Private Equity

Avviso di rischio

Gli investimenti comportano dei rischi. Il valore degli investimenti e il reddito da essi generato possono aumentare così come diminuire e gli investitori potrebbero non recuperare per intero l’importo inizialmente investito. Le performance passate non sono indicative dei risultati futuri.

Ai clienti siamo in grado di offrire una vastissima gamma di soluzioni nel private equity, avendo raccolto capitali per oltre 100 veicoli, sostenuto più di 500 general partner (GP) e assunto impegni in oltre 1.000 fondi.

Cosa offriamo ai clienti

Investimenti secondari

Gli investimenti secondari comportano la compravendita di impegni preesistenti in fondi di private equity. Siamo ben posizionati e attivi nel mercato secondario, dove le nostre profonde relazioni, la solida reputazione e la nostra rete di intermediari ci assicurano un netto vantaggio e ci permettono di offrire ai clienti un eccellente accesso a questo mercato. 

Co-investimenti

I co-investimenti nel private equity, o investimenti diretti, sono investimenti effettuati direttamente in società a fianco di un altro GP. Il co-investimento comporta numerosi vantaggi, tra cui la possibilità di acquisire un'esposizione a opportunità che riteniamo appetibili, evitando nel contempo una parte di commissioni. Anche in questo caso, le nostre relazioni solide e di lunga data con i GP, unite a una comprovata esperienza, ci consentono di essere protagonisti leader in questo segmento di mercato. 

Fondo comune d'investimento

 L'obiettivo d'investimento è conseguire un rendimento complessivo a lungo termine attraverso un portafoglio diversificato di fondi di private equity e investimenti diretti in società di capitali non quotate oltreché in gestori di private equity (co-investimenti), che siano per la maggior parte orientati al mercato europeo.
