Franchetti S.p.A. has been included in the Intermonte Valore Italia Index

Arzignano (VI), 2 July 2026

Franchetti S.p.A. (BIT ticker: FCH), a multinational specialising in advanced diagnostic solutions, digitalisation and predictive maintenance of infrastructure, is proud to announce that it has been selected as one of the 100 companies listed on the Borsa Italiana that make up the Intermonte Valore Italia Index, which is dedicated to SMEs with a market capitalisation of less than one billion euros and not included in the FTSE MIB.

The Index was created with the aim of promoting the universe of listed Italian small and medium-sized enterprises, establishing a meeting point between entrepreneurship, the capital markets and the national economy. It helps to broaden and diversify investment opportunities compared with traditional indices, offering domestic and international investors representative exposure to Italian entrepreneurial excellence.

Companies are selected on the basis of rigorous technical and financial criteria, designed to ensure adequate levels of liquidity, transparency and investability, including: minimum free float, sound governance standards, analyst coverage, financial sustainability and debt levels, as well as representativeness within the Index itself.

The Index forms part of PMI2Change, Banca Generali’s innovative project launched on 1 July 2026 at Borsa Italiana’s Palazzo Mezzanotte, which aims to support the growth and competitiveness of Italian entrepreneurs by fostering the development of listed domestic SMEs. The project tackles the issue of limited liquidity and valuation of listed SMEs, helping to create the best conditions for a more efficient match between capital and businesses.

The initiative builds on the expertise of Intermonte, a leading Italian player in the sector with over thirty years’ experience in the financial markets, particularly in SME research, sales & trading, market making and investment banking – an integral part of the Banca Generali Group since the start of 2025.

Building on the Index, Banca Generali, together with Investlinx and Intermonte, has launched a new actively managed, PIR-compliant ETF that will invest primarily in the universe defined by the Index itself. Banca Generali has committed to supporting the launch of the fund with an initial capital inflow of €100 million in the first few months, with a gradual increase in exposure to reach €500 million in the medium term. It is therefore estimated that the initiative could help generate new investment inflows of €1–2 million per day, representing over 5% of the Index’s free float.

"We are proud to be included in the Intermonte Valore Italia Index. This selection represents a significant recognition of the growth trajectory we have built up over the years and confirms the strength of our business model. Being part of an initiative that showcases Italian entrepreneurial excellence and facilitates connections between companies and investors provides us with further motivation to continue on our path of development, both in Italy and on international markets", commented Paolo Franchetti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Franchetti S.p.A.
