Asset is an invariable English loanword widely used in Italian finance, business, and journalism. It is masculine in Italian — un asset strategico, gli asset aziendali. Unlike the English plural 'assets', Italian may use the same form asset for both singular and plural, though assets also appears in informal business Italian.
