Banco Santander said Monday that it is launching a new
alternatives asset manager after getting authorization from Spain's
National Securities Market Commission.
The move marks the final stage of a process the Spanish bank
began in 2019 when it created an alternative investment business,
it said in a statement.
Luis Garcia-Izquierdo will be the chief executive of the new
business while Borja Diaz-Llanos will serve as chief investment
officer, Santander said.
"The new asset management firm will enable us to meet the needs
of investors who wish to add alternative assets to their portfolios
to complement traditional ones," Diaz-Llanos said. He added that in
"the current context of high inflation and market uncertainty,
alternative investments help reduce overall risk and maximize
returns over the long term."
Santander Asset Management currently manages 22 alternative
investments vehicles with more than 2 billion euros ($2.17 billion)
committed globally, Santander said.
