About Alba

The Alba Approach

Alba's investment philosophy integrates a research-driven, bottom-up approach to credit selection with a top-down macro framework to manage risk effectively.

Alba's portfolios are built around the principle of diversified concentration: a focus on a select number of high-conviction trades diversified across multiple risk dimensions. This strategy enables the team to apply equity-level research rigor to credit investments.

Complementing Alba's human-led investment decisions, the team utilizes proprietary tools that harness real-time market data to identify dislocations and arbitrage opportunities.

Alba's Story

For nearly a decade, our Founding Partners have collaborated to manage the fixed income and credit allocation of a major European single family office, consistently delivering superior risk-adjusted returns.

Bringing their entrepreneurial vision to life, the Founding Partners established Alba in 2024 with the goal of opening their investment strategies to a broader range of professional and institutional investors.

Named after the Italian town of Alba, nestled in the heart of Piedmont, the firm pays homage to the place where the seed of their venture was sown. The name “Alba” also symbolizes a new dawn, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the team.
