Van Lanschot Kempen Switzerland combines private banking and
asset management activities and represents the Netherlands-based

management proposition.
The bank serves internationally-oriented private clients, family
offices and institutional investors and maintains an
international network of tax specialists, trust offices,
independent asset managers and other intermediaries. In late
August Van Lanschot Kempen reported that its net profit for the
first half of 2021 rose to €58.3 million from €40.4 million, up
9.5 per cent year-on-year. Total assets under management stood at
€104.2 billion, rising 18 per cent from the end of 2020. The
group has made acquisitions in recent months. Earlier this year,
it bought Hof Hoorneman Bankiers, a Dutch asset management group
with a banking licence. In July 2021, Van Lanschot Kempen won
approval to buy Mercier Vanderlinden, taking a 70 per cent stake
in this wealth manager, and adding to the group’s Belgian
footprint.
In early July this year, Van Lanschot Kempen appointed Lars
Dijkstra in the newly-created role of chief sustainability
officer.
