Talking to Giordano Lombardo to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Plenisfer Investment
8 JUL, 2025
By Teresa Blesa from RankiaPro Europe
Plenisfer was born five years ago as an independent firm in the investment landscape, standing out from the beginning with an approach far from traditional schemes. From the start, the company adopted an investment vision that was not limited to surpassing benchmark indices or following market trends, but was based on a New Active Approach: an active and flexible management, detached from the typical restrictions of benchmarks and focused on specific investment strategies, rather than a simple allocation by asset classes.
To celebrate this important milestone of its fifth anniversary, we had the opportunity to interview Giordano Lombardo, founder, CEO and co-CIO of Plenisfer. With him we review the most relevant milestones of the journey to date, delve into the management of investment funds and talk about the future prospects of the boutique.
