Co-investment, a hallmark of Banca March This new initiative adds to Banca March’s co-investment offerings, which form a unique and unrivalled model in the market, allowing clients to invest in the same products as the bank, fostering lasting relationships that are consistent with its clients’ interests. Co-investment is a hallmark of Banca March, and the institution is a pioneer in its commitment to alternative assets, with over 20 years of experience providing investment strategies shared with its clients. In the case of illiquid co-investment, Banca March covers a variety of illiquid asset types (venture capital, private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure) carefully selected by the bank to offer an investment alternative in growth sectors. This serves as an excellent complement that avoids volatility and economic uncertainty. In this way, Banca March provides its clients with the opportunity to invest in strategies that would otherwise only be accessible to large investors. Since 2008, Grupo Banca March has committed over 3.9 billion euros in illiquid assets together with its clients, achieving a twofold return multiple on projects in the real economy. During this period, more than 3,900 co-investors have participated alongside the bank in various investments.
