BCC chairman and vice-chairman of both NIH and PIBL Marco Netzer said: “While we felt that BCC might no longer be the best owner for PIBL, we were committed to finding a solid partner, which can provide PIBL with healthy development prospects, and at the same time safeguard PIBL's independence to the benefit of PIBL's existing and very loyal client base.”
IPG Securities Asset Management partner and future CEO of IXE Capital Bahamas Carlos Molina said: "We are excited about the new opportunities that will be captured as a result of this partnership. This initiative will create operational efficiencies and will bring the focus back on our HNWI clients, so as to fill the gap left by large financial institutions."
BCC said that it will keep a representative at PIBL's board of directors and Roger Durig will remain as CEO of PIB.
