Raffaele Riva and AUREA Are Breaking New Ground in Financial Services Across Europe 

By: Sumeet_Manhas

AUREA Multi Family Office is a company that offers international financial services, helping clients navigate various financial terrains such as pRivate investment, wealth and asset management, trusts, and estate planning.  Under the leadership of renowned international businessman Raffaele Riva, AUREA tailors individual services for wealthy clients managing diverse assets.

Founded by Riva in 2008, AUREA regulates various subsidiaries, including Swiss firms Aurea Gestioni Patrimoniali SA, and Aurea Consulenti Associati SA; the London-based BGB AUREA Ltd; and Milano Fiduciaria S.r.l. in Italy.  Riva maintains active participation in these subsidiary companies, overseeing important negotiations and transactions and managing special pRivate investments.

Specifically, the AUREA group of companies provides custom-tailored services in the following areas to their discerning and high profile clientele:

• Asset management
• Audits
• Bequeathals
• Budgeting assistance
• Charitable contributions
• Corporate finance and restructuring
• Club deals
• Estate planning
• Extraordinary transactions
• Financial planning
• Insurance
• International transactions
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Real Estate
• Trusts
• Wealth management

A well-connected international entrepreneur with fluency in three languages and dual citizenship in Italy and Switzerland, Riva collaborates with an impressive network of associates across various countries that provide expertise in various areas of interest to AUREA customers.  These include asset management specialists, banks, hedge fund managers, individual investors, insurance companies, mutual funds, tax attorneys, and others.

AUREA provides unrestricted asset management mandates for businesses as well as pRivate individuals, serving both traditional and alternative investment companies, facilitating transactions, contracts and investments, while also providing guidance and advisory services for their clients.

As a Multi Family Office, AUREA provides elite services customized specifically for each client, in contrast to conventional wealth and asset management companies that create generic products and then sell them to individual investors.  AUREA’s customer base primarily consists of high-net-worth investors with international holdings that often require support with transactions that take place across national borders.

In a recent example of the sort of international transactions that AUREA manages, the company, acting as advisor and agent for Ventilación Industrial Ind. SL, leveraged the negotiation and sale of 100% of its capital shares of CASALS, to multinational group Vortice S.p.A., a global industry leader operating in over 90 countries.  

Ventilación Industrial Ind. SL is a well-established Spanish company that produces domestic, commercial, and industrial ventilation systems and owner of the famed CASALS, a brand that has been established in Spain since 1881 and has been developing, manufacturing, and selling Industrial Ventilation systems since 1924.  At the time of the negotiation, CASALS had built a solid reputation in Spain and had a staff of 110 employees.  

Vortice S.p.A. is a large multinational corporation spanning across 90 countries, that manufactures and distributes ventilation, air treatment, and aspiration services for the domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors around the world, offering a solid line of products and systems. 

The transfer of shares has proven to be beneficial for both buyer and seller.  For CASALS, its acquisition by Vortice will ensure more rapid growth, supported by a solid global infrastructure and secured international distribution channels.  Under the umbrella of Vortice, CASALS is now expanding its product line, as well as increasing distribution of its products.

The AUREA group of companies has proven successful thank to Riva’s extensive expertise in international business, acquired through his involvement in a number of international enterprises.

Having earned a Master’s degree in Accounting at Universitá Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy, Riva completed two post-graduate qualifications: one in SSQUEA at the Canton Ticino Management Business School, and a second in SUPSI at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland.

He then more finely honed his expertise in international business in his capacity as Assistant Manager/Supervisor in the Audit and Accounting Area of a Big 4 form with operations in Italy and the U.K.  He then went on to work as Senior Executive of a multinational corporation, also serving on the boards of its subsidiary companies spread across Europe and South America. Following this, he took over executive leadership of the group’s Lugano office in Switzerland, overseeing the operations of its various subsidiaries and branches in Western Europe, Canada, South Africa, and Central and South America.

Over the course of his employment history from 1997 to 2008, Riva became an expert in asset management, corporate finance, corporate restructuring, estate planning, international financing, mergers and acquisitions, transnational tax laws, wealth management, and related services. By the time he founded AUREA Multifamily Office in 2008, he had secured enough prior experience to ensure the success of this international business venture.
