Over the past decade, it has doubled its assets under management thanks to active management and specialised advisory services.

Bankinter Asset Management is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary as one of the leading asset management firms in the Spanish market, with €32.5 billion in assets under management, a range of more than 75 proprietary funds and a leading position in attracting savings and investment. The entity currently holds the sixth position among asset managers in Spain.
As part of the anniversary celebration, Bankinter Asset Management held an event with customers at the Bank’s headquarters to commemorate these four decades of achievements and to share its successful track record and its outlook for the financial markets.
An track record that demonstrates the soundness of a model based on active management and specialised customer advisory services. Assets under management (including investment funds and pension funds, SICAVs and managed portfolios) amounted to €31 billion at the end of 2025, compared to almost €15 billion in 2015, representing more than a twofold increase in assets under management over the course of a decade (2015–2025). Currently, the firm's assets under management exceed €32.5 billion.
With regard to investment funds, the asset manager has recorded an average annual growth of 26% over the past three years, compared to the 14% experienced by the industry as a whole. Notably, in 2025, Bankinter Asset Management was the second asset manager with the highest net inflows in the Spanish market, according to Inverco, with €2.868 billion attracted. This figure represents nearly 19% of all new money that entered the Spanish investment fund industry during the year.
Bankinter Asset Management currently offers a range comprising more than 75 proprietary funds registered with the CNMV, with a presence in the main international markets and strategies covering fixed income, equity, mixed funds, emerging market, megatrends and sustainability. The firm also provides investors with more than 150 share classes, tailored to different risk profiles, time horizons and wealth levels.
The breadth of this range makes it possible to cater for virtually all investment profiles within a single product family. Fund such as the Platea, Premium, or Flexible Mixed ranges are part of a product architecture designed to meet customers’ needs in different market environments, from the most conservative investors to those with a higher tolerance to risk.
Four decades accompanying the industry's transformation
The history of the asset management company began in 1986 under the name Gesbankinter, in a financial context very different from today's. At that time, Spanish ten-year government bonds provided profitability above 13%, and the Spanish investment fund industry managed only slightly more than €3 billion. Forty years on, assets under management across the sector as a whole surpass €450 billion.
The evolution of Bankinter Asset Management has mirrored this transformation. From initially focusing on the management of Spanish public debt, the firm has progressively expanded its scope of activity to now cover the main international markets, including Europe, the United States, Japan and emerging economies, as well as themed strategies linked to major investment trends and sustainability.
The celebration of this anniversary comes amid a profound transformation of the investment fund market in Spain. Guaranteed products, which once accounted for nearly 30% of the industry, now represent just around 4% of assets under management. At the same time, the number of funds available on the market has declined markedly compared to the peak reached in 2007, while average management fees have dropped significantly over the past twenty years.
Against this backdrop, active management, the ability to adapt to different market cycles and the creation of personalised solutions for each investor have become key differentiators for generating long-term value. Based on these principles, Bankinter Asset Management has, over this time, developed a model that combines specialisation, diversification and a close relationship with customers.
With four decades of experience, the asset management company is entering a new stage, underpinned by a solid position in the Spanish market, a wide range of products and an ability to adapt that has enabled it to grow alongside investors and keep pace with the evolution of the financial markets.
