AMSTERDAM (Thomson Financial) - The name ABN Amro will not immediately
disappear after the merger of the asset management activities of Fortis and ABN
Amro, newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad reported, citing head of Fortis
Investments, Richard Wohanka.
Wohanka said at the presentation of Fortis Investments' full-year results
yesterday that Fortis will retain several brand names following the merger, the
FD reported.
The name ABN Amro can be retained particularly when the funds are sold via
ABN Amro channels, Wohanka said, adding that the investment funds of Fortis and
ABN Amro will be merged in the fourth quarter of this year.
