In May 2020, Ambienta X launched X Alpha, which today represents the world's largest long/short equity fund entirely focused on environmental themes, by investing in sustainability champions and shorting franchises disrupted by sustainability trends. An achievement underpinned by strong financial performances in the period and highlighting yet again the powerful application of the internal sustainability know-how to a variety of asset classes.

As a consequence of this excellent start, Ambienta X is about to launch several new strategies with the same thematic focus, building on the continuous expansion of the research and investment teams. The further strengthening of the London team, with the arrival of Sofia Savvantidou and Oliver Wegener, is the result of such forward-looking approach.

Prior to joining Ambienta, Sofia was Head of the Exane BNP Paribas Utilities & Renewables Equity Research Franchise. She led the team to 5 consecutive #1 rankings in the Extel and subsequent Extel Institutional Investor surveys. Previously she was head of utilities equity research at Citi where she worked for 7 years. Sofia started her career in JPMorgan as equity research analyst for the utilities sector.

Oliver was the head trader at Sator Square Capital, where he worked alongside our COO, Robert Moore. He has previously worked for nine years at Goldman Sachs, as head portfolio manager of option strategies in private wealth management for EMEA and Asia. Prior to that, he traded options for the award-winning hedge fund Trafalgar Asset Asset Managers. Oliver began his career in risk analysis before moving into trading.
