Laura de Palacio at Private Equity Insights

Last Friday, our colleague from the Investment Team, Laura de Palacio Aragón, moderated the panel “Best Investment Strategies in a Dynamic Environment” at the Private Equity Insights Iberian Conference, held in Madrid.

Alongside Cristóbal de Castro (Quest Capital), Ivan Plaza Férriz (Aurica Capital), Jose Maria Garcia-Pont (PAI Mid-Market) and Eric Halverson (Qualitas), the panel shared views on how investors are navigating today’s environment and the opportunities ahead for the Iberian mid-market.

A few takeaways:

🔹 Iberia stands out as one of the most attractive regions to invest in Europe, with significant opportunities to partner with family-owned businesses
🔹 Buy-and-build and internationalisation remain powerful levers for Iberian companies
🔹 The mid-market continues to offer resilient, attractive opportunities for disciplined investors

Thank you to Private Equity Insights for the invitation and the excellent organisation, and to our fellow panellists for a great discussion.
