On 1 April 2007, the transfer of the private banking activities of KAS BANK to Nachenius Tjeenk has been completed, following the approval of the Dutch Central Bank. The transaction involved the transfer to Nachenius Tjeenk of about EUR 750 million previously under management of KAS BANK. Nachenius Tjeenk also acquired Associatie Cassa, the company within KAS BANK which provided fiduciary services to private banking clients.
For Nachenius Tjeenk the acquisition represents an important step in its development strategy to reach EUR 2.5 billion in assets under management. With the acquisition of the private banking activities of KAS BANK, Nachenius Tjeenk confirms its position as one of the leading platforms in the Netherlands exclusively dedicated to private banking services.
For KAS BANK the transfer is a strategic choice enabling the bank to focus entirely on its European wholesale activities for professional parties, in particular institutional investors and financial institutions. KAS BANK's advisor in this transaction was Holland Corporate Finance.
