Kleinwort Benson Takeover
Kleinwort Benson, a prominent merchant bank, acquired Grieveson Grant in April 1986.
This takeover allowed Kleinwort Benson to enter the securities market without having to buy a jobbing firm, as a number of senior market-makers from Wedd Durlacher Mordaunt defected to join them.
In 1995, Kleinwort Benson was acquired by Dresdner Bank and became its investment banking arm, Dresdner Kleinwort.
The original business of Grieveson Grant was gradually reduced and eventually disappeared from corporate branding through a series of closures and sales.
