Milan, London –Alantra has acted as exclusive financial advisor to AMCO-Asset Management Company S.p.A. on the sale of a €400 million re-performing mortgage portfolio. The portfolio, comprising retail mortgages, was acquired by funds managed by AB CarVal, an established global alternative investment manager, following a competitive process that attracted interest from multiple market participants.

The transaction is part of AMCO’s 2024-2028 Strategic Plan and its commitment to financial sustainability, contributing to the development of an efficient re-performing residential mortgage market in Italy.

This deal further underscores Alantra’s commitment to supporting financial institutions in optimizing their portfolios for sustainable growth. It builds on numerous deals in the FIG space the team has advised on recently, such as Helaba’s credit risk sharing transaction of c. €2.3bn or Banco BPM’s structured sale of non-instrumental real estate assets for €295mn.
