Aligrupo Business Opportunities has joined GED Capital, a private equity group that specializes in the lower-to-mid-market segment in Spain and Portugal. The Alicante-based group entered GED Capital through a capital increase offering a 25 percent stake in its capital in recent weeks. This move keeps the Aligrupo family office on a diversification path, investing in strategic sectors and developing partnerships with experienced and highly regarded partners.
Aligrupo chose to participate in the capital increase, which targeted a very small group of candidates close to GED Capital’s ecosystem and the manager’s funds, including the Alicante group. Alongside Aligrupo, several family offices took part in this controlled capital raise. The manager’s current partners also participated and continue to hold the majority of the capital.
Daniel Torregrosa, CEO of Aligrupo, explained that Aligrupo and GED have collaborated for years. Torregrosa believes GED’s line aligns fully with Aligrupo’s work and investment path, making the entry into the shareholding straightforward because “we share the same philosophy of work and the sensitivity to the same sectors where we focus our efforts.”
Aligrupo is a family office focused on wealth management with diversified activities across sectors. In its portfolio, Aligrupo participates in real estate development, the management of real estate assets of various nature, financial management, and corporate participation.
New Funds
This capital injection will strengthen GED Capital’s leadership position in the Spanish lower/mid-market segment. The new resources will be reinvested entirely in the business to ensure development and sustainable growth for the manager in the coming years.
The operation aims to scale the size of upcoming funds aligned with the current strategies, which will be raised in the coming months. Accordingly, a monothematic growth-capital fund focused on healthcare will be launched, together with a manager specialized in the industry.
In addition, new resources will be allocated to the manager’s corporate structure to support the growth plan and reinforce key areas such as investor relations, IT systems, ESG, legal advisory, and the investment teams themselves.
The capital increase is part of the firm’s expansion plan, intended to push its internationalization and the opening of new offices in selected European cities. This milestone will help the manager increase value creation for shareholders over time and sustainably.
GED Capital is distinguished by a diversified multi-asset strategy across three verticals: Private Equity, with Buyout, Healthcare, and Secondaries; Infrastructure, with private and public investment vehicles through European Structural and Investment Funds; and Venture Capital, with funds in Spain and Portugal focusing on startups and entrepreneurs driving technological and digital progress. These three activities, totaling over one billion euros under management, will be reinforced by the capital increase.
