A journey for the enhancement of human relationships and property assets that we will make together with you with care, transparency and professionalism. And through a range of services:
Financial Strategy and Management, Real Estate Investment, Securities Investment, Private Equity and Club Deal.
All with a strongly tailored, human and innovative approach that focuses on results and their maintenance over time.
Through a targeted strategy, we support our clients in managing their wealth and accompany them step by step with appropriate investment solutions to meet their interests and objectives: Securities Investments, VC & Private Equity, Club Deals, Real Estate.
UTurn’s investment strategies are developed in full respect of your history, culture and financial capacity. Every strategy is the result of a careful analysis and study phase, a preliminary stage presenting the main factors of the investment solutions, leading to a planning phase and a fully developed investment project — every step of which we manage, including verification and monitoring.
We share our extensive network and pass on financial know-how and culture to the next generations who will steward the family wealth.
INVESTMENT AREAS
We select the highest value-added platforms and professionals among Wealth Management and Investment Banking counterparts, both at Italian and international level, starting from our clients’ needs. With these counterparts we maintain constant weekly dialogue — and for this reason we remain open to engaging with new counterparts to expand our network and avoid remaining in a comfort zone that would hinder the evolution of the services we offer.
We introduce the concept of fair value cost with counterparts and, through strategic negotiation, we capture the opportunities related to the services or synergies offered by each of them. Our work concludes with a securities asset allocation advisory and monitoring service.
Given our propensity for continuous improvement and our pursuit of a highly personalised service, over the past three years we have tested the service of an SCF (Financial Advisory Company) — specifically IFA Consulting — for the formulation of independent analyses supported by a quantitative/statistical tool for building risk-controlled securities portfolios. Following this period, we decided to become shareholders in order to further validate investment choices in securities markets and to filter and select offerings from financial intermediaries more effectively.
