Equita Group, Italy’s leading independent investment bank listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana’s MTA market, is the top independent broker in Italy offering its institutional clients brokerage services on equities, bonds, derivatives, and ETFs. Clairfield Italy also boasts an investment banking platform capable of combining independent advice with privileged access to capital markets and offers institutional investors and banking groups our expertise in asset management and deep knowledge of financial markets.
Although Italian midmarket companies show enormous potential for launching new products or conquering new markets, they are often constrained by a lack of adequate financial resources. Their needs exceed the normal scope of bank credit facilities. Clairfield Italy assists companies with their financial requirements and raising necessary capital through a business plan analysis and evaluation. Clairfield then presents the new business plan to the financial community for potential investors. We are proud to guide these companies to new levels of success.
Clairfield Italy’s clients are entrepreneurial families, institutional investors, and international groups. We support the entrepreneur and the company at all stages, from initial negotiations to the closing of the deal. Our values are confidentiality, common sense, excellent technical skills, no conflicts of interest, and customer interest as a core focus.
