ABN AMRO is close to a deal to buy HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK)'s German wealth management business, Trinkaus and Burkhardt, with an announcement likely in 2-3 weeks, German financial newspaper Boersenzeiturg reported.

Germany is Europe's biggest wealth management market. Last month, ABN AMRO had inked a deal with FOSUN INTL (00656.HK) to buy private bank Hauck Aufhaeuser Lampe from the latter for US$730 million. If the acquisition of HSBC's German wealth management business is completed, ABN AMRO's asset management size will increase by EUR26 billion to approximately EUR70 billion.
