PGIM Private Capital opens Madrid office
MADRID, 11 May 2021 – PGIM Private Capital has opened a new Madrid office as it continues to provide private capital solutions for its partners and generate attractive returns for investors. PGIM Private Capital is a leading source of private debt for public and private companies and is the private capital arm of PGIM, the $1.5 trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU).
The opening of the PGIM Private Capital’s Madrid office marks PGIM’s first Spanish office presence. “Our Spanish portfolio has grown significantly in recent years, and we have established numerous borrower relationships in Spain,” said Joshua Shipley, managing director at PGIM Private Capital. As one of the first financial institutions to offer private placement and mezzanine financing in Europe, PGIM Private Capital has invested more than €1.3 billion in Spain, including more than €1.0 billion invested since 2018.
“We look forward to continuing our investment focus in Spain, including growing the global presence of our real assets and alternatives platforms,” said Jose Ortiz, vice president at PGIM Private Capital and head of the Madrid office. Recently, PGIM Private Capital’s direct lending team provided €50 million to Grupo Secuoya, a leading provider of outsourcing services and audiovisual content to television networks in Spain and Latin America. “Our presence in Madrid is a critical component to our global investment strategy, allowing us to promote our expertise in Iberian industries, market conditions, trends, and customs,” added Ortiz.
The decision to open a new office in Madrid was a logical step in strengthening PGIM Private Capital’s global origination network. “Opening our Madrid office complements our existing European footprint in London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Milan, which will further support our long-term commitment to building real relationships with our partners,” said Marie Fioramonti, executive managing director and head of PGIM Private Capital’s corporate finance originations. “Our regional office network enables us to stay close to our partners and build new meaningful relationships, which has helped us achieve strong global origination activity even through times of market volatility and global uncertainty.”
“As PGIM’s inaugural presence in Spain, we are pleased to establish a local office in Madrid and strengthen our vast global origination network,” added Ortiz. Initially, the new office will house three investment professionals, with room for further expansion.
