The pan-European group, parent of London-based Brown Shipley, has also rebarded KBL Luxembourg as Quintet Luxembourg and KBL España as Quintet España.
Brown Shipley, InsingerGillissen in the Netherlands, Merck Finck in Germany, and Puilaetco (Belgium and Luxembourg) will all be known as Quintet private banks.
All brands will adopt a shared corporate identity, illustrated by five interlocking rings. Also, the name was inspired by a symbol of the five senses and five fingers on a hand.
“Our new name speaks to who we are as a firm and how we deliver value to people,” explained Jakob Stott, CEO, Wealth Management. “Like a musical ensemble, we bring together different viewpoints and diverse perspectives so we can meet our clients’ needs and earn their trust by always doing the right thing for them.
