European Private Equity and Digital Asset strategies
Delivering alpha from uncorrelated and unique investments and strategies
We research and select the best ideas, put together top-notch teams, after which we prove the concept and finally put them forward to our investors
About Fortiland
Fortiland is focussed on delivering alpha from uncorrelated and niche investments or asset class strategies:
-
In the European Private Equity, constantly targeting new markets or investment opportunities in niche sectors, typically overlooked by others and often capacity constrained
-
In the Digital Asset space by giving exposure to an attractive and rapidly maturing asset class that can no longer be ignored and providing sustainable performance in a simplified, risk averse and trustworthy approach
-
As well as in Strategic Advisory covering specific needs and situations where its professional advice can make a difference.
Before proposing a new investment idea or strategy, we research and select the best ideas, put together top-notch teams, after which we prove the concept and finally put them forward to our investors.
Fortiland was set up by Raffaele Petrone, who decided to focus on sectors where there is a clear competitive advantage and where alpha can still be delivered, steering clear of oversaturated markets with strong competition or numerous players.
What is in a name?
William Shakespeare in his famous play Romeo and Juliet used the line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” This was intended to convey that the naming of things is an irrelevant convention with no meaning behind it.
We think quite the opposite, since at Fortiland our name means something to us and encloses part of our values, commitments and vision that goes beyond time and borders.
Our name is the combination of the Latin adjective “fortis” (/ˈfɔɹtɪs/), which means strong, and the English noun, common prefix in all the Germanic languages, “land”.
Accordingly, the literal combination would mean the “Strong ground”, but the combination of the two words deriving from the two main Western language families makes our name’s meaning adaptable and clear across all the Western continent.
As a consequence, every day we at Fortiland are committed to offer our “ground” of best investment ideas and strategies across Europe, by keeping focus on the fundamentals and the risk management to keep them “strong” to the adverse macro-economic (exogenous) or business (endogenous) factors.
