- Q: A well known stock broking company (Raligare) approached me and asked me to invest a lump sum with a promise to multiply money. With the greed I invested Rs. 510,000 and signed an agreement without knowing the complete details. I invested the money by May 2009 and by August the value was reduced to Rs. 45,000. When I approached the higher authorities by then without any sympathy they were telling they were not God to multiply the money. They question how can I rely the words of an employee who was just getting a salary of Rs 20,000 a month. further they simply said that I shall approach SEBI or any other regulatory. Is their way of dealing with their customer right? I know I will not get back my money. But I do not want some other common man like me to loose his money like me. Can you do something to help the common man? I am ready to provide details if needed. I contacted SEBI but it was on no use. Though it is 2 years old I want to share it with you.

LeasePlan Reports 13% Net Profit increase to EUR 225 million in 2011
LeasePlan Reports 13% Net Profit increase to EUR 225 million in 20112nd Feb 2012, 10:30 (IST) |
.gif) Almere, Netherlands - LeasePlan India (Business Wire India) LeasePlan Corporation N.V., the world's leading fleet and vehicle management company, today published its annual results for 2011. KEY HIGHLIGHTS -- Net profit increased by 13% to EUR 225 million, compared to EUR 199 million in 2010 -- Total number of vehicles increased by 2.7% to over 1.3 million -- Diversified funding strategy on track with LeasePlan Bank again proving to be a strong performer -- Strong solvency position with core tier 1 ratio of 14.9% -- All three major rating agencies recognise resilience of performance by maintaining outlook at stable KEY NUMBERS Vahid Daemi, Chairman and CEO of LeasePlan Corporation said: “LeasePlan once again delivered impressive results in an economic environment that continues to present many challenges. Net profit for the year grew by 13% to EUR 225 million, fuelled by substantial improvements in traditional interest margins and stable performance in other diversified income streams. Our ability to deliver consistently strong profitability from a range of sources reflects the scale advantages of our business model. Additionally, we ended the year in a strong solvency position. The core tier 1 ratio of 14.9% is well above current and future (Basel III) requirements and risk-weighted assets are at EUR 14.0 billion (EUR 12.8 billion end of 2010). Despite a tough environment for growth, LeasePlan remained focused on its sustainable growth path. The number of vehicles increased by 2.7%, chiefly owing to an acquisition in Portugal and supported by autonomous growth namely in our largest markets. Thanks in particular to our ability to adapt to market conditions, we have continued to serve our clients well by providing the right products and services. This is evident in an increase globally in client satisfaction and loyalty. Owing to the limited economic recovery and ongoing market uncertainties, we did experience a negative trend throughout the year on the results for terminated contracts. This resulted in an overall outcome for terminated contracts in 2011 that was worse than 2010. The result shows a mixed picture with some countries experiencing difficulties, while in other countries the news is more positive. On average vehicles terminated were sold with a loss, with a marked deterioration in the second half of the year. On a positive note, we are able to compensate the negative trend in terminated contracts with stronger performance in other areas due to our diverse income streams. FUNDING OUR BUSINESS Despite the uncertainties in the financial markets, our diversification strategy is still on track. Our retail bank in the Netherlands, LeasePlan Bank, entered its second full year of operation with very promising figures of almost EUR 2.8 billion in deposits, including a large number of term deposits. Further to the success of our retail bank, we built on the momentum of securitising lease assets with a private placement, Bumper 2, that yielded EUR 602.4 million and a public placement, Bumper 4 that yielded EUR 727.5 million. Despite the difficult conditions, we continued to conclude regular issuances in the unsecured debt capital market. We further built on this success with the latest debt capital market transaction completed in the first week of January 2012. LeasePlan ended 2011 with a healthy liquidity buffer consisting of over EUR 3.0 billion of committed facilities and over EUR 1.5 billion in cash. OUTLOOK FOR 2012 With the encouraging performance of last year, we enter 2012 with confidence in the strength and stability of our business model and global franchise. Although we look ahead with cautious optimism about the level of performance we can achieve during 2012, we recognise that future performance and growth opportunities will be in the context of ongoing uncertainties of global economic conditions and volatility of financial markets.” CREDIT RATINGS LeasePlan's long term unsecured debt ratings remained stable and unchanged from the previous year, as rated by Standard & Poor's (BBB+), Moody's (A3) and Fitch (A-).
