Four Partners Advisory
Four Partners Advisory was established in 2007 by three former JP Morgan executives who left to create an independent advisory firm. The founders focused the practice on families holding significant entrepreneurial or private wealth that requires coordinated financial oversight. The firm executes mandates across private equity, real estate, distressed situations, and collectibles. It has advised on transactions including the 2011 sale of a stake in Gruppo Coin to BC Partners, the 2015 aggregation that formed Alfasigma, the 2017 acquisition of Excel Nobleza by GualapackGroup, and the 2024 sale of a 35 percent interest in Saras S.p.A. to Vitol by the Moratti family. Engagements span Europe and North America. Four Partners Advisory maintains a team of financial professionals in its Milan headquarters. Alberto Manzonetto serves on the boards of Landi Renzo S.p.A. and the Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia. In 2024 the firm contributed to the Osservatorio Family Office report published by Politecnico di Milano alongside peers including EOS Investment Management Group and Valeur Group. The firm is registered with the Organismo di Vigilanza e Tenuta dell'Albo Unico dei Consulenti Finanziari as a Società di Consulenza Finanziaria. This regulatory status allows it to provide independent advice without affiliation to a banking group or asset manager.
