History
[edit]Migdal was founded in Jerusalem in 1934. The original group of investors included local Palestinian Jews, families from Egypt and Italy and the Italian insurance company Assicurazioni Generali which held a 50% stake and provided the original financial and professional backing.
Generali eventually held 70% of Migdal's shares, and Bank Leumi owns almost 10%.
In September 1996, Migdal made its initial public offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, selling 20% shares stake.
In March 2012 Assicurazioni Generali sold Migdal to Shlomo Eliahu.[1]
