The Swiss firm's AGM saw shareholders approve a dividend hike for 2025 and re-election of its board of directors for one year, including chairman Alexander Classen.

Late last week, EFG International announced that shareholders had approved all motions from its board of directors at the annual general meeting, including a motion to pay SFr0.65 ($0.82) per share in a dividend.

The dividend will be paid out of reserves from capital contributions which, as previously announced, is up 8 per cent from the 2025 level.

The payment of the cash distribution is scheduled for 30 March 2026.

Alexander Classen was re-elected as board chairman for a further one-year term. All other members of the board – Yvonne Bettkober, Emmanuel L Bussetil, Boris F J Collardi, Luisa Delgado, Wanda Eriksen, Roberto Isolani, John S Latsis, Maria Leistner, Philip J Lofts, Carlo M Lombardini and Konstantinos Tsiveriotis – were re-elected for a further one-year term of office ending at the conclusion of the next AGM.

In February, EFG International reported a net profit under IFRS accounting standards of SFr325.2 million for 2025, rising 1 per cent on a year earlier. Operating profit rose by 26 per cent year-on-year to SFr493.1 million, which the group said was “driven by strong operating performance with disciplined execution throughout the year.”
