Bankinter has become the first Spanish bank to launch an investment fund focused on the industry that will develop the metaverse

The prestigious manager Edmond de Rothschild AM has designed a global and multi-sector fund for the bank, to cover investor demand in the face of the new technological revolution that the metaverse will bring.

The fund focusses on assets that go beyond the purely technological and immediate aspects of this new dimension and targets securities in sectors with medium-term potential.

The fund is launched not only for Private Banking investors, but for all types of assets, since investments from €100 and over can be made.

The tool was originally created under the auspices of Private Banking, in collaboration with Bankinter Wealth Management, as a training forum for bankers, but is now available to investors in order to provide knowledge about megatrends.
