S&F Employee Portrait
What are your passions outside of S&F?
My biggest passion is traveling. I love discovering other cultures and learning new languages. But when I’m not travelling, I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and I also really enjoy cooking. Doing quizzes is as well something I do regularly and with passion.
If you weren’t working in the fund industry, what field would you prefer to work in?
I’m also very interested in the education sector; I wouldn’t see myself as a teacher per se, but rather, for example, as a headteacher, as this role allows one to act as a link between polics and teachers or students. Furthermore, I’m very interested in everything to do with sport. Not directly as an athlete (my sporting ability is not memorable), but, for example, in club management or as a sports journalist.
What motivates you in the world of collective investment funds?
As well as the various asset classes we offer at S&F – all of which have their own distinct characteristics, which is both fascinating and instructive – what motivates me most of all is working with so many different counterparties and being able to use several languages at work. I hope that one day we will also be able to do business abroad, which would be an additional source of motivation.
Describe S&F in 3 words
Young, direct, open-minded
What makes Solutions & Funds stand out from your other employers?
At S&F, I particularly appreciate the liberty I have to organise my work in such a way as to achieve the best possible results. It is also worth highlighting the speed of decision-making, the openness to new ideas, and the straightforward, direct relationships between colleagues.
Thank you so much, Paolo, for your passion and tireless commitment to our clients and their fund projects.
