Summary
The agreement expands Inveready's alternatives platform considerably. The firm currently manages over €2.5 billion in assets under management and operates across venture capital, life sciences, venture debt, strategic public equity, private equity, and infrastructure. The addition of private debt as a dedicated asset class strengthens Inveready's product depth within the high-conviction Spanish alternative investment ecosystem. According to Josep María Echarri, CEO of Inveready, the partnership aligns with the firm's strategy of "broadening our value proposition and product offering, continuing to grow in attractive niches within the alternative investment market in Spain."
Terram Capital, founded by Ignacio Novela, launched its initial €100 million fund in 2023 with backing from the Atitlan group, which will continue as a financial investor in the new vehicle. The Inveready partnership provides Terram Capital with enhanced institutional distribution and scaled access to new capital sources. Novela emphasized that "the agreement with Inveready will provide access to new institutional investors," a critical competitive advantage for the emerging platform.
Structurally, Andbank has entered into a co-investment agreement with Terram Inveready Credit Partners, contingent on internal committee approvals. This partnership positions Andbank as a co-investment vehicle for transactions sourced and led by the new platform, providing transaction-level capital support and institutional participation. The arrangement underscores confidence in the fund's investment thesis and operational execution capability.
The timing reflects private debt's maturation as a core alternative asset class. Both firms recognize sustained growth momentum and institutional demand for differentiated credit solutions, particularly in the Spanish market where private debt penetration remains below Northern European benchmarks, presenting significant whitespace for first-mover positioning.
