For its size, Ficohsa has a remarkably large investor relations team. 

The bank’s chief executive, Camilo Atala, has evolved working practices and a structure that place the IR function at the core of its various operations, working directly not only with investors and analysts but also private banking clients.

“We are lucky to have a very strong IR team,” he says. “Our company values the importance that our investors have on the continued growth of the bank and we understand that we rely on a strong relationship with them to remain profitable into the future. Thanks to our IR team, we are able to maintain open and transparent connections [with stakeholders].”
