What it does

It runs four businesses: a corporate bank handling payments, trade finance and cash management; an investment bank covering trading, financing and advisory work in mergers and capital markets; a private bank offering everyday banking, credit and wealth advice; and an asset manager running active, passive and alternative strategies. It is based in Frankfurt am Main and listed in the United States.
