Abante is an independent financial institution specialising in financial advice and asset management, both for individuals and companies, aligned with the long-term interests of its clients. The Abante Asesores group, set up in 2002, is made up of eight companies: a securities brokerage firm, two financial advisory firms (Abante was the first EAF registered in Spain), two collective investment institution management companies, a pension fund management company, an insurance broker and a company listed on the real estate market (socimi).
Abante’s benchmark portfolios closed a very good 2021, thanks to the position in quality companies of its funds, which have performed exceptionally well in a complicated year from a management point of view, in which there has been a lot of dispersion by geography, style and sector.
The firm closed a year that has been good in both absolute and relative terms for the two benchmark strategies: Abante Bolsa FI returned 26.50% and Abante Selección FI accumulated 12.84%. These two funds of funds, with a track record of almost 20 years (their first net asset value was in March 2002), have achieved an average annualised return over the last decade of 11% and 5.2%, respectively, exceeding the average revaluation target in their segment.
