Equita Capital

It is a fully consolidated subsidiary of EQUITA Group SpA, the independent Italian investment bank listed on Euronext STAR Milan. The parent company has operated for approximately 50 years. EQUITA Capital SGR was created in 2019 to house the group's alternative-asset management activities, which span private debt, private equity, renewable infrastructure, and liquid strategies.

The firm manages four asset classes: private debt (providing customized debt instruments across the capital structure of Italian SMEs), private equity (control or qualified minority stakes supporting SME growth), renewable infrastructure (investments facilitating the energy transition), and liquid strategies (flexible funds and discretionary mandates combining macro analysis with EQUITA's fundamental research).

The firm raises capital from institutional investors and Italian banking networks, structuring highly tailored solutions for their clients. The website highlights that products are offered both as proprietary funds and in delegation, including closed-end private debt and private equity funds, as well as dedicated renewable-infrastructure vehicles and advisory mandates.

The firm's primary private-capital focus is on Italian small and medium-sized enterprises. The EQUITA Group's partnership with Clairfield International provides international reach for M&A mandates, which can surface cross-border deal flow for the SGR. However, the publicly stated investment strategy centres on the Italian market, particularly for private debt and SME equity.
