Delen Private Bank has agreed to acquire 100% of Van Lawick & Co., a wealth management firm based in The Hague. The transaction supports Delen’s strategy of expanding its position in the Dutch wealth management market. The transaction is expected to close later in 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Van Lawick & Co. manages more than €550 million in assets on behalf of its clients. The firm specializes in wealth management and wealth coordination and operates with a team of five partners.
The acquisition will expand Delen Private Bank’s presence in The Hague and bring additional clients from across the Netherlands onto its platform. Combined with organic growth and previous acquisitions, Delen’s assets under management in the Netherlands have increased to more than €5.5 billion.
Van Lawick & Co. will begin operating under the Delen Private Bank brand following completion. Existing clients will retain their current points of contact, helping preserve continuity in personal service and relationship management.
The entire Van Lawick & Co. team is expected to remain with the combined organization. Delen said the firms share similar approaches to discretionary wealth management, long-term financial planning and personalized client guidance.
Discretionary wealth management allows a professional manager to make investment decisions within an agreed mandate on a client’s behalf. Delen combines this service with wealth planning intended to help clients understand how financial decisions could affect their assets and future generations.
Van Lawick & Co. was established in 2008 and has built its business around personalized service and long-term client relationships. Joining Delen is expected to provide the firm with additional expertise, greater scale and broader development opportunities.
The transaction represents Delen Private Bank’s eighth acquisition in the Netherlands over the past decade. The bank entered the country in 2016 through its acquisition of Oyens & Van Eeghen.
Delen subsequently acquired Nobel Vermogensbeheer in 2019 and Groenstate Vermogensbeheer in 2023. Additional acquisitions included Puur Beleggen and Box Consultants in 2024, followed by Petram & Co. and Servatus Vermogensmanagement in 2025.
The series of transactions has helped Delen establish operations across several major Dutch cities. The bank is present in Amsterdam, Heerenveen, Hengelo, ’s-Hertogenbosch, Noordwijk, Utrecht and Waalre, with additional locations planned in Breda and The Hague.
Delen Private Bank specializes in discretionary asset management and wealth planning. Its two principal shareholders are the Delen family and Belgian investment holding company Ackermans & van Haaren.
The wider Delen Group operates across five countries and employs more than 1,200 people. It managed approximately €76.4 billion in assets as of December 31, 2025.
