We like to think that over time this our investor conference will become a recurring opportunity for Italian companies to interact with the German financial community, which have already shown particular interest in getting to know Italian companies, stocks and financial products. Our goal is always to help the firms to get a constant attention from investors, in Italy and abroad, to better communicate their equity stories and strategies in order to increase their shareholder base. This year more companies as well as more investors attended the Conference that is Mifid II compliant. Our relationship and joint forces with Banca Akros and equinet Bank were smooth and extremely productive. We really hope to continue to strengthen this fruitful cooperation in the future along with the essential support of Borsa Italiana.

We constantly work to create investment opportunities for the institutional community and Germany is a key market for us. In 2018 the Italian mid-small environment remains exciting: the introduction of fiscal exemption on individual savings plans (the so-called PIR) creates for the coming four years a non-speculative demand of investment opportunities in stocks and bonds issued by Mid&Small caps, offering those companies an unprecedented opportunity to access more funding sources alternative to the banking sector”.

This event shows very well the benefits of the network for us, our partners in Europe and our clients”.
