Overview

KBL European Private Bankers (KBL epb), founded in 1949, is headquartered in Luxembourg with a pan-European presence in nine countries. With over 2,000 staff and €41 billion in assets under management and €39 billion in assets under custody (as of December 31, 2012), KBL epb is widely recognized as a private banking leader.[7]

The group provides a range of additional investment solutions through its Global Investor Services, Global Financial Markets and Asset Management departments. The group has subsidiaries across nine European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

With the full support of its shareholder, Precision Capital,[8] a Luxembourg-based bank holding company, KBL epb is consolidating its presence across Europe and expanding its horizons to capture future opportunities in high-growth emerging markets, including the Middle East and Asia.[9] Precision Capital is ultimately owned by members of the Al Thani family of Qatar.[10]

History

On May 23, 1949, Kredietbank Luxembourg officially became a registered bank in the Grand Duchy and opened its doors a few months later.

In the early days, KBL had only five employees on its payroll, including the CEO, Constant Franssens.

Since its founding, KBL epb has continued to expand across Europe through organic and inorganic growth. Its offerings have increased as well to include, for example, global investor services, life insurance and credit.
