MILAN, 20 July 2022 – PGIM Investments in Italy has appointed Sebastiano Costa as senior relationship manager, further bolstering its growing business in the country. Costa will be based in Milan and will report to PGIM Investments’ head of Italy, Alessandro Aspesi. He joined PGIM Investments on 18 July 2022.

Costa brings to PGIM Investments nearly two decades of experience in asset management. He joins from PIMCO where he spent almost eight years initially as senior vice president in the EMEA Global Wealth Management team and later as head of Italian Institutional Business. Prior to this, he held senior distribution and relationship management roles at Lombard Odier IM and Schroders in Italy.

In his new role, Costa will focus on expanding PGIM Investments’ institutional and advisory business in Italy, and developing PGIM Investments’ relationships with key clients and prospects.

Sebastiano Costa, Senior Relationship Manager, PGIM Investments

Alessandro Aspesi, head of Italy at PGIM Investments, commented: “I am very pleased to be welcoming Sebastiano to our growing business in Italy. Sebastiano has deep knowledge of the asset management industry in Italy gained through a long, established and respected career. He brings with him a wealth of experience and will partner with our clients and prospects to provide PGIM’s strategies and capabilities across a wide range of asset classes.”

PGIM Investments is the fund distribution arm of PGIM, the US$1.4 trillion global investment management business of U.S.-based Prudential Financial, Inc. Earlier in 2022, PGIM Investments further strengthened its commitment to Europe by establishing a local presence in Italy and Costa’s appointment is a natural evolution of PGIM Investments’ expanding foothold in the country. PGIM Investments also hired Claudia Corso as head of Client Marketing for Italy in April 2022.

1 Benchmarked AUM as of 30 Sept. 2021. Performance data represents PGIM public businesses’ (PQS, Jennison Associates, PGIM Fixed Income and PGIM Real Estate publicly traded REITS) compositive level. Eighty-one per cent of PGIM’s total public AUM is benchmarked. This calculation does not include non-benchmarked public assets, including general account assets and assets not managed by PGIM (AUA in QMA), as well as assets that are not managed within an investment composite (examples include futures and overlay strategies).
