Why are Croatian investment funds, rather than Slovenian ones, significant owners of companies in Slovenia?

Dear Members of AmCham Slovenia,

The AmCham Finance Committee, in collaboration with the Slovenian Investment Fund Association
(ZDU GIZ) and the Bank Association of Slovenia, invites you to the AmCham Business Breakfast.
Join us as we discuss the importance of developing the Slovenian capital market as a key driver of economic growth and social welfare.

Together, we will address crucial topics and seek concrete answers, including:

Why are Croatian investment funds, rather than Slovenian ones, significant owners of companies in Slovenia?

Topics:

What are the strategic priorities for strengthening Slovenia’s capital market, and why is financial literacy a key building block?
How can bonds expand the offering on the capital market?
How do banks and investment funds foster the development of the domestic capital market?
How could pension reform enhance capital market dynamics?
How do regulation and business environment impact trust and capital market development? What international practices could serve as models for the Slovenian system?
How to increase the visibility and attractiveness of investment opportunities on the regulated market managed by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange for both domestic and international investors?
How many Slovenian private companies show sufficient maturity and interest to enter the capital market through an initial public offering (IPO)?

Ajša Vodnik, CEO of AmCham Slovenia and Chair of AmChams in Europe, and Katarina Matejčič, business consultant will engage in a discussion with esteemed guests.

The event will take place on Friday, March 21, 2025, at Best Western Premier Hotel Slon, Slovenska cesta 34, 1000 Ljubljana, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM.
