Nextalia SGR announces the entry of H14 into the company’s share capital and the establishment of the new Nextalia Flexible Capital fund, a closed-end alternative investment fund reserved for professional investors.
The entry of H14, following a capital increase approved by the shareholders’ meeting, further consolidates the group of leading investors flanking Nextalia founder Francesco Canzonieri.
H14, an Italian family office based in Milan, brings with it extensive experience in venture and growth capital investments, in line with Nextalia’s mission to support Italian excellence. Fiammetta Roccia, head of permanent capital at H14, joins the board of Nextalia.
At the same time, Nextalia’s board of directors established the Nextalia Flexible Capital fund, a closed-end alternative investment fund reserved for professional investors. Focusing on the small cap segment, the fund is characterised by its hybrid strategy and aims to raise EUR 350 million.
Nextalia Flexible Capital will invest in small and medium-sized Italian companies with high growth potential through majority and minority investments, capital increases and hybrid instruments such as preferred equity.
This initiative enriches Nextalia’s equity sub-fund, led by Valentina Pippolo, chief investment officer equity, who joins the company’s board of directors (in the photo taken from the Nextalia website). The management of the Fund will be entrusted to a dedicated investment team composed of professionals with diversified and complementary experience. In addition, the Fund will be supported by a select group of industrial advisors, nationally renowned sector experts, to maximise value creation in the Fund’s investment opportunities.
Francesco Canzonieri, CEO of Nextalia, said in a note: “We are excited to continue our growth path by welcoming H14 as a new strategic partner. The launch of a new fund with a hybrid strategy confirms Nextalia’s distinctive role as the Italian platform of reference for private market investments. . Desidero ringraziare i soci per il supporto costante e per aver accolto con favore l’ulteriore ampliamento della nostra gamma di strategie di investimento.”
