Generali’s Results Prove It Has Right Strategy, Says Chairman
Generali became a target of speculation recently when Italian businessman Leonardo Del Vecchio blamed the insurer’s CEO and his counterpart at Mediobanca for Generali’s poor share price performance compared to peers, sources said.
Mediobanca, one of Italy’s leading investment banks, is Generali’s main shareholder with a stake of 13%.
Del Vecchio, who owns just under 5% of Generali, has criticized strategy at Mediobanca where he recently raised his stake to almost 7% to become its third-biggest investor.
