Category "1" does not mean that the investment is risk-free.

In difficult times, family-owned businesses are the best survivors.

What is it?

The Family Businesses Fund invested in family-owned listed companies from around the world.

From companies owned by a single family, who take a hands-on approach to the business and who intend on handing over control to future generations, Banca March selects high-quality companies that represent an attractive option, have strong foundations and special features that help them to stand out from their competitors. In short, family business that represent a good opportunity.

This fund does not follow any benchmark: its sectoral and regional distribution depends on the manager's selection of securities and, under no circumstances, the composition of the index.

This active management approach means that investments are only made in companies that we believe will generate wealth in the long term.

Why invest?

The intrinsic value of family-owned companies (their long-term vision, loyalty, motivation, low level of indebtedness, etc.) make them a reliable bet at times of economic crises, a feature that we aim to include in our fund. The experience of the Banca March Group, the only 100% family-owned Spanish bank, with its long and successful history, are a testament to this approach.
