We select platforms and professionals with the highest added value among Wealth Management and Investment Banking counterparts, both in Italy and internationally, starting from our clients’ needs. We maintain constant, weekly dialogue with these counterparts, while remaining open to new relationships to expand our network and avoid getting stuck in a comfort zone that would hinder the evolution of our services.
We introduce the concept of fair-value costs with our counterparts and, through strategic negotiation, seize opportunities related to services or synergies offered by each of them. Our work concludes with advisory services and ongoing monitoring of the financial asset allocation.
Driven by a strong focus on continuous improvement and the pursuit of highly personalised services, over the past three years, we have tested the services of an SCF (Independent Financial Advisory Firm), specifically IFA Consulting, for the development of independent analyses supported by quantitative and statistical tools for risk-controlled portfolio construction. Following this period, we decided to become shareholders to further strengthen investment decisions in financial markets and to improve the filtering and selection of proposals from financial intermediaries.
