Their philosophy was then as it is today to create sustainable financial networks that foster innovation and combine efficiency, flexibility and versatility. The bank has always remained committed to innovation, and thus has entered into partnerships with Fintechs, such as the digital financial intermediary easyfolio. They also took over Luxembourg companies of Sal. Oppenheim in 2017, which significantly increased their asset volume and the number of clients and employees (currently 726+) in the fund business.
The possession by their partner and long-term oriented investor Fosun International Ltd., which was approved in 2016, enabled them to access new lines of business and new markets, and sustainably strengthened the growth prospects of the bank. Furthermore it facilitated the organization to stay true to its motto — Start Leaving Traces.
