Since the acquirement of Tilney by Deutsche Bank in 2006, which cost roughly £300 million, it has been largely loss-making for the bank, with a £9.5 million pre-tax loss in 2012. This followed a £8.9 million pre-tax loss in 2011. Their assets stood at £4.6 billion at the end of 2012, which is £2.1 billion less than their value at the time of the acquisition. Deutsche have been positioning to sell the branch since the summer.
The move by Permira follows their acquisition of Bestinvest earlier this month as they look towards moving more into the wealth management business.
Deutsche Bank and Permira declined to comment.
