Intesa Sanpaolo: a Successful Wealth Management and Protection Company

30th September 2021 - “Intesa Sanpaolo: a Successful Wealth Management & Protection Company” event

Over the past two years, we have seen a sharp build-up in savings due to the drop in consumption and the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, concentrated mainly in the higher income brackets. Much of the increase in savings is held in liquid assets, and the change in household current account deposits in the first eight months of 2021 was greater than in the same period in 2020; it is estimated that the propensity to save may return to pre-Covid levels in 2023. The business opportunities for the various components of Wealth Management, therefore, are numerous and must take into account the ongoing processes of digitalisation and the evolution of demand, which is increasingly sensitive to ESG, climate protection and health issues.

We provide customers of the Group’s network banks with valuable solutions to transform savings into investments and risk into protection. Thanks to the bancassurance model, we identify the best investment opportunities for customers and together we build the ideal protection solution with modular products that can adapt over time, based on actual insurance needs at various stages in life, both personal and business. Digital transformation and the promotion of an insurance culture in Italy are two of the various ongoing projects that distinguish our capacity for innovation.

We are enjoying significant growth both in Italy – where we have a leadership position – and abroad, where we are achieving good results from our presence in various European countries and in Asia. In a scenario of abundant liquidity and low rates, it is essential to direct available savings towards diversified, professionally-managed investment solutions, which can also channel resources to support the real economy. We at Eurizon are continuously striving to create new solutions that meet the needs of our clients to enhance the long-term growth of their investments, while respecting ESG sustainability criteria.
