Filippo Lanza

Passionate about investing from public markets to start ups. Since the early 90s I have been trading and managing money across fixed income and equity, derivatives and special situations. Across the many credit crises, I developed a vast experience on credits, stressed and distressed, and through critical corporate events spanning from mergers & acquisitions to debt equitizations.

Particularly interested on Macro Credit Analysis, where sovereign issuers need to be analysed, mutatis mutandis, just as a large private borrower competing in the global capital markets and where monetary policy is increasingly constrained, for policy design or macro issues. I believe in Proper Macro Accounting, where central banks need to be analysed compatibly with their exact legal status, i.e. a fully consolidated government subsidiary. Disappointed in Macro Economic theory with unrealistic behavioural assumption that can only produce unreliable forecasts and meaningless explanations.

Luckily invested in several tech start-ups, from EdTech to FinTech and recently in Health-tech. Immensely grateful for all the inspirational entrepreneurs that invited me to be part of their incredible journeys. Open to new ventures and disruptive ideas, where you can find great human beings to invest alongside.

My dream and curiosity is all about the new technology, AI and NLP, to be applied to textual analysis supporting investment valuations and decisions, and transforming the way we imagine and predict the future.
