CIV
CIV was established in Milan in 2013 by Alessandro Nitti. Nitti left JPMorgan in September 2012 to build a vehicle focused on responsible finance for high-net-worth families and social entrepreneurs. The firm remains fully private and independent. CIV allocates across private equity, private credit, and real estate. It also runs philanthropic and mission-related programs. Geographic reach centers on Italy and other European jurisdictions through controlled subsidiaries. No specific portfolio companies or co-investors are disclosed in public materials. The team includes Francesco Tam as CIO and Enrico Parretta as General Manager. Both hold academic roles at Italian universities. CIV maintains an office in Scuol, Switzerland. In August 2023 Francesco Tam was appointed CFO of MeglioQuesto S.p.A., where Nitti serves as Executive Chairman. CIV operates as a controlled group of entities that combine family-office services with direct corporate-advisory mandates. This hybrid structure allows it to serve both families and enterprises under one governance framework.
