Sella SGR, Sella Group’s Asset Management company, has signed a strategic partnership to integrate into its investment processes the proprietary AI technology developed by MDOTM, the European leader in the development of AI-Driven investment strategies for institutional investors.

The partnership arises from the synergy between the investment teams of Sella SGR and MDOTM, one of the largest in Europe focused on Artificial Intelligence and made up of physicists, data scientists, engineers and finance professionals.
