In private banking, the combined entrusted assets of Delen Private Bank and Banque Van Breda reached 86.4 billion euros at the end of March 2026. This amount has slightly decreased from the record at the end of 2025, due to unfavorable financial markets, but remains up 13% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Both banks recorded positive net inflows during the period, despite an environment marked by geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and market volatility.
Nextensa and SIPEF Also Contribute to the Momentum
In real estate, Nextensa, 69% owned, reported a net group share result of 9.6 million euros in the first quarter, up from 7.8 million euros a year earlier. The company also strengthened its balance sheet, with a net financial position improved to -571.8 million euros from -592.8 million euros at the end of 2025, and a debt ratio reduced from 38.80% to 37.69%. Notably, Nextensa finalized the sale of the Gewerbepark Stadlau commercial park in Vienna for a net amount of 35.45 million euros.
