Adriano Lucatelli was born on 23 February 1966 in Uster near Zurich, Switzerland. His father’s family originated from Apulia in southern Italy, and worked primarily in agriculture and the textile industry. His mother’s family comes from central Switzerland. His great-grandfather was the entrepreneur and pioneer in electricity Zeno Durrer, and his great uncle was Ludwig von Moos, a member of the Swiss federal government (the Swiss Federal Council). [1]

Since 2009, Lucatelli has been an entrepreneur in the financial services industry. He started his career in 1994 at Credit Suisse, where he held various managerial positions in Zurich and London. From 2002 to 2009 Lucatelli was managing director and member of the management committee at UBS Switzerland in Lugano and Zurich.

Investment expertise

In this context, Lucatelli, together with Ernst Fehr, calculated the Market-Adjusted Performance Indicator (MAPI) for listed Swiss companies for the first time [6] and showed that good management systematically generates shareholder value, as evidenced by the fact that the shares of these companies have in some cases achieved significantly better results than the market average as measured by the broad-based Swiss Performance Index (SPI).

The Market-Adjusted Performance Indicator (MAPI) measures the performance of a company’s management using a relative performance indicator designed to capture management performance as holistically as possible by covering both short-term success and long-term impact. The MAPI is an important element for targeted corporate governance. Bengt Holmström, with his economic research and his findings, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2016, laid the theoretical foundation for the application of a relative performance indicator. It states that top management should be incentivised with a long-term relative performance indicator for its variable compensation.
