We wanted to develop our wealth management and asset management businesses. Banque Richelieu turned out to be the perfect acquisition for us, and we were particularly impressed by the quality of the teams, its size, and, of course, its strong sense of client relations. Banque Richelieu’s esprit de conquête primarily involves sern our cvig lients’ own conquests by supporting them in response to their needs. It is by their success alone that we succeed today and that we will continue to succeed tomorrow. Antoun Sehnaoui Chairman of the Board of Directors Compagnie Financière Richelieu
