Net inflows at Italian asset gatherers up to 3.5 billion euros in October
By Alberto Chiumento and Alessandro Parodi
Nov 8 (Reuters) -Italy's five listed asset gatherers reported combined net inflows of 3.49 billion euros ($375.18 billion) for October, up from 7.9 million euros in the same month of 2023.
Net inflows into more lucrative assets under management rose to a combined 1.52 billion euros, from negative 1.53 billions last year, data showed.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
With interest rates declining, banks have turned to net fees and brokerage products to drive revenue and offset the declining contribution from their lending business. Banca Generali BGN.MI said a third-quarter profit beat was helped by demand for managed solutions.
Changes in the asset management industry and rising competition put pressure on margins and scale becomes increasingly important, driving consolidation in the sector.
Italy's third-largest Banco BPM BAMI.MI on Wednesday launched a buyout offer to gain full control of asset manager Anima Holding ANIM.MI, which now it controls with a 22% stake, in an deal worth up to 1.6 billion euro.
