What Global Markets does

Global Markets is an Italian financial consulting firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Montemurlo (Province of Prato), Tuscany. Operating for over fifteen years, the firm provides specialized financial and technical advisory services to Italian enterprises, with a core focus on banking relationship analysis, detection of banking anomalies (anatocismo, usura, and contractual defects), and technical support for litigation and ABF (Arbitrato Bancario Finanziario) proceedings. Its service portfolio spans banking relationship analysis, subsidized finance (finanza agevolata), financial needs analysis and corporate planning, funding acquisition, treasury management optimization, financial risk management, and derivatives/structured products analysis.

The firm's core technology comprises proprietary financial analysis methodologies and technical evaluation systems applied to banking contracts, account statements, and derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps. These methodologies enable quantification of economic effects from banking irregularities, generate court-admissible technical documentation, and support legal counsel in dispute resolution. The firm maintains technical and methodological independence from banking institutions, positioning itself as an objective analyst that supports — rather than replaces — the client's chosen legal counsel.

Global Markets operates a professional services business model with quote-based pricing on direct consulting engagements. The firm is founder-owned and operated by Gianluca Perna, with 1-10 employees, and is distributed primarily through professional referrals and a content-marketing blog that publishes court rulings and technical analyses. Its geographic scope is domestic, concentrated in Tuscany, with a minor strategic partnership with Regional Guarantee Consortia to facilitate client access to subsidized financing.
