Giorgio Pradelli, CEO of EFG International, commented: “We have achieved a promising start to the year with strong financial performance and increased client momentum, resulting in a significant acceleration of net asset inflows. Our annualised net new asset growth rate of 7.6% is above our target range and was driven in large part by the CROs we hired in 2023. This demonstrates that the strategic investments we made last year are already bearing fruit and positioning us for future growth. We have also delivered robust top-line results due to our increased assets under management, as well as higher levels of client activity. At the same time, we maintain a disciplined approach to costs and pursue targeted efficiency measures, while we are continuing to invest in our future growth and in further building the EFG brand. Our strategy has been effective and we will continue to work towards our 2025 ambition of sustaining profitable growth and achieving scale.”
