Refinancing

of Volkswagen Financial Services Overseas AG

Funding Strategy

The Funding Mix of VWFS Overseas is based on regional peculiarities. Each entity of the Volkswagen Financial Servies Overseas Group uses the local market for their refinancing. It is one of the basic objectives of our refinancing strategy to optimise our refinancing costs by focusing on the following topics: 

  1. Well-diversified financing instruments: Ensuring our growth on the one hand, and refinancing at the best conditions possible on the other requires an extensive set of highly sophisticated instruments and measures. Our spectrum includes issuing bonds in different markets and currencies as well as asset-backed securities (ABS) and  commercial papers and where possible collecting customer deposits. Due to our presence in different market segments we benefit from the most favourable conditions.
  2. Also utilising means outside the company rating: In the case of ABS tranches, it is the underlying receivables, which are subjected to the rating, but not the company. With all these issuances we have achieved triple-A ratings, which is a proof for their high quality. 
  3. Finding and tapping new investors: The acquisition of new investors by usage of new instruments, tapping new regions or usage of new currencies we are extending our refinancing basis. 
  4. Minimizing risks by usage of capital market derivatives: It goes without saying that we observe the development of the interest rate structure curve in order to take advantage of favourable refinancing rates. We utilise particular financial derivatives such as interest rate swaps so that we always successfully match maturities with our current business operations. In principle refinancing is carried out in local currency. If the refinancing is not done in local currency, the currency risk is fully hedged.
