Itau Private Sponsors Tournament in the United States

Competition will gather the best tennis players from over 35 countries 


SAO PAULO, April 3  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- This month, Florida will host one of the five main tennis events of the world, the Sony Ericsson Open.  Itau Private Bank International is once again present at the competition, this time as host sponsor, and will provide its clients with a privileged view of the main court during the 12 game days. The 25th edition of the event at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne, Florida, will convene 153 of the best players of both genders from more than 35 countries.

"The sponsorship has the goal of strengthening our image among Latin American families who are very interested in the tournament, and is in line with the commitment to make Itau Private Bank one of the three largest in the sector in Latin America," said Flavio Souza, director of Itau Private Bank in Miami. The games on the traditional purple tennis courts will be followed by some 260,000 spectators and will be broadcast to over 200 countries through the TV channels FOX Sports, ESPN International, SKY, Eurosport and Globosat.

Itau is a Brazilian bank, one of the largest in Latin America. The operations in Miami contribute to the consolidation of the internationalization strategy of Itau Private Bank. The acquisition of the private bank operations of BankBoston International (BBI), with main office in Miami; BankBoston Trust Company Limited (BBT), with main offices in Nassau; and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (Miami and Montevideo), in 2007, were important business drivers, making Itau Private Bank one of the leaders in the region. A good part of the 9,000 clients were acquired through the acquisition of the operations of BankBoston and ABN AMRO proceeds from other Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela. In order to meet their requirements for information and recommendations, Itau Private Bank established a specialized structure in those countries.
