

A part-U yield is equal to the sum of A 10 % of the arithmetic mean of the medians of the effective yields of all loans with an average remaining maturity of 2-3 years, 3-4 years and 4-5 years.

B 65 % of the arithmetic mean of the medians of the effective yields of all loans with an average remaining maturity of 5-6 years, 6-7 years, 7-8 years, 8-9 years and 9-10 years, C 25 % of the median of the effective yields of all loans with an average remaining maturity of 10-15 years.

3. Once the partial U yield as at the 15th of a month has been determined, the U yield for the following calendar month will also be determined as the average of the last six known partial U yields.

Customer experiences

I have worked with Habermehl since I started working abroad in 2009. At all times I have found reassurance and confidence for my international tax matters to be well taken care of.

Previously I was a client of a large accounting firm that did not do a good job. Habermehl helped me well, personally and quickly. They took care of the administration and tax returns for my private limited companies. And the settlement of an estate. Their tax advice is very valuable.

Habermehl has been my tax consultant for 10 years. I value good service, quick responses to questions or requests and that's great. Discussions are based on content and we always come to a conclusion.

Habermehl takes things in hand and is an expert in several areas. This gives me, as a business owner, a great deal of confidence in the matters I need to decide.'
