Early history

edit

The Banque Martin Maurel was established in 1964 as a result of a merger of Banque Martin Frères (founded in 1825) Banque Maurel (founded in 1929) by Robert Maurel.[1][2] At the time, the bank became a subsidiary of the holding company Compagnie Financière Martin Maurel Société Anonyme.[3][4]

In 2000, Martin Maurel co-founded the Martin Maurel Sella - Banque Privée Monaco with the Italian Banca Sella Group which[1] as of 2011 held over 1.8 billion Euros in assets.[5] This is in addition to the existing Monaco operations, which have dated back to 1987.

Acquisition by Rothschild & Co

edit

In June 2016, Rothschild & Co announced plans to acquire Banque Martin Maurel for €240 million.[6] At the time Martin Maurel had €10 billion of assets under management in France, most of which part of its private banking business. As a result, Rothschild Matin Maurel became leading independent private bank in France, with combined AUM of €34 billion.[7]

In 2017 after the close of the acquisition, Rothschild merged Banque Martin Maurel and its own private bank Rothschild & Cie Banque to form Rothschild Martin Maurel.[8]

Current Operations

edit

The bank is headquartered at 29 Avenue de Messine in Paris;[9] however, its main office is at another address in Marseille.[3] The bank has branches in Paris, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Brussels, Neuilly-sur-Seine, and Monaco.[3][5]

It is a member of the Groupement Européen de Banques.[5][10]
