Ambienta Achieves €500 Million for Small Cap Strategy

Ambienta, a prominent European asset manager dedicated to environmentally sustainable investments, has successfully garnered commitments amounting to €500 million for its small cap strategy, surpassing its initial target of €450 million. This strategic move marks a return to Ambienta's origins, focusing on smaller enterprises with revenues up to €150 million that are driven by environmental trends. The fund will initially be managed by a team in Milan and Paris, led by partners Francesco Lodrini, Yann Bak, and Giacomo Forti, with additional support from senior advisor Francesco Sogaro. The initiative is underpinned by robust investment infrastructure and proprietary methodologies like the Environmental Impact Analysis and the ESG in Action program. Key advisors for the placement included Campbell Lutyens for exclusive advisory and Kirkland & Ellis alongside Advant NCTM for legal counsel. Ambienta's strategic expansion is testament to its commitment to sustainability, reinforcing its investment philosophy even in a market environment where many are turning away from sustainable ventures.
