Total net inflows at €416 million in March (€1,530 million YTD)

Net inflows of managed products at €272 million (€838 million YTD)

Milan, 1 April 2016 - Banca Generali's March net inflows were marked by strong volumes and the success of managed products, spurred by mutual funds, multi-line policies and new portfolio management solutions.

In Q1 2016, total net inflows exceeded €1.5 billion, up 34% compared to Q1 2015 and up 90% compared to Q1 2014. Increasingly lower bond returns and widespread negative interest rates of most reliable securities, in addition to credit system uncertainties and market volatility, generate concern among households, who are increasingly viewing Banca Generali as a solid and prestigious point of reference to protect and grow their investments.

Products such as funds, SICAVs and multi-line policies (BG Stile Libero), which were again in the spotlight in March thanks to the opportunities they offer, totalled net inflows of €148 million for the month. In addition, new portfolio management solutions (BG Solution) immediately attracted much interest thanks to their highly customised investment strategies and service profiling. Albeit remaining in positive territory, traditional policies slowed down, after the sharp growth reported in previous months (€125 million in March; €614 million YTD), as a result of market improvements.

Lastly, assets under administration and custody continued to generate strong inflows (€144 million in March; €692 million YTD) as a result of the constant acquisition of new customers who first transfer their securities accounts and subsequently analyse financial planning opportunities.

General Manager Gian Maria Mossa stated: "This was the best first quarter ever for our Bank in terms of net inflows. March saw a marked furtherance of the trend of acquisition of high-standing professionals and new customers who appreciate Banca Generali's solidity and professionalism in offering all-round capital protection. The Bank's ability to innovate have led to solutions that immediately met with great success, as confirmed by the performance of new portfolio management solutions. Unfortunately, March was marked by the untimely passing of our CEO Piermario Motta, who left an empty space in our lives, but also the clear awareness that the path he has drawn is just the beginning and that the great professional skills of the team he has formed will be able to achieve new and ambitious goals."
