- Its strategy, with a clear focus on supporting the SME ecosystem and growth business projects, maintains an active and close investment policy.
- The entry of Kutxabank as majority shareholder represents a strategic commitment in the alternative assets segment.
- Talde's portfolio has seen intense activity recently, with the incorporation of new investees such as Discarlux, Plymouth and Siban, and the successful exit of investments in P4Q, Cacesa and Ñaming.
Bilbao, 25 June 2025 — The alternative asset manager TALDE GESTIÓN has held its Investor Day at the Iberdrola Tower in Bilbao., bringing together many of the firm's main investors, as well as partners and management teams from investee companies. The meeting has served as a meeting point to share the management company's vision for the future, review success stories and reinforce its commitment to the business community.
The event has been held at a key moment for the fund management company after almost fifty years of activity and the recent entry of KUTXABANK in its capital as majority shareholder, within the framework of its strategic commitment to the alternative assets segment, supporting the growth and development of TALDE as a platform specialised in alternative investment.
In this context, the years 2024 and 2025 have been particularly active in portfolio management. There have been outstanding additions to the portfolio such as Discarlux (leader in Spain in the processing and distribution of premium beef cuts), Plymouth (manufacturer of insulating tapes and technical products for the industrial and energy sectors) and Siban (a global leader in the manufacture of rubber conveyor belts) together with successful divestments of companies such as P4Q, Cacesa and Ñaming., all of them after having completed very important business developments while being part of the portfolio.
During the event, the two new investment vehicles and pillars for TALDE's strategy for the next five years were presented:
- TALDE Capital Crecimiento III<, PEF, Privaye Equity fund with a target size of EUR 200 million, focused on supporting business expansion and transformation projects.
- TALDE Deuda Alternativa II (ELTIF), Private Debt fund, with a target size of EUR 100 million, focused on providing flexible long-term financing to growth companies.
Both vehicles reflect TALDE's strategy of continuity, with a clear focus on supporting the SME ecosystem and growth business projects, while maintaining an active and close and impactful investment policy.
“I would like to thank the investors who entrust part of their savings to companies like TALDE as, in addition to obtaining an attractive economic return, they are actively involved in ensuring that this investment has an impact on real economy” said Fernando del Hoyo, General Manager of Kutxabank Wholesale Banking and Chairman of TALDE.
"With these new funds, we strengthen our long-term commitment to the Spanish business community. We want to continue to be a strategic partner for companies that are committed to growth, innovation and impact generation", said Idoia Bengoa, Managing Partner of TALDE.
The Investor Day also offered the opportunity to learn first-hand about the success stories of TALDE investee companies, highlighting the role of the management company as a catalyst for business transformation.
