  • FDI ERSTE Equity Romania in Anul 2017
    Raport privind activitatea FDI ERSTE Equity Romania in anul 2017 Draga cititorule, Erste Asset Management a elaborat in anul 2016 primul studiu din Romania, cu focus pe fondurile de investitii. Concluziile principale ale studiului Erste Asset Management releva faptul ca protectia financiara este principalul motiv pentru care romanii plaseaza bani in fondurile de investitii. Studiul releva ca pentru romani nevoia de protectie financiara este in stransa legatura cu dorinta de a avea un suport in momente neprevazute sau dificile, mai degraba decat grija fata de viitor. Mitul gresit al sumei mari de bani necesare pentru a investi, alaturi de perceptia blocarii banilor pentru o perioada lunga de timp sunt principalele bariere in calea neparticiparii intr-un fond de investitii. Despre Fondurile de Investitii s-au spus multe: ca sunt complicate, ca nu sunt pentru oricine. Putini romani, sub 5% din populatia activa a tarii, se numara printre cei care stiu exact ce este un Fond de Investitii sau cum functioneaza el. De aceea, in a doua jumatate a anului 2016 am gandit un program de educatie financiara “Romania Investeste” in care am cautat sa explicam fiecare termen, fiecare produs, fiecare mit, astfel oricine sa poata decide singur daca investitiile sunt potrivite, cand si in ce sa investeasca. Am inceput cu pagina de Facebook si apoi am lansat, la finele anului 2017, platforma www.romaniainvesteste.ro Majoritatea activitatilor desfasurate in decursul anului 2017 au fost concentrate pe educatie financiara. Astfel, am fost prezenti la evenimente precum „Emerging Funding for the Real Economy”, „Asociati in afaceri”, „Expertii alaturi de dumneavoastra”, „Banii Tai Expo 2017”, am dezvoltat parteneriatele cu cluburile de investitori din intreaga tara si am sustinut prelegeri si sesiuni stiintifice la facultatile economice din cadrul centrelor universitare: Bucuresti, Cluj, Craiova, Iasi si Oradea.

  • Romania: Property Management Fund FP to Sell Its Stake in Transelectrica
    Romania: Property management fund FP to sell its stake in Transelectrica Fondul Proprietatea (FP) will sell its entire stake held in Transelectrica using the same method of accelerated private placement, through which has sold important packages of securities from its portfolio. Franklin Templeton is in an accelerated campaign to sell its assets. A “de facto” end of FP is gaining speed. Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom, Bucharest Branch, as Sole Administrator of FP, “wishes to inform shareholders and investors of its intention” to sell a total of 9,895,212 shares to which it currently holds Transelectrica (TEL) Stock Exchange (BSE). The package consists of 13.499% of the company and is everything that FP has in the national transport operator for electricity. The sale will be made through an accelerated private placement offering, addressed only to certain investors. Raiffeisen Bank and UniCredit will act as Joint Global Co-ordinators and Joint Bookrunners (“bookrunners”). SSIF Broker Cluj Napoca will act as Joint Lead Manager. A further announcement will be made on completion of the placement and pricing of private placement. Soon, the transfers of assets from FP to its shareholders will reach one billion euro, a quarter of the money the Government boast almost 10 years ago, that he would give through the Fund to owners of properties confiscated by the communist regime before 1990. The difference with the plan agreed 10 years ago is that the wealth of FP will not reach most of the owners affected, but to big U.S. venture investment funds and institutional investors who are shareholders of FP in Romania.
