The Quantitative Investments team is made up of portfolio managers with quantitative expertise who develop models and implement them.

Moreover, the team conducts research to develop new models considering new trends coming from the industry and the academic literature. The team is structured into Systematic Strategies, Solution Engineering and Long-Term Sustainable Strategies which, in particular, manages portfolios based on financial sustainability or ESG approach and monitors issuers with respect to ESG and SRI themes.

The Investment Solutions team, which develops and manages multi-asset and multi-strategy investment solutions, is responsible for both institutional and individual asset management and the selection and management of multi-manager funds.
Multi-asset and multi-strategy portfolios provide diversification across macro asset classes — with flexible or benchmark-oriented approaches, based on macroeconomic, market, and individual instrument analyses — taking advantage of internal and external expertise, quantitative models for optimization and risk budgeting, and overlay strategies for hedging and improving the risk/return profile.
Institutional and individual asset management services make investment decisions for their respective assets, define and implement portfolios consistent with deliberate strategies and mandate limits, monitor returns against benchmarks/objectives, verify risk/return profiles and leverage, and identify short-term opportunities.
Multi-manager solutions include fund-selection-based product management, with tactical and strategic allocations supported by quantitative models, screening, and due diligence on third-party asset manager strategies.
The team is led by Claudio Marchetti

The Equity Research & Portfolio Management team brings together experienced portfolio managers and analysts with deep sectoral and geographical expertise. Investment strategies are actively managed through a disciplined process that combines top-down analysis of the global macroeconomic cycle with bottom-up research into the fundamentals of listed companies.
By rigorously evaluating individual businesses, the team identifies the most compelling opportunities in terms of valuation and earnings growth potential. This process is supported by proprietary fundamental analysis models, complemented by high-quality external research.

The team is led by Francesco Sedati.

The Fixed Income & FX team is composed of portfolio managers and analysts specialized on issuer and financial instrument type (money markets, government bonds, emerging markets bonds, corporate bonds and currencies).
Fixed income funds follow an approach that combines top-down and bottom-up analyses.
The investment process of government bonds products is typically top-down, that is based on the analysis of valuation models aggregated for market typology and based on the expected course of economic cycle, interest rates and inflation. Allocation decisions in terms of portfolio duration, exposure to single countries and various maturities of the yield curve derive from these analyses.
The investment process of non government bonds products combines the economic cycle analysis (top-down approach) to the in-depth study of single companies (bottom-up approach), with the aim of assessing issuers’ credit risk.
The team is led by Paolo Bernardelli.

The Credit Strategies team is broken down into the Investment Grade & PIR, High Income, Structured Credits, and Global Mandates structures. It is composed of professionals with many years of expertise in the individual global credit market segments. In the performance of its activities, this structure leverages market, sector, and issuer and instrument-specific analysis skills, using proprietary software and models alongside the main tools and platforms in the relevant markets.
The team is led by Massimo Spadotto.

The Responsible Investments & Stewardship team is tasked with the diffusion and implementation of Socially Responsible Investments (SRI), promoting the integration of Environmental Social and Governance factors (ESG) into the investment process, and is responsible for the development and implementation of company ESG and SRI policies and guidelines, as well as for the correct running of all the related operational processes, in coordination with both the Company’s internal functions and with the competent Group functions.
The team supervises the correct and efficient conduct of activities tied to the exercise of voting rights for the shareholdings pertaining to the assets managed by the Company, and guarantees engagement with relevant issuers on corporate governance, environmental and social themes.
The team is led by Alessandro Solina.

The structure coordinates macroeconomic and market analysis, proposes the reference macro scenario, and supports portfolio management teams in implementing investment guidelines, tactical decisions and portfolio asset allocations.
