History
[edit]The firm was founded in 1968 as a division of Midland Bank after Midland's acquisition of Montagu Trust, owner of Samuel Montagu & Co.[3] The business was renamed HSBC Private Equity after HSBC acquired Midland Bank in 1992 and the Montagu name was revived when Montagu's management team acquired 80.1% of Montagu shares from HSBC in 2003.[4][5] In 2013, the team purchased the remaining 19.9% from HSBC.[6]
In September 2016, Montagu acquired Berenberg Bank and Bankhaus Lampe's stakes in Universal Investment, thus gaining control of the German asset management firm.[7]
