The changes in the life of SIF4 Muntenia, which occurred this year, bode well, considers Gabriel Filimon, chairman of SAI Muntenia Invest, the manager of SIF4.

Even though some of the shareholders of the SIF have formed an alliance and have made it their goal to change the director, Gabriel Filimon considers that the SAI brings great benefits to the company and it should not be destroyed. "It can be restructured, it can be refreshed with young people, there can be partnerships with well-known foreign management companies", Mr. Filimon said, in an interview.

At the General Shareholder Meeting of the month of April, a group of shareholders, rallied around businessman Gheorghe Iaciu (who owns 5% of the shares of SIF4), have asked for a greater dividend and have gotten into an argument with the management of the SIF. In the month of July, the "revolutionary" shareholders have put in place a new Board of Representatives, in a marathon General Shareholder Meeting, which lasted 33 hours, and Olimpiu Blăjuţ was appointed as chairman. The Board of Representatives in question has repeatedly expressed its wish for SAI Muntenia Invest to stop managing SIF4, but, meanwhile, the decisions of the General Shareholder Meeting of July have been suspended by way of a court ruling. SAI Muntenia considers that the CRA which existed prior to July, led by Dinu Marian, has now resumed its mandate, while Olimpiu Blăjuţ announced in a press release, that the ruling of the court does not produce effects.

Although he has been accused of "siphoning off" the funds of the SIF, Gabriel Filimon says that those claims must be proven. Despite the attacks from all sides, the CEO of SAI Muntenia claims that he does not consider himself as being at war with anybody.

The statement doesn't seem exaggerated at all, considering that SAI Muntenia Invest is still the manager of SIF Mun
