What Green Arrow Capital does

Green Arrow Capital S.p.A. Società Benefit is an independent Italian alternative-investment platform founded in 2012 and headquartered in Rome, with operational offices in Milan, Luxembourg (Green Arrow Capital AIFM SARL, CSSF-authorised) and Madrid. The group operates seven investment strategies — Private Equity, Energy & Digital Infrastructure, Private Credit (Direct Lending), Special Situations, NPL, Client Solutions and Real Estate — through 31 active funds with €8 billion of total capital raised and a footprint spanning 49 countries and 150+ investors. Strategy-level reach includes €1.6bn revenue generated through Private Equity, €4.5bn through Direct Lending, €2.4bn equity / €30bn nominal credits in NPL, 6,000 GWh of cumulative renewable production since 2012, and 255 electric buses / 120 charging points under operation.

The platform is the product of a sustained buy-and-build strategy: Quadrivio SGR was acquired in 2018 (now Green Arrow Capital SGR), Quercus in 2019 (Luxembourg renewable-infrastructure platform), Quaestio's NPL business unit in 2019, and DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR in May 2026 — the largest transaction to date, which combined with prior capital increases from Intesa Sanpaolo (2020), ENPAM and ITAS Mutua (2024) underpins the €8bn AUM scale. Revenue is generated through management fees on committed/invested capital across fund vintages, carried interest linked (in some cases) to ESG-linked incentives, advisory and managed-account mandates (ICF III, DeA Endowment Funds I & II), and club-deal / co-investment origination such as the €150m Mi.To Real Estate fund and the May 2026 €1bn+ JV with Gruppo Lazzari for renewable-powered data centres across Italy.

Distribution is exclusively institutional: senior Managing Directors and the founder-led Top Management team cover pension funds, insurance groups, foundations and large family offices directly. ESG is embedded throughout the platform — UN PRI 5-star rating, UN Global Compact signatory (2021), B Corp / Società Benefit status, and a carbon-neutrality target by 2028 — supported by an integrated ESG Committee, ESG Manager and Champions structure. The technology stack combines proprietary investor platforms (Mi.To Real Estate real-time portal), a Servicer ESG questionnaire for NPL funds, and integrated renewable-asset management across 356 MW photovoltaic, 106 MW wind, 2 MW biogas, 4 MW hydroelectric and 15 MW storage capacity across Italy, Spain, the UK and Eastern Europe.
