Capital and expertise, at the origin of Italian entrepreneurial value.
We combine private and institutional capital with best-in-class industrial and financial expertise to create sustainable value and strengthen the Italian entrepreneurial ecosystem and its international growth.
A Platform to Access Italy's Private Markets.
Origine is building a multi-asset investment platform dedicated to the private markets, already active in the Private Equity and Venture Capital asset classes and developing and consolidating its presence across further complementary asset classes. Origine SGR combines management excellence, rigorous governance and industrial expertise, with the aim of supporting the growth of the real economy and generating sustainable returns over time.
Investment Teams' Expertise
An independent investment team for every vertical in which the SGR operates, with unique and distinctive expertise and a full, exclusive focus on managing transactions and identifying strategic opportunities, with no other duties in the management of the SGR but with all of its support.
Origination
Thanks to the investment team's deep knowledge of the asset classes and industrial verticals in which the SGR invests through its funds, and to its institutional and entrepreneurial network, Origine is able to identify and promote proprietary investment opportunities grounded in sound strategic and industrial rationale.
Asset management
Origine's strength lies in the close collaboration between its investment teams and its Operating Partners and Senior Advisors, who support the teams in identifying opportunities and creating value across the entire investment cycle, bringing operational expertise, strategic vision and privileged access to top-tier industrial relationships.
International standards, Italian roots.
Inspired by established models within leading international investment groups, Origine is building a multi-asset platform that integrates centralised governance, access to proprietary opportunities and the specialist expertise of its various investment teams.
An approach that creates economies of scale, supports the definition of tailored strategies and makes it possible to capture distinctive opportunities across different market segments.
Origine was therefore established to operate as a unified investment platform for Italian institutional and private capital, working to international standards while maintaining strong roots in the specific features and needs of the country.
