Tages Capital SGR

What Tages Capital SGR does

Tages Capital SGR S.p.A. is an Italy-based independent asset management firm (Società di Gestione del Risparmio) registered with the Bank of Italy under no. 132 of the Asset Management Companies Register (AIFM Section). The firm manages four reserved closed-end alternative investment funds: three infrastructure funds focused on renewable energy and the energy transition—Tages Helios (€253M, 2015), Tages Helios II (€477M, 2018), and Tages Helios Net Zero (€554M, 2023, SFDR Article 9)—and Tages Credit Fund (€145M, 2023, SFDR Article 8), its first private debt vehicle. Total assets under management exceeded €1.4 billion as of March 2026, with a Gross Asset Value of more than €3 billion, making Tages the second-largest photovoltaic operator in Italy by installed capacity at over 900 MW across approximately 300 plants. The firm employs a buy-and-hold strategy executed through Delos Power, its asset-management and O&M subsidiary, which provides integrated technical oversight across the fleet.

The firm's investor base comprises roughly 30 institutional investors—including insurance companies, pension funds and banks (notably Fondazione Enpam, Sara Assicurazioni, and three banking foundations in Helios II)—alongside family offices, private banking networks, and private investors, predominantly Italian with international participation. Approximately 40% of Helios Net Zero capital came from first-time Tages LPs; for Tages Credit Fund, that figure was 81%. Distribution combines direct institutional sales with private banking channels. Revenue is generated primarily through AUM-based management fees plus performance fees on returns, with additional O&M income from Delos Power; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Strategically, Tages is in the midst of consolidating with 21 Invest under Edizione sponsorship via a new private-markets platform called 21 Next (announced December 2025), which will acquire 100% of both firms while preserving management continuity. The firm is concurrently expanding into adjacent energy-transition verticals: biomethane (acquisitions in October 2024 and May 2025), battery storage, and EV-charging infrastructure via the IPlanet joint venture with Macquarie Capital. The senior team brings senior leadership pedigree from Edison, Citi, Schroders, F2i SGR, Lyxor, Deloitte and Macquarie, and the firm has been a UNPRI signatory since 2018.
