A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Société Générale group, we are the first foreign bank to have set up in Luxembourg, one of the world's leading markets. Initially a commercial bank, we quickly developed our securities business and now constitute one of the main pillars of the Group's Société Générale Private Banking division.
