Capital One has launched Donatello, introducing a dedicated Bespoke Private Wealth Management concept for High-Net-Worth (HNW) and Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) clients in Sri Lanka.

Donatello combines a dedicated lounge influenced by art and culture with Capital One’s expertise in investment banking and bespoke wealth management services. As a game changer in Sri Lanka’s private wealth management landscape, the concept is designed to provide private wealth clients with a setting that represents their interests in culture, collecting, and legacy in addition to an environment for personalised financial conversations.

Founder/Group Managing Director Veranga Vithanaarachchi said: “Wealth management is not only about managing what clients have today, but understanding what they want their wealth to achieve over time. By fusing art, culture, and the kind of access that meets the needs of our private wealth clients with our investment knowledge and personalised advisory approach, Donatello takes that discussion outside of the traditional banking environment.”

Capital One will give clients access to customised investment strategies, wealth planning, estate planning, and investment advisory services through its Bespoke Private Wealth Management offering. As part of client experience, Donatello will also provide concierge facilities.

A key component of the Donatello concept is art, which creates a setting where conversations about wealth coexist with Sri Lankan art and culture. The approach gives the lounge a unique identity within Capital One’s private wealth offering while acknowledging the relationship between wealth, collecting, cultural appreciation, and legacy.

The launch is an investment in a specific space and service offering for the HNW and UHNW segment, building on Capital One’s existing experience in relationship-led investment banking.

Donatello will open on 25 September, bringing Capital One’s investment expertise and bespoke wealth management services together in a space where wealth meets art and financial planning meets legacy.
