BNP Paribas Wealth Management plans to invest further in Germany while continuing its expansion across Europe and Asia, Chief Executive Vincent Lecomte said in an interview published by WealthBriefing Asia on November 3, 2026. The comments put the bank's private-banking strategy in focus as investors assess the contribution of fee-based activities beyond lending.
BNP Paribas stock traded at 96.48 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 10:03 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 2.74 percent above the Xetra close of Monday, November 9, at 93.91 euros.
Germany Provides A Larger Platform
Lecomte said the acquisition of HSBC Private Bank's German activities had more than doubled BNP Paribas Wealth Management's size in Germany to 50 billion euros of assets under management. The unit has a presence in 10 German cities, including Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich, and plans to invest further.
Germany is a key market for entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses and families. France and Italy remain important markets, while Belgium and the Netherlands add to the wider European platform. Lecomte also pointed to northern Italy as an opportunity for further growth.
Asia Adds A Second Growth Leg
Asia accounts for more than 20 percent of BNP Paribas Wealth Management's assets under management. Lecomte described 2026 as a record year for the region, citing stronger activity in Taiwan and a larger presence in Thailand. The group is preparing a 2030 plan focused on closer client relationships.
For investors, the strategy offers a route to expand recurring wealth-management revenue and reduce reliance on lending-related activity. The financial impact will depend on client inflows, investment spending and the ability to convert additional assets into sustainable fees and returns.
