Announcement | Twain: Wealth Management Reimagined
_________
Antwerp / Brussels, 30/01/2026
Allianz Benelux and Econopolis have found common ground in their shared ambition to take a different approach to traditional wealth management in Belgium. They are therefore jointly launching Twain, an innovative wealth management solution for high net worth individuals with assets of €200,000 or more. To make this possible, Allianz Benelux is joining Econodigital, the joint venture in which Twain is being developed, as a 50% partner.
Allianz is active in the Belgian insurance market through an extensive network of independent insurance brokers and B2B for large companies. Econopolis is a highly reputable local player with a thorough knowledge of the Belgian market. With Twain, both parties want to join forces and respond to the needs of customers who are not sufficiently served by the current wealth management segment.
Twain offers a refreshing approach that distinguishes itself from both the traditional wealth management segment and the purely digital solutions on the market. Twain is entrepreneurial, innovative, solid in its analysis expertise and investment strategy, and offers customisation with economies of scale. All this is made possible with Twain.
Traditional wealth management is characterized by standardization where personalization should be the norm, complexity where customers want clarity and simplicity, and high costs where efficiency through technology is expected. Genuine customisation, guidance tailored to their personal situation, knowledge sharing and working towards objectives form the core of Twain's unique approach.
A shared ambition, with digital and human services without frills
Twain combines the strengths of Allianz and Econopolis. Econopolis brings its many years of experience in asset management, digital development and long-term strategy via Econopolis Wealth Management. Allianz adds robustness, international expertise, financial strength and its extensive Belgian network of independent brokers.
Twain targets entrepreneurs, professionals, executives and families who expect their manager to think along with them and grow with them throughout their lives. Customers who value transparency, trust and personalised guidance without frills. Twain offers a comprehensive solution that uses technology to support well-considered choices and links them to the availability of experts for consultation.
Focus on investing
Twain combines a clear digital environment with personal guidance at crucial moments, fully focused on the investment experience. Customers have permanent insight into their portfolio and their financial situation, while they can count on a permanent relationship manager for strategic questions and important decisions.
The digital experience is designed to offer personalisation, simplicity and clarity, without unnecessary complexity. There are as many different portfolios as there are customers. At the same time, personal contact remains an essential part of the model, based on the conviction that trust and context are indispensable. We also look forward to our collaborations with locally based partners for this purpose.
Phased roll-out
The announcement of Twain marks the beginning of a new chapter. In the coming months, Econopolis and Allianz Benelux will continue to develop and refine the platform and welcome our first customers.
It is important to note that both Allianz and Econopolis will continue to carry out their current activities unchanged. With Twain, they are jointly entering a new market segment that is currently dominated by traditional wealth managers.
