Commenting on the event, Bianca Fersini-Mastelloni, Polytems CEO, said “We are delighted to have organized an international roadshow in the largest financial centre in continental Europe. As a facilitator of financial relations, Polytems is honoured to bring together institutional investors and corporate clients who can enjoy a privileged time to gain visibility and exposure respectively. Our ultimate goal is to help the firms to get a constant attention from investors, to better communicate their equity stories and strategies in order to increase their shareholder base. Our relationship and joint forces with Banca Akros and equinet Bank were smooth and extremely productive. We really hope to continue this successful cooperation in the future and, obviously, along with the essential support of Borsa Italiana”.
Francesco Previtera, Head of Research at Banca Akros, said “We have always been fully committed to provide top services to our customers, giving to the companies the best opportunities to meet investors likely to be interested in their stocks, in their equity stories and strategies. We constantly work to create investment opportunities for the institutional community and Germany is a key market for us. Moreover, we strongly believe that the Italian mid-small environment in 2017 is particularly exciting following the introduction of fiscal exemption on individual savings plans (the so-called PIR). For this reason we will continue even more to promote it, both domestically and abroad, always with the supervision of Borsa Italiana”.
Tim Schuldt, Head of Research at equinet Bank added: “As a partner in the ESN network our focus is to provide our customers with interesting investment opportunities and corporate contacts not only from our German universe but across Europe.
