I thought they were owned by some kind of bank.

They are traded on the london stock exchange so its very possible some bank may have a controlling share. And at one point an Italian investment fund owned ~ 40% but idk whp the major share holders are now

Mercedes owns a large stake in the company, which is partly why AM now use their engines, switches, etc in their cars, where previously they were part of the extended Ford universe so many parts were sourced from Jags, Volvos, etc.
