YOUR GATEWAY TO ITALY

CPI Partners, Marco Cattaneo and Andrea Angelelli, have a strong track record and many years of experience in sourcing, structuring, negotiating and monitoring Private EquityM&A and Corporate Finance deals on Italian companies, particularly with respect to Italian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

 

The Italian market for investments in SMEs is currently very attractive:

  • Market is far less crowded than five-six years ago and the competition in the SMEs segment is very limited
  • Opportunity to catch the cycle
  • Lack of acquisition financing is reducing multiples

 

Italian SMEs are profitable companies with significant know-how and growth potential.

 

In 2014 CPI arranged a new investment vehicle operating in the italian illiquid assets market.

 

The venture (structured as Special Purpose Vehicle ex art 130 under the Italian Law) will invested more than to Euro 120 Millions in Tax Credit Assets from Italian companies (IVA, IRES, IRAP credits).

CPI acted on behalf of one of the most important international AAM (Alternative Asset Managers) and selected the business and the operating managers.

 

The SPV and the credits portfolio were sold to another international financial investor in February 2019.
