The company was born from the experience of Arca SGR SpA, founded in October 1983, thanks to the effort of 12 Italian Cooperative Banks and over the years has added other credit institutions and financial companies as distributors.

Arca Fondi SGR became one of the leading companies in asset management in Italy thanks to its widespread presence: over 100 distributors, 8,000 bank branches, as well as a network of financial advisors and online channels.

In 2009, with Arca Cedola Funds, it is among the first companies on the market to launch income distribution products, with a target maturity.

Since 2015, the company paid particular attention to the Italian mid and small cap equity market with the launch of the Arca Economia Reale Equity Italia Fund, which takes advantage of the growth opportunities of Small Medium Enterprises.

In 2019, the company became a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment of the United Nations.
