The deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, was first announced in April 2016. EFG said that the deal will not impact its regulatory capital position.
“The acquisition significantly strengthens EFG International’s presence in Luxembourg and reinforces the bank’s focus on growing its wealth management presence in Europe,” EFG said in a statement.
