The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of 2015, subject to closing conditions, including regulatory approval. Following this, the shareholders also intend to establish a new global merchant banking operation in Dubai to offer advisory services for corporate activity in the region. Founded over 200 years ago and headquartered in London, Kleinwort Benson Bank is involved in merchant banking, providing private wealth, banking, fiduciary and corporate advisory services. Kleinwort Benson Bank ended 2014 with £3.4bn in assets under management and holds a full UK banking licence. Leonhard Fischer, chief executive of BHF Kleinwort Benson Group, said: "Our firmly-held view is that opportunity lies in the closer integration of established and developing markets and the ability to introduce clients to high-calibre, differentiated investments that are not available from more commoditised providers. "We are bringing together the heft and reach of our diversified shareholder base, including China's Fosun Group, with Samena Capital's unique group of business leaders and value creators from across the Middle East and Asia." Shirish Saraf, founder and vice chairman of Samena Capital, confirmed the intention to underpin the "solid recent progress" made by Kleinwort Benson and build out a global operation with a strong focus on the emerging markets.
