Orea Capital Strengthens Its Presence in Belgium with the Acquisition of Delande & Cie

Luxembourg / Brussels, May 11, 2026 — Orea Capital announces the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of Delande & Cie, a firm founded in 1922 in Brussels and recognized for its expertise in investment advisory services for private and institutional clients.

This transaction is part of Orea Capital’s continued, carefully managed growth strategy and marks a significant step in strengthening its presence in Belgium. It reflects the group’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurs, families, and institutional clients over the long term through an independent, personalized, and demanding wealth management approach.

Following completion of the transaction, the combined entity will represent nearly €1.5 billion in assets under management.

Fully financed through shareholders’ equity, the transaction is expected to be finalized during 2026, subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals. Financial terms were not disclosed.

A Shared Vision of Wealth Management

Orea Capital and Delande & Cie share the same vision of their profession: rigorous, transparent management firmly focused on the long term, serving lasting relationships built on trust.

This partnership will combine the expertise of both firms while respecting the shared values that underpin their advisory and discretionary management approach, namely independence, discretion, and client service.

Orea Capital’s investment philosophy is based on a deliberately streamlined approach: active discretionary management focused on high-quality equities, bonds, and ETFs. This strategy, appreciated by clients, is rooted in prudent diversification and long-term performance, supported by strong alignment between the founders and their clients.

Jacques Mahaux, Chairman of the Board of Orea Capital:

“We are pleased to welcome the teams from Delande & Cie. This transaction reflects our desire to strengthen our presence in Belgium while continuing to develop an independent firm committed to simple, high-quality discretionary management. We favor selective growth alongside partners who share our high standards of service, proximity, and trust.”

Philippe Delande, Managing Director of Delande & Cie:

“This partnership is a continuation of the support we are committed to providing our clients, while also opening up new opportunities. I am thinking in particular of Orea Capital’s discretionary management, whose performance since inception demonstrates the consistency and rigor of its approach. This evolution, within an independent structure faithful to our values, will allow us to continue cultivating, with high standards and discernment, the relationship of trust patiently built over time.”

Continuity in Service of Clients

Clients of Delande & Cie will continue to be supported by their usual contacts, with the existing teams forming a key pillar of this transition.

The objective is to preserve established relationships while giving clients access to Orea Capital’s broader resources. The partnership will therefore enhance the offering in discretionary management and wealth planning for both private and institutional clients, including pension funds and associations.

This operational and relational continuity is a central element of the transaction. Orea Capital will integrate Delande & Cie while respecting its history, local roots, and the quality of its tailor-made approach.

Completion Conditions

The completion of the transaction remains subject to obtaining the required regulatory approvals from the competent authorities.
