GTT Research also employs a team of finance professionals who specializes in research and investments in Italy in the small medium sized enterprises which after the recent global financial crisis have not been able to access funding from the local banking sector. In addition in this respect our advisory team, among others, facilitates investment flows between Asia and Italy and assists Italian companies in positioning themselves in the strongest possible way to attract foreign capital. Our access to the vast network of decision makers put GTT Group in a privileged position to facilitate direct investments in the country.

Before submission to the Investment Committee, investment proposals are reviewed on a pre-Investment Committee meeting chaired by the Chief Investment Officer. The Investment Committee makes investment decisions independently.
