Talenta launches its second private equity investment fund
Talenta, a wealth management firm based in Barcelona, has launched its second fund aimed at investing in Spanish private equity funds, which, in turn, invest in established companies looking to accelerate their growth.
The firm – chaired by Jordi Jofre and led by Carlos Cabanas – has registered the new vehicle in the Mercantile Registry under the name Masterspain II. It is still pending authorization from the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
"Our goal is to raise €10 million," says Jofre, who is confident of reaching this amount in the coming months. With this initiative, Talenta aims to offer its clients the opportunity to invest in a diversified manner across different Spanish private equity firms. The objective is to allocate capital to around ten funds over the next three years. This activity will be carried out alongside the first vehicle, Masterspain I, launched last year, which has so far secured €7 million out of the €10 million target.
The company expects strong interest from its clients, primarily family investment firms in Catalonia, and to a lesser extent, from Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
Jofre states that Talenta is in a strong position. In 2024, the firm closed the year with a total of €1.7 billion in assets under management, while revenue grew 29%, reaching €6.5 million. Founded in 2009, the company has a team of 29 employees, distributed between its Barcelona headquarters and offices in Valencia and Palma.
Among its key services, Talenta specializes in financial and tax advisory for high-net-worth families. Additionally, its alternative investment activity is experiencing significant growth.
In fact, Talenta also manages the Mastertech I, II, and III funds, which invest in technology companies. In total, these funds manage approximately €30 million. Jofre notes that the strong performance of these vehicles will lead the company to launch new funds – Mastertech IV and V – this summer, with a goal of managing €40 million. "Technology investments can generate strong returns, especially in the early stages of emerging companies," he says.
With this strategy, Talenta continues to position itself as a key player in wealth management and alternative investment in Spain, focusing on diversification and financial innovation.
