There is an agreement for the stabilization fund of the Italian banking system. The fund “Atlas”, with a dowry of up to 6 billion (the debt), which shall be implemented on the shares (if any) discovered the next capital increases and later purchase the securities resulting from the securitization of non-performing loans. That significant innovations, should be transferred to a basically in line with that load banks, and thus far from the prices currently in circulation on the market.
The formal start of fondoè expected in the coming days. But yesterday, in the course of three meetings that were held at the MEF, it has defined the architecture of the project and the likely scope of subscribers: the main insurance companies (from which we expect a billion), Foundations (500 million) and especially banks, from which will come 3,000,000,000 (one billion contributed by Intesa and UniCredit, the third of the other but not of Mediobanca, which is called out). They should then add the CDP, with a figure of five million to 600 million, and with a similar amount of the SGA, the Society for the management of assets, that is, the public company created in 1997 for the rescue of the Banco di Napoli, which in just over 15 years it has managed to recover 85% of defaulted loans at the Institute of via Toledo, ended today in Intesa Sanpaolo. The Sgr called upon to manage the fund will Quaestio Capital Management SGR, led by Alessandro Penati, which belongs to 37.6% at the Cariplo Foundation.
These elements, which will put pen to paper on a complete dossier promised to all potential subscribers is expected to continue today. But yesterday, it was said, the broad outlines of the project were defined, to which you would be working with two advisors (Bofa BerrillLynch and Bonelli Heir) for about a month in Rome, Brussels and Frankfurt, given the necessary guarantees to the European Commission and ECB . The intense day yesterday opened the morning with a first summit between the Minister Padoan, Governor Ignazio Visco and vice general of Via Nazionale, Fabio Panetta, the CEO of Intesa, UniCredit and Ubi, the president and CEO of CDP Claudio Costamagna and Fabio Gallia, Marco Morelli of Bofa and representatives of Bonelli Heir; defined the scheme, at 14 was presented to representatives of the major insurance companies (including Poste Vita, as well as General, UnipolSai and Catholic), while at 18 it was the turn of the CEO of the first 13 Italian banks, ie all major up to CreVal, including foreign present in Italy but not Mediobanca nor the four banks which, because of increases in place, or closer monitoring of the ECB, probably will not contribute to the fund: Popular Vicenza, Veneto Banca Carige and Mps. To all those present were asked to determine the ownership interest in a few days, or at least in time for the recapitalization of the popular Vicenza, which will start rising next Monday: examined the material, it is likely that banks, insurance and foundations convene within the week their organs to take the necessary decisions.
As mentioned, the fund will be called Atlas and will be an alternative investment Fund. Goal, announces a statement issued last night by Quaestio Sgr, support the recapitalization of Italian banks and facilitate the sale of the system suffering: “Following meetings with a large number of institutional investors, banks, insurance, banking foundations and CDP – you the statement – Quaestio has reached an important number of participants to launch the Atlas Fund. ” The purpose is explicit, it is’ to ensure the success of the capital required by the Authority Supervisory increases in banks today are facing objective market difficulties, acting as a back-stop facility “. In practice, the fund will in the final stage of the order collection, in the case in which dell’inoptato profiles; However, one would have said yesterday, the very presence of the fund Atlas could radically change the perception of the increases on the market, even reducing to zero the amount of unexercised options. You’ll see.
The second objective is the suffering: Atlas “will concentrate its investments on the junior tranche of securitization vehicles, being able to rely on those with greater seniority for which there is a clear interest on the part of investors. ” Basically, as anticipated in recent days by Il Sole 24 Ore, the fund will intervene downstream of securitization, which will make use of government guarantees for senior tranches (the Gacs) and should be of higher prices than those currently charged by the market , ie in line with the book value of the banks.
And the returns? Atlas’ wants to generate benefits not only for investors in the Fund, offering attractive returns given the current rate scenario, and the ability to take advantage of the bank stocks can increase in value and the ongoing recovery of the housing market. ” This for now, more details in the coming days.
