Opportunities presented by these products include: • Unlimited leveraged participation as long as market fluctuations are in line with the investor’s market expectations • Alternative leveraged instrument to the direct investment in the underlying asset • Strong responsiveness to market fluctuations: through the leverage effect investors may proportionally take part in the financial performance without obligation to buy the underlying asset directly Vontobel Investment Banking Bleicherweg 21 Phone number +41 (0)58 283 59 00 CH-8022 Zürich Media +41 (0)58 283 59 30 Seite 2/2 • Flexible use for traders in order to open long leveraged positions as well as portfolio hedging strategies • Enhance investor’s portfolio with tactical focus on market opportunities • Maximum loss limited to the invested capital • Medium/Long-Term investment: Covered Warrants have an average life from 3 to 24 months • Vontobel as Market Maker provides liquidity on SeDeX of Borsa Italiana from 9.05 AM to 5:30 PM Vontobel is the issuer with the widest range of Constant Leverage Certificates in Italy and also offers one of the most restrained spreads of the market.

  • Methodology of Comparison 2013
    METHODOLOGY OF COMPARISON 2013 Comparative Analysis of Sustainability Performance Methodological Remarks Convinced that a comparison of environmental, social and governance performance is of interest, not only to the Company itself, but also to its stakeholders, certain comparisons between Terna’s results and those of other com- panies are included in the 2013 Sustainability Report, as was the case in the preceding three years. Listed below are the main criteria adopted in the analysis, as an introduction to the reading and interpretation of the comparisons of individual indicators in the Report: • three panels of companies were identified: an industry panel, composed of the European transmission system operators and the major extra-European operators in terms of kilometres of lines managed; and two multi- industry panels, the first relative to large Italian companies (the 40 companies of the FTSE-MIB at 18 December 2013) and the second relative to the best international performers (the 24 world Sustainability Industry Group Leaders, identified by the RobecoSAM sustainability rating agency and disclosed at the publishing of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index of September 2013). The purpose of the three panels is to guarantee, also relative to the type of indicator reviewed, a comparison between companies with the same operational characteristics, an Italian comparison, and a comparison with the top international performers. The Terna figures do not contribute to the calculation of the average in the case of the RobecoSAM – Supersector Leaders panel; • the companies considered from among those in the three panels were those which publicise the information necessary for comparisons either on their websites, through the Sustainability Report (even if not prepared following the GRI guidelines) or through other documentation (HSE Report, financial report, etc.).

  • An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market
    http://ijba.sciedupress.com International Journal of Business Administration Vol. 9, No. 2; 2018 An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market Paola Fandella1 1 Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy Correspondence: Paola Fandella, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy. Received: January 15, 2018 Accepted: February 6, 2018 Online Published: February 8, 2018 doi:10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 Abstract Corporate reports issued by various financial intermediaries play a major role in investment decisions. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to understand the accuracy of the forecasts, by carrying out an empirical analysis of the "equity research" system in Italy, identifying structural features, degree of reliability and incidence in the market. The choice of the analysis of the efficiency level information on the Italian market proposes to assess the interest of equity research of a niche market (339 listed companies in 2017) but with characteristics of potential growth such as having been acquired by LSEGroup in 2007, the 6th stock-exchange group at international level for the number of listed companies and the 4th for capitalization. The analysis was carried out on the reports issued on companies belonging to the Ftse Mib stock index during a period of 5 years. It aims to analyse the composition of the equity research system in Italy as well as the analysts' ability to properly evaluate the stocks' fair price, so as to test their degree of reliability and detect possible anomalies in recommendations to the investors.

  • Comparison Methodology
    COMPARISON METHODOLOGY Comparative Analysis of Sustainability Performance Convinced that a comparison of environmental, social and governance performance is of interest, not only to the Company itself, but also to its stakeholders, certain comparisons between Terna’s results and those of other companies are included in the 2015 Sustainability Report, as was the case in previous years. The comparative sustainability indicators regard the following themes: CO2 emissions, SF6 leakage incidence rate, hours of training per capita provided to employees and the turnover rate on termination of personnel. Listed below are the main criteria adopted in the analysis, as an introduction to the reading and interpretation of the comparisons of individual indicators in the Report: • three panels of companies were identified: the first was composed of the European transmission system operators and the major non-European operators in terms of kilometres of lines managed; the second, multi-sectoral in nature, is made up of large Italian companies (the 40 listed companies of the FTSE MIB at 31/12/2015); the third formed by the best international performers in the “Electric Utilities - ELC” sector (identified by the RobecoSAM sustainability rating agency and included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index of September 2015). The purpose of the three panels is to guarantee, also relative to the type of indicator reviewed, a comparison between companies with the same operational characteristics, an Italian comparison, and a comparison with top international performers in the same sector; • the companies considered from among those in the three panels were those which publicise the information necessary for comparisons either on their websites, through the Sustainability Report (even if not prepared following the GRI guidelines) or through other documentation (HSE Report, Financial Report, etc.).

  • Introduction of “Split Payment” Regulations for RCC Service Invoices
    Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 Introduction of “Split Payment” regulations for RCC service invoices For the attention of: Intermediaries Priority: High Re: Invoicing of RCC charges Dear Client, Please note that following the publication of the Ministry of Economy and Finance Decree of 13 July 2017 in Official Gazette No. 171 of 24 July 2017, which amends the implementing regulations for the splitting of payments for VAT purposes (Article 17-ter, Presidential Decree No. 633/1972) in invoices payable as of 1 July 2017, the RCC fees invoicing application for issuer companies included in the list of listed companies in the FTSE MIB Index published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (link) must be adapted to the new provisions. The Monte Titoli application is currently in the process of modification and therefore data indicated in the invoicing documentation issued by intermediaries to the issuers concerned (see the list below) in the period 1 July - 10 August is not consistent with the instructions in the Decree. Pending the adaption of the application, and in order to avoid issuing incorrect documents, the invoice request function has been temporarily suspended exclusively for sums due from Issuers to which the aforementioned Decree applies. It should be recalled that the RCC application allows the recovery of sums in suspension without time limits. Monte Titoli shall promptly inform clients by means of Market Notice when the application has been adapted. 1 Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 We apologise for this temporary inconvenience.
