Perugino is the second fund dedicated to credits by Sorgente sgr after Pinturicchio, both products are capable of providing investors with higher returns with a low risk. “Investing in bank debts – declared Giovanni Cerrone, Sorgente sgr general director – shows the potential of the current market, which is nowadays very interesting. Besides, it has an ethical and social function for the most vulnerable Italian families. Buying credits at a much lower price than their nominal value, in fact, allows making more sustainable repayment plans. This makes possible regain trust in the future, thanks to repayment strategies compatible with the needs of the financially struggling social categories”.
