History

Early History

The Banque Martin Maurel was established in 1964 as a result of a merger of Banque Martin Frères Banque Maurel by Robert Maurel. At the time, the bank became a subsidiary of the holding company Compagnie Financière Martin Maurel Société Anonyme.
In 2000, Martin Maurel co-founded the Martin Maurel Sella - Banque Privée Monaco with the Italian Banca Sella Group which as of 2011 held over 1.8 billion Euros in assets. This is in addition to the existing Monaco operations, which have dated back to 1987.

Acquisition by Rothschild

In June 2016, Rothschild & Co announced plans to acquire Banque Martin Maurel for €240 million. At the time Martin Maurel had €10 billion of assets under management in France, most of which part of its private banking business. As a result, Rothschild became leading independent private bank in France, with combined AUM of €34 billion.
In 2017 after the close of the acquisition, Rothschild merged Martin Maurel and its own private bank to form Rothschild Martin Maurel.
