"We are evaluating the opportunity to launch a specialised fund on infrastructure and security, two relevant themes in line with European investment plans," explains Sella Sgr's CEO, Mario Romano. "A fund that could invest in bonds and shares of companies active in traditional infrastructure and technological innovation sectors such as data centres, digital, energy, and security such as cybersecurity and aerospace control systems.
Romano's announcement is important because it highlights the interest also of Italian management companies in a sector, such as security, that will have great development in Italy and Europe after what has been decided at Nato country level.
Excluding anti-personnel mines
.The portfolio of the new fund will certainly not include securities of companies that produce or distribute anti-personnel mines or cluster bombs. 'Of course, we are aligned to Law 220 of 2021,' Romano emphasises. 'We absolutely exclude companies that produce anti-personnel mines and cluster bombs. The exclusion is based on Msci's black list'.
Sustainable Commitment
.Alongside the new financial instruments on the launch pad, there are also funds that are already 10 years old at Sella Sgr. This is the case of the balanced impact fund 'Sustainable Investments'. This year the management company published the tenth edition of the impact report.
'Sustainable Investments started in 1999 as an ethical fund,' Romano recalls, 'but became an impact fund in 2015.
