The National Securities Commission (CNV) has approved the merger of Valo with Columbus, creating a leading entity in the field of corporate finance starting January 1. Norberto Mathys, Vice President and CEO of Valo, and Koni Strazzolini, former partner of Columbus who now joins Valo's board, have emphasized that this union will allow for faster innovation, provide excellent service, and offer more suitable business solutions to clients.
This merger strengthens Valo's market position and enables it to offer a more efficient service, with a highly specialized team in complex transactions. Juan Nápoli, Chairman of Valo, highlights the importance of this step, as Valo, the main custodian bank for investment funds, aims to expand in the investment banking segment with operations like mergers and acquisitions, valuations, and restructurings.
With the merger, Valo becomes the most professional corporate bank with the most comprehensive product offering in the Argentine market. Nápoli claims that they have the people, experience, and clients needed to take a prominent role in the financial market.
Both entities, which are now operating united and integrated, offer a comprehensive coverage of financial services for corporate and institutional clients, providing agile and customized services to meet all needs in the corporate and institutional environment. The synergy between Valo and Columbus is expected to be revolutionary for the financial sector.
