Yuri Soloviev,
President and Global CEO of VTB Capital
Ladies and Gentlemen,
VTB Group took the strategic decision to create an investment arm to its business, with the aim of becoming the leader on the investment banking services market in both Russia and the CIS. In spite of the global crisis there we observe stable demand for investment products.
A. L. Kostin, the President of VTB and its Chairman of the Board, commented that “when we held the IPO, we said that one of our main priorities was to create a structure specializing in investment banking services in Russia and the CIS. We see great potential in this area. I am positive that VTB has the opportunity to become the new national leader in the investment business.”
We shall make every effort to solve the tasks facing us. In particular, we intend to create, under the VTB brand, a key market player and reliable investment business partner in the Russian and international markets. And I am pleased to say that VTB Group’s Investment Business has a vital asset: its team of world-class professionals. Without them and their many years’ experience working in the Russian and international markets, we would not be able to achieve our goals.
Our main ambition is to ensure that our clients have access to top-quality products and services.
VTB Capital, Investment Business, focuses on arranging operations in debt and equity markets, developing private investment, as well as operations on the global commodities markets and asset management and advising clients on ECM and M&A deals in Russia and abroad.
The unique position that VTB Capital - VTB Group’s Investment Business arm occupies in the Russian market means that we can offer financing and investment solutions of the very highest quality as well as unique terms and conditions, not to mention all the other advantages of dealing with one of the largest banks in Eastern Europe.
