History
On 1 February 1881 Theodorus Antonius Josephus Gilissen (1858-1918) founded the Theodoor Gilissen Bankiers. Until 1962 the bank operated as an independent company, then it became a corporation. In 1967 the bank became a part of the Bank Mees and Hope, later MeesPierson. MeesPierson was in turn owned by ABN AMRO. In 1997 MeesPierson was sold by ABN Amro to Dutch-Belgian group Fortis, and Theodoor Gilissen was included in the transaction. In 2003 Theodoor Gilissen was sold to KBL European Private Bankers (KBL EPB), now known as Quintet Private Bank.[1]
In 2011, KBC sold its European private banking branch KBL EPB, including Theodoor Gilissen, to Precision Capital from Luxembourg for more than €1 billion.[2] The latter is a Luxembourg entity that represents the interests of a group of private investors from Qatar.
