Robert J. Tomei Robert J. Tomei passed away yesterday morning in New York, taken away by an ugly evil that left him no escape. So it is now to be read in the right light the real reason why he chose to sell 100% of its creature, Advanced Capital sgr, the unique Italian manager of funds of international private equity funds, to the secondary market giant Capital Dynamics just 20 days ago.

An Italian-American, formerly in the alternative investment assets team of Merrill Lynch International, Tomei began his career in New York in 1993 at Kidder Peabody, before moving to London with the same company. He then founded in Milan Advanced Capital sgr in 2004 and has always been its deus ex machina, although from 2013 he had been supported by ceo Robert H. Berlé.
