Openbank, the digital bank of Santander, has chosen Upvest as its infrastructure provider to go live with an investment offering in Germany and Europe! 🚀 Starting with stocks and ETFs in Germany, the partnership lays the foundation for a broader asset rollout in the future. This strategic shift allows Openbank to expand and modernise its existing offering, benefiting from Upvest’s API-based infrastructure. Based on Upvest’s broad asset scope (incl. fractions from 1 Euro) and its fully localised functionality, Openbank is able to be competitive from day one. The migration of Openbank’s investment products to Upvest marks a major vote of confidence in Upvest’s enterprise readiness and its ability to support some of Europe’s largest financial institutions.

Last week Carmo Companies hosted the Iberian Private Markets Meeting, gathering more than 150 senior institutional investors, family offices, and alternative investment professionals to discuss the latest opportunities in private markets. It was a pleasure to join the panel “The State of Real Estate and Real Assets in Southern Europe & Beyond”, alongside leading industry experts Luis Mota Duarte, João Bugalho, Pedro Coelho and Joseph von Maltzahn, moderated by João Carlos Pinto Coelho. The discussion highlighted: - The growing attractiveness of Portugal for investors, both in the residential and commercial real estate markets. - The rising importance of the Iberian market, positioned as the second most appealing destination after the UK for international capital allocation. - The strong momentum of the Portuguese real estate investment market, which is on track to potentially reach €3 billion in transaction volume by the end of 2025, a milestone not seen in many years. - Foreign investment remains dominant, representing over 90% of total volume, with core and value-add strategies accounting for more than 70%. - Retail and Hospitality continue to attract significant attention (around 50% and 25% of volumes respectively), but other sectors such as Offices, Industrial & Logistics and Data Centers are also showing strong dynamism. - Yields have stabilized after last year’s compression, with a trend of yields going down and rents going up, mostly in Offices. At Dils we are proud to see Portugal gaining recognition as a prime destination for private capital and look forward to continuing to contribute to this positive trajectory. #DILS #PrivateMarkets #RealEstate #Portugal #Investment

Alantra, Generali, PAI Partners, and Draycott map out Iberia’s next phase of private equity. Alantra CEO Gonzalo de Rivera y García de Leániz underlined how Iberia’s fundamentals provide an edge within Europe. The region has consistently outpaced Eurozone GDP growth, with Spain forecast at 2.5–2.7% compared to roughly 1% across the bloc. Defence, once peripheral, has moved into sharper focus as governments boost spending. While many investors face restrictions on direct exposure to arms manufacturers, opportunities are proliferating in adjacent sectors such as services, technology, and cybersecurity. As Generali’s Diego Alaimo noted, the preference is for “companies that provide services to such kind of businesses,” avoiding direct exposure while still tapping the sector’s growth.
