Algebris Investment (Ireland) Limited
Algebris Investment was founded in 1999 by Davide Serino, Gabriele Foà, and Davide Venturini, originally as a financial-sector specialist investment firm. The firm is headquartered in Dublin and maintains offices in London, Milan, Luxembourg, and Singapore. Its founding team built the firm on deep expertise in banking, insurance, and credit markets. Algebris runs a multi-strategy platform covering global macro hedge funds, long-only credit funds, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure. The firm is known for its fundamental research-driven approach, particularly in financial sector equities and credit. Key strategies include a flagship global financials fund and opportunistic credit funds. The firm has partnered with institutional investors including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and insurance companies. The firm manages approximately $12–18 billion in assets (Altss estimate). Algebris employs around 120 professionals globally. It has an insurance-linked investment arm, Algebris Insurance Dedicated Fund, which invests in insurance-linked securities. In June 2024, the firm closed a new private credit fund focused on European financial sector lending (per Financial Times, June 2024). Algebris differentiates itself through its deep specialization in financial sector investments, spanning public and private markets. The firm's credit and insurance-linked strategies provide a natural hedge to its equity-oriented macro funds, and its Dublin domicile gives it a regulatory-efficient European hub. The firm has built a strong track record in identifying distressed financial-sector opportunities, notably during the European sovereign debt crisis.
