We trace solutions where others
they see obstacles
For forty years we have been turning intuition and lateral thinking into robust financial structures that resolve situations for both counterparties.
Guido Lombardo
Guido Lombardo, founding partner of Harvip (Harvest Investment Partners), has consolidated his experience at the top of European finance, distinguishing himself for his ability to grasp the deep structure of complex situations. His vision does not stop at numbers; it is the result of decades of exposure to critical cases, where intuition becomes the accelerator for identifying connections, hidden risks, and non-obvious opportunities, leading to the right questions even before the answers.
From international roots in London to leading systemic institutions in Italy, their “out-of-the-box” approach has enabled the transformation of heterodox ideas into robust legal and financial architectures. Whether it's European securitisations, the relaunch of banking institutions or the management of multi-billion dollar portfolios, their signature is synonymous with analytical rigour and precision in execution. Within a boutique, this translates into the ability to dismantle and reassemble every operation to guarantee the client total protection in the medium to long term.

This path is guided by the persistence and courage to tread unconventional roads. For the entrepreneur or investor, having Guido Lombardo by their side means collaborating with a partner who doesn't just advise, but stays on the ground – recalibrating structures and exploring alternatives – until the path is charted and the objective is achieved.
The independence of those who see beyond,
the penalty scored by the one who took it
Strategic intuition
The ability to grasp the deep structure of a situation beyond just the numbers. The result of years of exposure to complex cases, it allows for the identification of patterns, hidden risks, and non-obvious opportunities, leading to the right questions before others.
Divergent architecture
Applying an original vision means designing bespoke structures using unconventional frameworks. We transform heterodox ideas into solid legal and financial solutions, combining tools from different sectors to create competitive advantages in time and strategy.
Rigour and systematicity
Unconventional thinking is only valuable if supported by verifiable analytical models and a constant presence on the ground. We stand by our clients even when the path becomes difficult, overseeing every detail until the new route is charted and travelled.

Bespoke architectures and rigorous execution
We design “out-of-the-box” solutions, underpinned by robust and verifiable analytical models. We oversee every contractual and operational detail through to closing, transforming unconventional visions into secure and protected investments.
Independence and confidentiality
At HARVIP, independence is not just a value, but the technical prerequisite for all our operations. Being free from institutional constraints or conflicts of interest allows us to act in the sole interest of the client, guaranteeing an objective assessment and authentically “tailor-made” planning. This autonomy is the foundation on which we build financial architectures that often dare to be different, born from critical thinking that does not have to adhere to predefined models, but only to the soundness of the result.
Similarly, confidentiality is the cornerstone of our professional relationship. Managing complex operations and critical assets demands absolute ethical and informational integrity: every file is handled with the utmost discretion, safeguarding the identity and objectives of our partners at every stage of the journey. For HARVIP, protecting the operation means first and foremost protecting the trust of those who have chosen us to forge new paths.
