Leone Investments aims to form its target audience

The choice of property is not only based on the opportunities that can be derived but also on the fact that they often belong to owners in financial difficulty, unable to meet the costs of a mortgage, for example. By intervening in this way, the property is prevented from going to auction, allowing the owner to free himself from future debts and the investors to benefit financially from the transaction

In addition, Leone Investments has a very important human component: the investor managers have a fundamental and formative role of financial literacy, when a client signs up within the platform they are contacted and guided in their crowdfunding investment choice to be able to reconcile their needs with respect to the opportunities that this type of investment offers.

Armando Perrone, co-founder of Leone Investments clarifies “Our intent is not only to generate profits to make shareholders happy but also to orient our audience towards a more aware financial culture. There is a high rate of financial illiteracy in Italy, which is why we try to give the necessary information in the clearest and simplest way possible so that everyone, starting with young people, can have the right foundation to know the market and make the right investment.”
