History
The company was founded in The Netherlands in 1988,[2] and has built a worldwide presence through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

In October 2008, British private equity firm Doughty Hanson & Co bought TMF Group for €750 million.[2] In January 2011, Doughty Hanson completed its €350 million acquisition of Equity Trust.
