Asteria Investment Managers

What Asteria Investment Managers does

Asteria Investment Managers is a Geneva-based boutique asset manager formed in 2023 through a strategic partnership in which Man Group (a global, technology-empowered active investment manager founded in 1783) acquired a majority stake from Fideuram – Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking (F-ISPB), which retained a minority interest. The firm offers a range of actively managed investment funds spanning long-only to long/short strategies across fixed income, multi-asset, equities, credit, and liquid alternatives, with a stated emphasis on sustainable and impact investing. Its funds are powered by Man Group's investment, technology and implementation platform, while distribution runs primarily through F-ISPB's Italian private banking adviser network and Man Group's global capabilities. The product shelf is supported by a formal responsible-investment framework, including an ESG Policy, Climate Change Policy, SFDR Statements, and Proxy Voting guidelines, positioning the firm for Article 8/9 fund classifications.

The firm operates with a lean team of 13 employees led by CEO and CIO Natacha Guerdat, a 20+ year sustainable-investing veteran and founding member of Sustainable Finance Geneva, alongside a COO, Head of Legal & Compliance, and Finance Manager. Revenue is generated through recurring asset-management fees on its fund range; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The operating geographies are Switzerland and broader Europe, with Italy as the principal end-client market via F-ISPB. Man Group and F-ISPB are both represented on the Board of Directors alongside an independent member, reflecting the shared governance structure.
