EFG International is further strengthening its management teams as part of the ongoing transformation of the business and today announced the following appointments:

EFG International is strengthening its regional management team in Asia and today announced the appointment of Tho Gea Hong as CEO of EFG’s Singapore branch, subject to regulatory approval, and Ivan Ferraroni as Head of Global Markets Asia.

As initially announced in its media release of 27 April 2018, EFG International AG intends to repurchase up to six million of its own registered shares. The share buyback programme starts on 27 July 2018 and will last until 30 April 2019 at the latest.

In the first half of 2018, EFG returns to profitable growth amid an ongoing change process, generating positive net asset inflows and increasing underlying profitability through the realisation of targeted cost synergies. EFG continues to deliver on its strategy and to strengthen its competitive market position.

EFG International announced today that it is realigning its executive leadership teams in order to strengthen the focus and responsiveness of the company’s governance structure. EFG International’s Executive Committee will be composed of six members in future. A new Global Business Committee will comprise 13 members, including the heads of EFG’s global regions. EFG’s business in Switzerland, its largest market, is currently divided between two units, which will be combined. The changes take effect on 01 July 2018.

At today’s Annual General Meeting, EFG International’s shareholders approved all proposals made by the Board of Directors, including the management report, the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2017.

In the context of today’s Annual General Meeting, EFG International provides an update on its business performance. In the year to date, EFG saw underlying net new assets grow within its target annualised range of 3-6%, while also continuing to realise operating cost synergies. EFG intends to repurchase shares from the market to fund its employee incentive plans.

EFG International today published its invitation to the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on 27 April 2018.

EFG International today announces that Christian Flemming has been appointed Chief Operating Officer and a Member of the Executive Committee, effective 15 January 2018.
