F&P Equity Partner

F&P Equity Partner

F&P Equity Partner was established in Milano in 2023 by Guglielmo Fiocchi, Maurizio Perroni, Andrea Lovato and the professional network of RTZ. The firm evolved directly from F&P4BIZ, a four-year investment initiative that built a track record of acquiring and operating Italian industrial and service companies. The three named founders serve as the firm's operating principals, continuing a model they developed together prior to formalizing the platform. Strategy centers on buyout and turnaround situations in Italian industrial and service companies with revenues up to €100 million. The firm operates a club-deal structure, matching entrepreneurs with investor capital and providing direct strategic and managerial support post-acquisition. The mandate spans both organic growth acceleration and acquisition-driven expansion, with a stated emphasis on internationalization. Through the predecessor entity and the current platform, the team maintains close operational oversight of portfolio companies, working to improve fundamental economic and financial metrics. Team size and total committed capital are not publicly disclosed. The firm's network includes the professional community of RTZ, which contributed to its founding. No additional offices outside Milano or parallel investment vehicles are disclosed. The website highlights a structured yet adaptable governance framework, though it does not detail specific board committees or investment committee composition. Architecturally, F&P Equity Partner blends a sponsor-backed club-deal model with an in-house operating partner approach. Unlike traditional blind-pool funds, the firm raises capital on a deal-by-deal basis through a curated network of investors and entrepreneurs, tailoring governance to each project. The direct involvement of Fiocchi, Perroni and Lovato as hands-on managers — rather than purely financial sponsors — shapes a structure where post-acquisition strategy is delivered by the investment principals themselves.
