Products and markets:
We offer brokerage services in the money, currency, capital, derivatives and energy markets. Based on clear and transparent agreements about our operations in these markets, we ensure that your existing investment strategy procures enhanced yields. Thanks to the major sums we manage we can negotiate low transaction costs.
 
Derivatives
OHV launched Interest Rate Swap (IRS, 1985), OTC Options, Future Rate Agreement (FRA, 1984), AONIA (1994) and AIBOR (forerunner of EURIBOR, 1985) in the Netherlands. OHV also operates on the real estate market with property derivatives. We can do business on your behalf with every financial centre of importance in the world by means of direct telephone lines. The derivatives department is also responsible for the secondary derivatives market and for the marketability of these instruments. It processes Swaptions, credit derivatives as well as caps and floors in the new financial structures. Financial structures have become more complex under the influence of IT developments. This has spurred OHV to seek innovation in both areas: for us software development and the development of new financial products go hand in hand.
 
Money market
In 1986 OHV launched commercial paper (CP) and certificates of deposit (CD) in the Netherlands. OHV's clients come from across the world. Internationally, we emphasise the banking industry. Closer to home, our customers are to be found amongst major corporate entities, central and local authorities, insurance companies and pension funds, housing associations, health-care institutions and banks. Cash loans, deposits and call-money are our traditional products. Newer products include repos, CDs, CPs and short-term paper issued by various European authorities. Every currency is represented, including those of the emerging markets.
 
Currency market
Our operations in the currency market are subdivided into two categories:
  1. Cash trading: the accent is on the euro and the dollar. In order to respond more speedily and more effectively our spot-desk has been moved to Milan, where we work together with IFP (Italy). The benefit to you is optimum service that allows you to react even more directly to developments in the currency market.
     
  2. Forward trading: with forward terms varying between one day and five years OHV acts as broker between many national and international clients via a European network in the forward currency market.


Capital markets

OHV acts as a broker in most of the products based on fixed yield securities, such as unquoted private loans, medium-term notes, bonds, convertibles, as well as derivative products.

Energy
OHV has developed innovative, customised derivative products for the electricity market such as:

  • Dutch Household Profiles (DH0);
  • Belgian Household Profiles (BH0, BH1 en BH2);
  • Dutch Business Profiles (DB0).

As the only broker operating in the Netherlands OHV has done much to develop tailor-made profiles for various businesses needing to purchase, sell or deliver high volumes of electricity where these volumes (expressed in MW and GW) vary sharply by the hour or even every fifteen minutes. You can conclude contracts with us with durations ranging from a single day to several years ahead.
