No indication of notability, no sources provided other than a link to the company's own website. My own search just turns up trivial mentions and press releases. mikeman67 (talk) 17:48, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The firm is international in character, not just Italian. "Azimut Holding makes fourth acquisition" in Investment Europe discussing its Australian subsidiary, they have others. There are the usual summaries of the firm at Bloomberg, CapitalCube and MarketWatch, which provide verifiability, but not significant coverage. See WP:CORPDEPTH. There are also the routine mentions of changes in stock price and mergers and acquiitions. However, there is other coverage. The 15 April 2014 Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article entitled "Boom Time for Italian Asset Managers", states in part Azimut Holding, one of Italy's largest pure asset managers which is a claim to notability. They are also called a a well known bulletproof hoster for their clients. Cloudtacker indicates that journalist and security researcher Brian Krebs dedicated an article about them in October 2013. (I have not yet found this article.) The tax fraud investigation initiated in 2011 by the Milan Finance Police Corps of the Italian Finance Police regarding the fund's 2003 transactions seems to have died without a specific assessment being made. Azimut's major competitors, according to the WSJ are BlackRock Inc., AllianceBernstein Holding L.P., Och-Ziff Capital Management LLC, and INVESCO Ltd; while Seeking Alpha includes the fund managers Anima and Banca Generali among Azimut's competitors.  While the most recent business news in English was, according to Dow Jones Newswires 21 May 2015: "Azimut Holding Raised to Buy From Neutral by Citigroup" which was not a press release from Azimut, but is not particularly exciting, but there is other coverage including Cloudtacker discusses in a couple of articles the assitance provided by Azimut to the Russian and Italian police in helping others recover from cybercrime. How Hacking Team Helped IT Special Operations Group with BGP Routing Hijack on AZIMUT-AS Azimut Holding S.P.A. and How Hacking Team Helped RU Special Operations Group with BGP Routing Hijack on PKF-AZIMUT-AS PKF Azimut Ltd.. Azimut's Bennet Division made the news regarding Recent Case Law On Liquidated Damages And Penalties: Further Shift Towards A ‘Commercial Justification’ Test in Azimut-Benetti SpA v. Darrell Marcus Healey. The Italian site Trend Online has a recent (1 October) note on Azimut's business "Azimut Holding: situazione grafica resta estremamente precaria" ("Azimut Holding: graphic situation remains extremely precarious").  Overall, there seems to be enough coverage to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. --Bejnar (talk) 21:26, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
