Mutuactivos, S.A.U, SGIIC and Stoneweg launch their first private equity fund focused on the real estate sector. The vehicle, named Mutuafondo Hospitality, FCR, will invest in hotels as well as leisure assets linked to the hospitality industry, located in established tourist destinations in Spain and other Southern European countries such as Portugal and Italy.
Mutuactivos SGIIC will act as the fund manager and will be advised by Stoneweg Spain, an alternative investment firm specialized in real assets, with whom it has signed an advisory agreement. Grupo Mutua Madrileña and Stoneweg will participate in the fund, which is being launched with a target investment of €300 million.
Mutuactivos SGIIC will be responsible for managing the fund’s investments, as well as for risk control and management. Stoneweg, in turn, will advise on the identification of opportunities and on the design and structuring of investment and divestment transactions, also supporting the monitoring and follow-up of investments throughout their lifecycle.
Investments may be made both in existing assets and in buildings requiring refurbishment or conversion for hotel or leisure use. Regarding refurbishment, interventions will focus on three main areas: improved management to increase revenues and reduce costs; renovation or upgrading of the building itself; and changes in commercial positioning, adapted to the growing demand for personalized experiences from customers.
Luis Ussía, Chairman and CEO of Mutuactivos SGIIC, states that Mutuafondo Hospitality, FCR responds to the growing investor interest in private markets as a diversification tool and a way to enhance the risk-return profile of portfolios. “Real estate is currently one of the most attractive segments within alternative investments, particularly the hotel sector, where returns have been rising in recent years,” he notes.
“Spain and Southern Europe continue to consolidate their position as one of the most attractive and promising hotel markets in the continent due to several factors: global tourism leadership, steady growth in international demand, limited new supply in prime locations, and a high percentage of hotel stock in need of modernization. All of this continues to offer a clear window of opportunity for active investment strategies,” adds Ussía.
Joaquín Castellví, Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Stoneweg, highlights that “for Stoneweg Hospitality, this fund represents a natural step in our evolution and a new phase of investment in the hotel sector. After managing more than €1 billion in hotel assets over the past five years, we have demonstrated our ability to identify and transform opportunities with strong value creation potential.”
“The partnership with Mutuactivos significantly strengthens this vision: it combines their management rigor, institutional capabilities, and investor insight with our operational expertise in the hotel sector. We are confident that this collaboration will allow us to capture unique opportunities in a market that continues to show extraordinary attractiveness,” Castellví adds.
Mutuactivos, for its part, continues to strengthen its diversification strategy and the launch of new products aimed at expanding its offering of high-value solutions by capitalizing on market opportunities.
