and brings a wealth of expertise in making investing simpler and more
accessible, which is key to engaging the next generation of investors.
Young people are investing earlier and more actively than previous
generations, driven in part by a growing awareness of the need to secure
their financial future. As their expectations continue to evolve, our
offering must grow with them. Lukas will play a key role in making our
offering intuitive and attractive across all our markets and in helping
more people across Central Europe make the shift from saving to
investing.”
Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said: “Over the past eight years, I’ve seen
firsthand how quickly people’s expectations of investing can change once
you make it simple, transparent, and accessible. Erste Group has something
few institutions in this space can match: direct, trusted relationships
with 23 million customers and one of Europe’s most-used banking platforms
in George. I’m excited to bring that experience together with Erste’s
scale and regional reach to build the leading investment offering in
Central and Eastern Europe.”
