Delen Private Bank is originally a Belgian bank that specialises in wealth management and the global planning of private and business assets of private customers. [1]
André Delen founded a brokerage firm in Antwerp in 1936. In 1975, he left the management to his sons and Jacques Delen, the youngest of them, became CEO. In 1990, with the cooperation of Paul De Winter, the emphasis was placed on discretionary asset management. In 1992, the Antwerp stockbroking company became part of the holding company Ackermans & van Haaren and together they form a group, which also includes the sister bank Bank J. Van Breda & Co. In 1994, Delen took over the Bank O. de Schaetzen in order to strengthen its position and acquire banking status. Various mergers and acquisitions followed. [2]
