Natixis IM is detecting “a mass appetite” by the distributors for their private asset fund for the retail public, as explained on Wednesday Javier García de Vinuesa, Country Head of Natixis IM in Spain and Portugal, in an encounter with the media. The manager launched the Natixis Multi Private Assets Navigator, an Eltif Fund (in Spanish, Filpe, European long -term investment fund).
This fund allows investors to position in public debt, Private Equityinfrastructure and real estate sector for amounts from 10,000 euros, Vinuesa stressed, who said that “for the first time we let private clients from that amount”, which means “the democratization of some assets that so far only accessed a very institutional part of the market.” The objective is to capture 1 billion at European level, and about 100 million in Spain.
The launch of this fund has been possible thanks to the new ELTIF 2.0 directive, which entered into force in January 2024 and facilitates retail access to illegid assets in Europe. “Institutional investors were already very interested in this type of products; the novelty comes because That interest, little by little, has been spreading the individual, that until now he did not have a legislation or vehicles that gave him the possibility of investing in these assets, “added the head of Natixis Im. These funds can be useful to unravel the portfolios of the behavior of the stock market and bonds in a year as 2025, marked by the high volatility in the markets, he explained.” It is necessary to seek greater diversification in the portfolios. The S&P 500 falls 12% and the IBEX 35 rises 12%, but in the middle there have been sudden movements. Royal assets can protect portfolios at times like this, “said Javier García de Vinuesa. In addition, the assets that were shelter no longer work as such, since the bags and bonds have fallen at the same time, according to Carmen Olds, director of Advisory de Natixis Im Solutions for Spain and Latin America.
In the same meeting with journalists, organized to present your Spanish portfolio barometer, Olds explained that Spanish investors are increasingly risky. The percentage of exposure to variable income in moderate portfolios (the most common among Spanish clients) has risen in about 13 points in 9 years, from 41% in which it was on December 2016 to 55% closing of 2024.
