Sabadell has launched a €150M fund to invest in growth projects in foreign markets. Of the €150M, €50M will be provided by Sabadell and the rest by family offices and institutional investors. It has also increased capital to buy TSB.

Aurica capital development

This fund is owned by Aurica Capital Development, formerly Sabadell Solbank investment which was bought by Sabadell from the bank Lloyds Spain in 2013.

 Sadabell will change the legal status of the management company from a Sociedad Gestora de Instituciones de Inversión Colectiva (SGIIC) to a Sociedad Gestora de Entidades de Inversión Colectiva de tipo Cerrado (SGEICC), as established by the new Spanish private equity regulations.

After selling the shares it controlled in Comsa Emte, Telstar and Eurofragance, Aurica XXI - which had resources of 150 million in this last phase - now holds a portfolio of four investees: Intermas Nets (20%), Saria Bio Industries (under 10%), Luxiona (20%) and France's Laboratoires Uriage (5%).

Sabadell increases capital by 1.6 billion to buy TSB

Sabadell has bought a 9.9% stake in the British bank.or TSB to its main shareholder Lloyds. In addition Lloyds grants it an option to acquire the remaining shares before 2016.

The capital increase will be realised irrespective of whether the purchase option is realised or not.

Sabadell's board of directors has also recently appointed José Manuel Lara García as a new director of the bank. The co-opted appointment as an independent director will serve to fill the position of his father, José Manuel Lara Bosch, who passed away last January.

Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
