Cobepa S.A.
 PROFILE
Is this a case of French aggression on neighboring demi-francophonic Belgium? BNP Paribas, one of Europe's largest banks, elbowed aside minority shareholders to take control of Cobepa, a merchant banking firm with a portfolio of long-term minority and majority stakes in growing companies, primarily in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Canada, in a variety of enterprises. Since BNP Paribas took control, though, Cobepa has sold some of the holdings in its investment portfolio, including stakes in Aegon, Dexia, and Bayer. Its parent is dismantling the firm and plans to merge it into its own investment funds.
