Arcadis

Arcadis celebrates new assignment

It is a three-year contract on national conservation advice, as it is called. Arcadis does this together with the specialists from A-Quin and Dover Traffic Measures.

Rijkswaterstaat has many movable bridges, locks, tunnels and other complex objects. The extent to which the objects function properly determines the 'performance' that roads and waterways deliver. The Netherlands has a very good performing infrastructure. At the same time, the objects age faster due to more intensive use. To ensure that the performance of these properties remains at the highest level, Arcadis uses the latest digital techniques to predict risks as well as possible and to make the management and maintenance regime as efficient as possible.

With the official launch of the Turbo Life on Euronext Amsterdam, Société Générale is taking  a new step on the market for turbos. Ernst Gevaerts, Head of Cross Asset Retail Distribution Sales, opens the trading day by sounding the gong.

Turbos are listed investment products with leverage. In contrast to classic turbos, the innovative Turbo Life will not be deactivated if the stop loss-level is exceeded. Within 15 minutes after reaching the stop-loss level, an adjustment of the product features (funding level, stop loss level, parity) takes place, after which it can be traded again.

Ernst Gevaerts, responsible for the distribution of listed products of Société Générale in the Netherlands: ‘This innovation meets the often-heard desire of turbo-investors to have the ability to remain in the market and therefore benefit from a possible recovery after a sudden movement in the market.’
