Giorgio Pradelli, CEO of EFG International, said: “I am pleased that this agreement has been reached with the management of A&G. The management buy-out ensures continuity for A&G’s clients and will enable us to focus fully on our core international private banking and asset management business, driving further profitable growth in our core markets.”

I very much look forward to shaping the successful future of A&G together with the whole management team.”
