Azimut Group, a global investment manager based in Milan, Italy, has made what it calls a significant investment in the Sanctuary Wealth Group, an Indianapolis-based wealth management firm.
Sanctuary, which operates broker-dealer, registered investment advisory and investment management arms, has 41 partner firms across 17 states that advise on more than $12 billion in assets. Azimut manages the equivalent of $67 billion.
