Dear Fernando Sandoval, I am currently trying to develop a suitable research question for my Master's Thesis, and in particular trying to explain why Search funds are gaining more and more success in Spain with respect to Italy, despite being two countries with very similar features. For such a reason, I was wondering if you could give me some impressions and directions to develop the reasoning. I would be glad to get in touch with you and to hear about all the interesting insights you might have about the topic I thank you in advance for your help and wish you all a great day. Best regards, Claudia Marzocchella
