We all are social beings, and the inevitable restrictions on social contacts did not make the past year any easier to bear. I am therefore happy to report that despite this challeng- ing period, our Bank managed to create profit exceeding CZK one billion, successfully launched a bond issue of over CZK 13 billion in volume, and provided funding for several project across the economy. We are pleased that the bond issues offered to investors in previous years have been duly repaid, and that the majority of funds in which our clients invested reported appreciation in the past year. Last year, we also managed to move the Bank’s headquarters to new premises. The Javor building had served us well for 18 years, through a period of dynamic growth during which the Bank grew not only through its balances, but also in the number Štěpán Ašer, MBA of employees, clients and business partners. However, we outgrew these premis- Board Member es. Our new offices at Rustonka will provide a better base for our clients, business and Chief Executive Officer partners and employees, offering modern offices and more meeting rooms, as well as J&T BANKA, a.s. large number of vaults, including a special vault for works of art. Due to the restric- tions stemming from the measures adopted in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak, life in the new premises is still rather humble, but we are already looking forward to meeting you in the new J&T Café or in the Magnus Art Gallery which is part of the premises. The year ahead will be more difficult than the previous ones in many aspects. We are facing a period of heightened insecurity; a period which will see changes in many paradigms. At a macro level, the big question is what the effects of the monetary expansion and the state of public finances will be. For many years, we have been talking about the threat of rising inflation, and we are already noticing some signals in the guise of growth in the prices of stock and real estate. In the real economy, we will also face many insecurities and see many changes. Changes in consumer behaviour will permanently change trade and services. The restrictions during the outbreak have changed the mode of work and many changes will remain and impact the office space market as well as housing requirements. The COVID-19 outbreak has shown us the fragility of suppliers’ relations, and producers will have to think about the means of improving their stability. This may mean relocations or increased stocking up. In our markets, the European Green Deal will play a significant role in the years to come. How can we protect our assets in an increasingly insecure environment? Invest or go down. This is the long and short of our experts’ recommendation on the protection of one’s savings and property. The loss of purchasing power in relation to consumer prices as well as the price of investment assets will present a significant threat in the coming years. In our opinion, the solution is to reduce the volume of interest-earn- ing assets in the family portfolio, and to invest more into assets connected to the real economy. With this advice in mind, we founded the J&T INVESTMENTS SICAV, a.s. Fund last year, as we believe our clients look for more investment opportunities outside the bond market to protect their assets. The fund is built on long-term part- nerships with major companies and entrepreneurs, and invests in real assets in real estate, industry and service segments. The fund should also become a major building block of our clients’ long-term portfolios. 10 PRESENTATION PART J&T BANKA, a. s. I would like to thank you for your trust and cooperation in the past year. Long-term partnerships are one of the main prerequisites of our success. I believe that together, we will be successful in 2021, whether you are looking for investment opportunities to protect your family assets, or whether you need funds for your business development.

    13 Sports Sunday, October 25, 2020 News in brief Photo of the Day Sabalenka wins 12 straight games PRAGUE: Aryna Sabalenka staged a spectacu- lar comeback against Spanish qualifier Sara Sorribes Tormo to reach the semi-finals of the Ostrava Open WTA tournament on Friday. The powerful Belarusian lost the first ten games to a fast, focused Sorribes Tormo and came within a point of losing another. But she miraculously recovered as she suddenly started to find the court with her groundstrokes and went on to take the next 12 games for a 0-6, 6-4, 6-0 win. The day before, the world number 12 had already come back from 5-2 down in the third set against American teenager Coco Gauff. “I just wanted to win at least one game,” said a laughing Sabalenka. “Everything went like I wasn’t on the court. I was out of the game and I didn’t know why.” “Then I cooled down a bit, took one step back and tried to put a little bit more balls back and go through her backhand.” “After I won three games in a row I knew this was a good sign and if I keep going the same way, I’ll find my game. And that’s what happened.” In the semi-final, Sabalenka will take on Jennifer Brady, who beat Veronika Kudermetova 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-1. Sabalenka’s compatriot Viktoria Azarenka swept Elise Mertens in straight sets. The former world number one won 6-4, 6-1 just over a month after trashing Mertens 6-1, 6-0 at the US Open where she reached the final.
