Buenavista Equity Partners, an independent management firm founded in 1996 and operating in the low mid-market segment, announced today that its fund, Buenavista Buyout Innvierte III, has received support from Fond-ICO Global in the form of a commitment of up to €75 million. This institutional backing further strengthens Buenavista’s position and demonstrates the confidence placed in the firm by public institutions to deploy investment.
Buenavista Buyout Innvierte III was established in 2025 with a target size of €250 million. The fund aims to invest in majority stakes in Spanish companies with strong growth and internationalisation potential, focusing on sectors such as healthcare, industry, services and food. It seeks to drive qualitative improvements, particularly in relation to digitalisation and generative AI, while pursuing further expansion through a buy-and-build strategy.
Building on the approach that underpinned the success of its two predecessors, this fund aims to construct a more diversified portfolio, comprising between eight and ten investments, and to increase its capacity to carry out add-on acquisitions.
Enrique Centelles Satrústegui, Head of Private Equity at Buenavista Equity Partners, commented: “We are very proud that our Buyout team has earned the trust of Fond-ICO Global to continue implementing our strategy with their support. Thanks to this public-private collaboration, we will continue to foster the growth and internationalisation of Spanish companies, helping them reach the next stage of their development.”
Sector leaders and international expansión
Designed as a strategic vehicle with a pan-European presence, Buenavista Buyout Innvierte III aims to create robust and sustainable platforms capable of competing internationally. The fund’s objective is to identify and drive Spanish companies with significant growth potential by acquiring majority stakes in well-positioned businesses that can lead sector consolidation, transforming them into segment leaders and supporting their international expansion.
The fund is positioned in the low to mid-market segment, where Buenavista Equity Partners has demonstrated strong capabilities in sourcing proprietary deals and delivering distinctive value creation. Remaining true to its buy-and-build approach, this vehicle continues to drive inorganic growth as a key lever for value generation.
In this regard, the fund has already completed two transactions. The first, Hundred Burgers, a Valencia-based burger chain, will enable the company to continue its national and international growth plans alongside its founders. The second investment was the acquisition of Instituto Bernabeu, through portfolio company Eugin, to create the second largest fertility group in Spain.
