To conclude, I strongly believe that our major financial services businesses are geared to deliver ongoing growth, and more than ever before, our executive team continue to focus on customer and shareholder value. The outlook for the rest of the year is extremely positive.
Patricia Carboni, CEO
First, with the completion in September of our acquisition of the Reinhardt Group, we have now become a truly international financial services business.
It continues to build on its strategic alliances and is set to acquire ARP Bank.
Moreover, we have also demonstrated our determination to gain a greater international presence by launching last month a 50$ million tender offer for Norbert, one of the largest French asset management corporations.
Second, Kronex, our 55% owned banking subsidiary, maintained its outstanding track record.
Successful completion of this transaction will dramatically diversify our earnings and will double our global assets under management, ranking Grandico among the top 20 fund managers in the world.
