Vertis Società di Gestione del Risparmio S.p.A. (Vertis SGR) is an independent Italian regulated investment manager founded in 2007, with operating offices in Naples and Milan. Its own audited fund reports identify Bank of Italy alternative-investment-fund manager registration number 110 and VAT number 05707511217. It manages closed-end investment funds reserved for professional investors, financing research projects, university spinouts, startups, scaleups and innovative small and medium-sized businesses. Its digital, industrial and technology-transfer strategies include artificial intelligence, biomedical technology and deep technology. The current public directory identifies 28 people across investment, operations, risk, compliance, anti-money-laundering, governance and statutory-audit functions; several functional specialists also work for external service providers, whose positions are distinguished from Vertis investment employment. Its managed vehicles include historical private-equity funds Vertis Capital and Capital Parallel; venture and scaleup funds; technology-transfer fund Vertis Venture 3; and southern-Italy, Puglia and Lazio digital-innovation funds. Ten distinct historical/current vehicles are documented in the fund archive, including Capital Parallel; the main company page separately describes nine funds. Published fund capital is distinguished from stated fundraising targets, operational launch months, management-company share capital and portfolio-company cash. Current relevant investments include Sibylla Biotech, AI companies Latitudo 40, Tuidi and Butterfly, and digital-health company Health Triage. Sibylla’s 2019 investment was made through managed Vertis Venture 3 Technology Transfer; that legal fund attribution is retained in the issuer participation evidence rather than represented as a second competing manager.
