Exor, the financial institution at the heart ofAgnelli empire, has decided to adopt the Tamburi model. The holding, anticipated John Elkann in an interview with the Financial Times, intends to start a series of purchases of minority shares in small and medium-sized Italian companies according to the successful model developed by Giovanni Tamburi's Tip, which the year last year had already aroused the interest of Warren Buffett and who has just closed the 2016 financial statements with over 80 million in profit: companies with a strong vocation for exports, with solid and determined management or ownership and a well-defined growth project. Elkann cites Eataly, Moncler and Technogym as examples.
Exor, on the eve of the quarterly accounts, thus intends to return to invest in Italy but with a different attitude than in the past when Fiat's footprint on the Italian economy was the sign of a hegemony that belongs to the past, underlines Elkann himself. "The historical perception of Fiat has now changed in Italy," said the lawyer's heir. Exor can play an important role in favoring the debut and take-off of medium-sized companies on the American market, Elkann underlines.
