The acquisition represents a significant step in Guber Banca’s expansion and diversification strategy. Specifically, it will benefit from Negentropy’s international scope and further increase the bank’s financial capacity in the special lending sector.
Last year, Banca Guber launched new business lines dedicated to supporting SMEs. The objective is for the bank to consolidate its position in the sector while enhancing the synergies achievable along the entire value chain.
New investment opportunities, sustainable growth
Francesco Guarneri, Guber Banca’s CEO, said: “We are confident that the combination of our experience and the opportunities offered by this partnership, which represents an important window to the international world, can lead to new investment opportunities and to sustainable growth of the bank”.
Ferruccio Ferrara, Negentropy Capital Partner CEO, added: “The co-operation between Negentropy and Guber pre-dates the current agreement since we have been working together for many years on numerous investments. By joining forces with Guber, we want to offer investors a unique platform in Italy for private debt investments. Guber’s track record of over thirty years is extraordinary and through Negentropy, investors will have access to a multiplicity of investment opportunities ranging from structured credit to UTP and NPL portfolios.”
