BNP Paribas bags majority stake in Dutch asset manager

BNPP’s David Bouchoucha said the deal “marks an important step” in the development of the French banking group’s private debt platform.
He added: “It adds an innovative and well-established skillset in the sourcing, origination, management and servicing of granular loan portfolios, especially within the mortgage area. We look forward to integrating DCG within our teams, thereby further enriching our discussions with investors around private debt.”
