tags:PRU,AON,PFG,AIG,TOP,

One upshot of the global equities selloff is that Italy has a new biggest company by market value.

Intesa Sanpaolo SpA shares have resisted the recent market rout, helped by Chief Executive Officer Carlo Messina’s announcement of a new 2018-2021 strategy that’s based on generous dividends and expansion in insurance and wealth management. The lender’s market capitalization of 53.3 billion euros ($66 billion) now exceeds oil giant Eni SpA’s 50.2 billion euros.
