Pietro Giuliani, Chairman of the Azimut Group, was satisfied, stating:
“Our capacity for growth has been able to strengthen even amidst the complexities of 2020, allowing for the presentation to Shareholders of the best profit in our history amounting to €382 million and the payment, once again this year, of a dividend of €1 per share. The support of Shareholders, reaffirmed today with the favourable outcome of all the items put to the Shareholders’ Meeting, together with the positive performance of the first quarter, marked by net inflows of 9.4 billion and a weighted average net customer performance of +4%, will further encourage us to face the months ahead with determination.”
