Hi, I'm Stefano Grasso - Senior Portfolio Manager at Enhanced Value Fund
I bridge the gap between rigorous strategic analysis and dynamic market execution. With a background forged at McKinsey and scaled through years of complex commodity trading and leadership roles at Eni, I have honed the ability to navigate high-stakes environments from Tanzania to Singapore. Today, as a Portfolio Manager, I translate global market complexity into clear investment insights. I am driven by the intersection of capital allocation and data-driven storytelling, consistently seeking to uncover latent value where others see noise.
