Alternative investments industry in Italy

The objective of this white paper is to investigate the dynamics underlying alternative asset classes in Italy and how the Covid-19 crisis, technology, and ESG trends are impacting them. The currently unexploited potential identified through this research shall be taken into consideration by investors and market players who seek attractive returns since the growth on the alternatives is expected to continue.

Discover our latest analysis of alternative asset classes in Italy. The white paper focuses on the most robust alternative investment sectors: private equity, private debt and real estate. It also evaluates each asset class in light of the increasing influence of ESG investing, technological change, and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The current environment has generated critical growth opportunities for the alternatives industry. Turnaround funds have the chance to exploit the liquidity crises of many companies and profit from an effective reorganization of businesses and improving economic conditions. Advancements in technology, especially tokenization, could open the door to retail investors, generating a significant inflow of liquidity into the alternatives market. Looking forward, as in every industry, the Italian alternative market might however face some threats.

The stringent regulation and the fragmentation of ownership that characterize the market are unlikely to change in the short term. Moreover, as the market grows, it will attract more international investors that may exploit profitable opportunities and lead the market to the next level to the benefit of local actors and investors as well.
