Talde Group holds its annual Meeting with good expectations for the coming years

Throughout last week, Talde Group has held meetings of the different investment funds and their management boards. Talde group participates in 18 business groups with a total of more than 2,600 employees and a turnover of more than 900 million euros.

The General Partner was created as a result of the new legal regulations that arose at the beginning of 1999 and currently has three equity investment vehicles and one debt ELTIF with a total of around 400 million euros under management. Talde is a signatory of UN PRI and is therefore committed to incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into its investment activity following the guidelines of the United Nations and European legislation.

All the vehicles under management are developing favorably and are expected to outperform the sector average recently published by Spaincap.

Talde Capital Crecimiento, F.C.R. fund, which is currently in the divestment period, has already made its first two divestments, whereby the unitholders have recovered 80% of their investments. With the third divestment, currently underway, it will exceed 100%, with four other investees with good prospects still in the portfolio.

Talde Deuda Alternativa, ELTIF, through which companies are financed in the medium and long term and which had a complicated start due to the abundance of liquidity as a result of the measures adopted to combat the effects of Covid, is currently in full activity, expecting to close five to seven new operations in the coming months.

This instrument has proven to be very useful for the company, since it is considered as quasi-capital, it is cheaper than capital, and it allows to have long-term financing for the company.
