Aggressive European
expansion

In June, Kleinwort Benson completed its £26.4m
($42m) acquisition of Close Offshore Group, which increased the
bank’s assets under management (AuM) by £1.6bn.

The acquisition also extended Kleinwort
Benson’s offshore reach with additional presence in the Isle of Man
and South Africa.

In July, the bank acquired family office
Karrig Strategic Capital and a 6-strong team headed by Paul
Kearney. The acquired entity formed a recently launched Kleinwort
Benson Private Investment Office unit.

AuM at Kleinwort Benson UK and the Channel
Islands, which includes Close Offshore Group, stood at £5.1bn as at
30 September.
