R&S Advisory

R&S Advisory

R&S Advisory is an Italian independent financial-advisory firm. Its founders built the practice on the idea that an adviser should share risk with clients, linking compensation directly to deal outcomes rather than advisory retainers. The firm reports more than 100 years of cumulated experience across its professional staff, with backgrounds spanning investment banking and private equity. The firm runs three parallel workstreams: mergers and acquisitions, financial restructuring, and debt advisory. On the M&A side, it works with public companies, large industrial groups, and family-owned businesses. Its restructuring practice handles both in-court and out-of-court turnaround situations. The debt-advisory arm arranges bank, bond, and structured-financing facilities. R&S Advisory does not disclose individual portfolio-company names or specific deal values, stating only that it has completed transactions across major industries from its single office in Milan. The team brings a generalist mandate, executing mandates for Italian and cross-border clients. Although the firm does not publish an AUM figure, its chosen model — a partnership-style advisory boutique rather than a regulated asset manager — means it deploys no balance-sheet capital of its own. Compensation structures tie fees to successful closes, a design the firm believes removes conflict with counterparties. No recent operational events, such as leadership changes or fund launches, were publicly disclosed as of the most recent review. R&S Advisory’s structural distinction lies in its independence and the risk-sharing model it describes as core to its identity. Without an investment vehicle to feed or a parent institution to satisfy, the firm selects mandates solely on merit. That architecture positions it as a pure intermediary, aligning its revenue with the transactional success of the families, corporations, and institutions it represents.
