This talk held by the ESADE Alumni Finance Club in conjunction with Spain’s Risk Management Club will examine the outlook and different strategies of international funds regarding the Spanish market.
The international funds operating in Spain have played a significant role in developing and carrying out all sorts of operations in the real estate and finance markets since the onset of the economic crisis, including major operations in recent years involving all kinds of assets (portfolios of bad debts in banks, assets and real estate companies, purchase and sale and stakes in companies, finance, etc) and a good many of the most dynamic industries needing capital and specialized management in Spain – a situation that will persist this year.
Sharing their opinions of the Spanish market, and their positioning and investment strategies for 2017 will be two of the most dynamic funds in the Spanish market, Oaktree and HIG Capital, and one of the foremost banks selling assets in finance markets.
After the session we will offer breakfast.
