Testimonials

From institutional clients of the past 13 years

“I have known Vanni professionally since we worked together as portfolio managers at Schroders. His experience and knowledge bring a perspective that is rare among sales traders”

(Michael Grant, global long/short CIO)

​

“I have been using the European rotation model for years and I find it really great at systematically identifying changes in relative performance patterns for individual stocks…..very useful tool !”

(CIO Mogador Capital, ex long/short equity portfolio manager at GLG)

​

“Time sensitive quantitative input of high quality and good help in both the idea generation as well the implementation process. Have been a fan for many years”

(Hasse Diemer, former long/short portfolio manager and family office CEO)

​

“I have been following Vanni since he started on the sell side (2009) and witnessing his model portfolio beating the benchmark almost every year and delivering a solid performance. I personally find the market timing model remarkably accurate to anticipate reversals”

(Fabrizio Maccallini, Equity Derivatives Trader at ING)

​

“Using someone that thinks outside the box, but that also has a process that is consistent in the way they approach the market, provides bundles of value independent of the fact that Vanni's hit rate is as good as anyone else in the market! He is an outstanding and valuable tool for all risk managers“

(former long/short manager in a multi-strategy hedge fund)

​

“I have been using Vanni’s Market Comment and Market Timing Model as an integral part of my investment process. His Rotation Timing Model has also been very useful in identifying outperformers and underperformers”

(Reza Kasraei, former Citadel Multi-Asset portfolio manager)

“I have always run fundamental - bottom up driven strategies, both LO and LS. Vanni´s thought process and methods are miles apart to what I do, and for those reasons he is highly valuable to me. Often, Vanni tells you stuff you do not want to hear, hence his is added value to any fundamental strategy. The strict and emotionless process that Vanni has developed over more than a decade helps me to trust the outcome of his work.”

(CIO/PM of Long Only and Long Short strategies)
 
“I have known VV for over 20 years both professionally and personally.  In my experience he is that rare combination of integrity, intelligence and commerciality. He is client focused to a fault and genuinely brings something valuable to the table. You are speaking to peer, a fellow fund manager - not a broker. However above all else he is a money maker and one of the best kept secrets in European equity markets”.
