Eurizon

Eurizon is the wholly-owned asset management division of Intesa Sanpaolo, Italy's largest banking group. It was created through the consolidation of multiple fund management companies that operated under the Intesa Sanpaolo umbrella. The firm serves as the group's primary vehicle for manufacturing and distributing investment products to its retail and institutional client base.

Eurizon distributes primarily through Intesa Sanpaolo's extensive Italian branch network, which provides captive access to one of Europe's largest retail investor bases. The firm also distributes through the group's private banking and wealth management divisions, and has expanded into select European markets through partnerships and acquisitions.

Eurizon manages traditional long-only strategies across equities and fixed income, alongside multi-asset portfolios and a growing alternatives capability. The firm is structured primarily around UCITS-compliant funds designed for European retail and institutional distribution, with a product range that spans both actively managed and systematic strategies.

No. Eurizon operates as the captive asset management arm of Intesa Sanpaolo. Its investment teams and distribution are integrated with the parent banking group, distinguishing it from independent managers that must negotiate third-party distribution agreements. This structure provides stable asset flows but also ties the firm's growth to the group's strategic priorities.

Saverio Perissinotto serves as CEO of Eurizon, overseeing the firm's strategic direction and investment platform. The firm operates dedicated investment teams across asset classes within the broader Intesa Sanpaolo group structure, with portfolio management concentrated in Milan.
