Intertrust's origins date back to the incorporation of NV Trust Corporation Pierson, Heldring & Pierson in 1952. [5] Shankar Iyer has been the company's acting chief executive officer since December 2020. [6]

Intertrust has locations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, [7] but most of its revenue stems from a small number of tax havens. [8] The company is listed on Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange. [9] As of 2015 Intertrust's clients include 6 out of the top 10 of the Fortune Global 500, as well as thirty out of the world's fifty largest private equity funds.

History

In 1952, NV Trust Corporation Pierson, Heldring & Pierson was incorporated in Curaçao by Pierson, Heldring & Pierson. In 1975, AMRO Bank acquired Pierson, Heldring & Pierson and ABN Bank acquired Mees & Hope Bankers. After the merger of ABN Bank and AMRO bank into ABN AMRO in 1991, Pierson, Heldring & Pierson and Mees & Hope Bank were merged into MeesPierson in 1993. The trust and corporate management services activities were branded as MeesPierson Trust. [5]

In 1997, MeesPierson was acquired by Fortis. [10] In 2002, MeesPierson acquired Holland Intertrust Corporation and rebranded as MeesPierson Intertrust. The company adopted its owner's name in 2006 and rebranded as Fortis Intertrust. [11]

In June 2009, Fortis Intertrust was rebranded as Intertrust. It was sold to Dutch investor, Rob Thielen's, Waterland Private Equity Investments [12] for a reported price of either €210 million [13] or €250 million. [14]

In December 2012, Blackstone Group announced that it would acquire Intertrust from Waterland Private Equity Investments, which was completed in April 2013. [15] [16] Reports stated that Blackstone paid €675 million for Intertrust. [13]

Intertrust held its initial public offering in September 2015 in Amsterdam, expecting to raise €475 million. [17] In October 2015, shares of Intertrust N.V. started trading on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange at an issue price of €15.50 per share. In total, Intertrust's IPO raised about €486 million. [9] The company's profits decreased from €6.3 million in 2014 to €2.6 million in 2015 due to increased competition on the Cayman Islands. [2] [18]

In November 2022, the US-based Corporation Service Company (CSC) completed its acquisition of Intertrust for $2 billion. [19] [20]

Acquisitions

In June 2013, Intertrust announced that it would acquire ATC for $397 million, which was completed in December 2013.

Hope & Co. was a Dutch bank that existed for two and a half centuries. The bank was located in Amsterdam until 1795; originally it concentrated on Great Britain. From 1750 it played a major part in the finances of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) through Thomas Hope and his brother Adrian. During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) the Hope brothers profited from the Netherlands' neutral position and became very wealthy. The Hopes became heavily involved in the Dutch Caribbean, and Danish West Indies. They specialised in plantation loans, in which the entire produce of the plantation was remitted to the lender, who would supervise its sale in order to secure repayment. In this way, the Hopes helped the plantation economy to become integrated into a global network of financiers and consumers. The Hope family were among the richest in Europe at the time. The family business focused on financing commercial transactions and especially on issuing money loans to monarchs and governments in Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Spain, France and America. The bank was famous for having Catherine the Great as their client and Adrian supplied her several times with diamonds.
