Ersel Gestion Internationale

In 2011, the London office was opened, where the research and analysis activities of external managers were concentrated to support the investments of Ersel Asset Management and Ersel Gestion Internationale.

A presence on Europe's most important financial centre has made it possible to consolidate the professional network with the most prestigious investment houses and to configure investment opportunities that are not readily available to private investors in Italy. In addition, the investments in sub-funds reserved to institutional investors make it possible to minimise the costs associated with the investment, to the full benefit of the final return.

The team dedicated to multi-manager activities ensures an effective process of seeking out the best opportunities, the constant exchange of information and timely controls of the work of pre-selected managers. The selection process takes place through careful due diligence performed on the management structures, so as to guarantee solidity in the investment processes and continued achievement of results.

The funds managed by Ersel Gestion Internationale are distributed by the group through its companies Ersel Banca Privata SpA. and Online SIM.

Since 2019 Ersel has focused wealth management activities in Luxembourg. A personalized service that includes global asset management, consolidation of positions and operational support in the selection of external professionals for all needs. Through the integration of a new team dedicated to markets into the workforce Nordics, Ersel in 2023 strengthened its presence in one of the financial hearts of Europe.
