A brief history
Originally founded by Stephen Jen and Fatih Yilmaz in 2011 as SLJ Macro Partners, Eurizon SLJ Capital was formed in 2016 when the firm joined forces with Eurizon Capital SGR (Eurizon). Eurizon is the asset management division of Intesa Sanpaolo Group and is one of the fastest-growing asset managers in Europe. In November 2025, Eurizon SLJ Capital acquired the investment mandates and talent of Fideuram Asset Management UK, expanding the platform’s investment capability and capacity. Stephen Jen (CEO & Co-CIO) and Fatih Yilmaz (Co-CIO) retain a 15% equity share in the business and maintain an active role in the day-to-day running of the business and strategies.
