Independent

Commenda is not affiliated with any financial institution. In the interests of our clients, we do not manage wealth ourselves nor do we give investment or tax advice. By avoiding any risk of conflict of interest, as your independent advisor we can negotiate optimal asset management costs, select the right service providers for you and assess asset managers. As a family office, we are unique in this. Commenda is fully owned by the partners, who work in the business as your advisors every day.

The name Commenda

The Commenda is a two-partner enterprise that existed in Italy in the 12th century. One partner had money to invest which was used to buy merchandise. The second partner accompanied the goods to a trading city to sell them to local merchants. The traveling partner then returned with the money and profits.
