ABN AMRO MeesPierson

Your assets deserve personal care and attention. When your plate is full, it is nice to have someone looking over your shoulder and actively thinking with you. Private Banking is there to help you realise your individual and family goals. At ABN AMRO MeesPierson we also add your business goals to the mix. 

Financial markets were extremely volatile in April. First, US tariffs announcement pushed markets lower. When US President Donald Trump backpedalled, equity markets recovered with force and now above ‘Liberation Day’ levels. Although we do not expect a recession, we do expect that the ongoing uncertainty will cause volatility to remain elevated. Therefore, we are using the rebound in financial markets to take some risk off the table.  

In Belgium, ABN AMRO Private Banking will enter a new chapter and adopt the name ABN AMRO MeesPierson. By doing so, the private bank not only aligns the private banking business of its Belgian branch with the strong brand in the Netherlands, but also confirms its increased focus on Belgian entrepreneurs. With this repositioning, ABN AMRO underlines its long-term vision on private banking and profiles itself no longer solely as an asset manager, but as a committed advisory partner at every pivotal stage in the lives of high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial families.

Equity markets were on fire at the beginning of the week, after a weekend agreement was announced by the US and China to significantly lower trade tariffs between them -- at least for a 90 day period.
