BIP was seen as heir to the traditions of BGL, with its long history of support for the creation and ongoing development of companies in Luxembourg and beyond. To continue and consolidate these achievements, the bank opted to contribute its institutional investment business to a new, independent company. This focuses talents and resources to unleash the value of existing firms and turn new ideas into business reality. The launch of BIP was associated with a capital increase through an Initial Public Offering, allowing other institutions and private investors to participate in the venture.

In February 2006, the company changed its name to BIP Investment Partners in the wake of the rebranding of Banque Générale.
