Marco Barbaro Cipolla

Marco Cipolla is a Luxembourg-based fund-management executive currently listed by Funder S.A. as Managing Director and Member of the Board. Funder is described in public company profiles as a Luxembourg UCITS management company and AIFM, fully independent and owned by management, helping clients establish and manage funds in Luxembourg and the EU.

Before Funder, Cipolla was Managing Director of Selectra Management Company, a Luxembourg management company created in 2013 as part of FARAD Group. TMF Group completed the acquisition of Selectra from FARAD Group on 12 February 2021 after approval from Luxembourg regulator CSSF; in that announcement, Cipolla commented as Selectra’s Managing Director.

Earlier public coverage links Cipolla to Selectra’s development of UCITS and alternative fund platforms, including funds and structures in impact investing, renewable energy, private equity, real estate, art, and precious metals. MarketScreener lists him as a board member of Quadrivio Group SpA and Selectra Management Co. SA / Private Equity, previously associated with FIA Asset Management SA, TMF Fund Management SA, and Assya Asset Management Luxembourg SA. It also lists degrees from Politecnico di Milano and an MBA from ESSEC Business School; LinkedIn separately shows ESSEC Business School education for 2019-2021.

• Cipolla’s public investing-related work is primarily as a fund-management and AIFM executive, not as a verified personal angel investor.
• At Selectra, he helped develop Luxembourg fund vehicles for European and non-European promoters across AIFs and UCITS.
• In impact investing, he described the approach as combining financial return with measurable social, environmental, or cultural impact, calling it “a revolution in the way of understanding finance.”
• Selectra’s EIIP platform was positioned to connect impact-project promoters with responsible investors through a Luxembourg SICAV-SIF structure.
• Documented focus areas include social housing, green building, renewable energy, SRI fund-of-funds, private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and sustainable finance.
• Current Funder activity emphasizes third-party AIFM governance, regulatory alignment, valuation integrity, operational oversight, and Luxembourg fund structuring for private-market strategies.
