Fiduciary ManagementA solid European Trend, useful to examine Why Intelligens

Fiduciary Management is an innovative methodology used to organize the Investment Framework of sizable

portfolios. It reflects the expanding range of actors involved and the need to achieve comprehensive Risk

Management, strategic decision making, effective and transparent governance of the Investment Process.

Fiduciary Management evolved in the early years of 2000’s in the Netherlands and in UK. In 2012 the FM Market

in Europe passed € 1 tr, (+128% in Assets, + 238 clients since 2010), recent surveys(*) indicate over 750 clients in

Europe in 2013 from 0 in 2000, and a growth forecast of additional 30% in assets and over 100% in the member of

new clients in 2015.

The first recognized professional introducing FM in the Netherlands and in UK has been Anton Van Nunen. VGZ, a

Dutch insurance Company has been the first client using an FM model, designed by Van Nunen.

In 2007 Anton Van Nunen authored Fiduciary Management: Blueprint for Pension Fund Excellence. This book has

now been translated in 4 languages and is a reference in FM professional practice. (**)

In 2009 Anton Van Nunen and Vincenzo Volpe started working together researching how the FM framework

could be applied to the Italian Institutional Investors’ Industry.

Since 2010, thanks to Anton and Vincenzo’s advise, several relevant Italian Institutional Clients introduced

Fiduciary Management as their Investment model

In 2013 Intelligens Asset Management Ltd has been incorporated . Vincenzo serves as CEO and Anton is partner

in charge of FM Professional Practice.
