About Bank Degroof Petercam SA

Bank Degroof Petercam SA (Banque Degroof Petercam SA/NV) is a privately held Belgian bank and investment firm headquartered in Brussels, created in 2015 through the merger of Banque Degroof (founded in 1871) and Petercam (founded in 1968). The group focuses on four main areas: private banking (discretionary and advisory portfolio management, wealth planning within applicable legal frameworks, lending, custody, and execution), asset management conducted under the Degroof Petercam Asset Management banner (fund management across asset classes and institutional mandates), investment banking (M&A and capital markets advisory, equity and debt placements, and institutional brokerage), and fund services (administration, depositary/custody, and related support for investment funds). Activities are supervised in Belgium by the National Bank of Belgium and the Financial Services and Markets Authority, and the bank is subject to EU rules including MiFID II for investor protection and conduct of business. It maintains its core operations in Belgium with a presence in select neighboring European markets such as Luxembourg and France, while distributing investment strategies more broadly under EU passporting regimes. Eligible sight and term deposits are covered by Belgium’s deposit guarantee scheme up to EUR 100,000 per depositor per institution; investment products are not guaranteed, can fluctuate in value, and may entail loss of capital. Pricing typically reflects mandate type and scope, combining management and/or advisory fees, custody and administration charges, and transaction costs, with ex‑ante and ex‑post disclosures required by regulation; minimum relationship sizes may apply depending on service line. The institution publishes audited consolidated financial statements and regulatory disclosures (including Pillar 3), and it is required to maintain capital, liquidity, and risk management frameworks commensurate with its activities. Prospective clients should review the bank’s service terms, fee schedules, order execution and best‑interest policies, conflicts‑of‑interest management, and the segregation of functions across private banking, asset management, and corporate finance units, particularly when seeking both investment advice and transaction services from the group.
