Milan, 10 February 2021 – The Board of Directors of Banca Generali, chaired by Giancarlo Fancel, approved the preliminary consolidated results at 31 December 2020.

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Gian Maria Mossa stated: “We are proud of the very solid result achieved, as it confirms our commitment and determination, for which I would like to thank all of our bankers and colleagues. In such a complex year, marked by the health emergency and the economic crisis, we were able to be even closer to our clients, and best protect wealth, as shown by the upward spikes in total assets, net inflows and assets under advanced advisory. Despite the one-off charges and the higher tax rate, we recorded the best year in the Bank’s history. We will submit to the Shareholders’ General Meeting a proposal for a significant dividend, thus confirming our business model based on sustainable growth and creation of shareholder value. We have entered the final year of our three-year plan, convinced that we can meet our pre-set targets, and in many cases even exceed them, thanks to our constant revenue growth and diversification and our strong operating leverage, with growing assets and solid cost control. Regardless of the pandemic-related uncertainties, the attention shown by many experienced professionals working in the private banking and wealth management sector and clients’ strong demand for advisory make us look to 2021 with optimism.”
