3. Presentation Solventis A.V. is an independent financial group registered with the Spanish
Securities Authorities (CNMV) under registration number 244.
Solventis was established in 2002 by a team of professionals with
backgrounds in different areas of the investment banking sector. Solventis
represents a new concept in the financial service sector, as is evidenced by
its governing principles:
Diligence. Contrary to the slow response of organizations which, owing to
their size, cannot make dynamic decisions. This is particularly relevant in
the financial sector which is linked to highly volatile conditions as we have
seen over the past few years.
Specialization. Unlike other more globally-oriented organizations, Solventis
focuses on very specific aspects of the financial area. The extensive expertise
of its team, with an average of over 20 years of experience in the industry,
allows it to take on projects which would be complex for other companies,
with maximum prospects of success.
Commitment. As a service provider, the added value offered by Solventis is
based on its human capital. This is why the company’s executives are strongly
linked to its corporate capital, hence guaranteeing excellent quality of service.
Solventis undertakes its activities within four main business areas:
· Corporate Finance
· Financial Consulting
· Asset Management
· Brokerage
4. Our Values Alignment of Interests. The first clients of our products are the Solventis
shareholders themselves. Only what is good enough for us is good enough
for our clients.
Transparency. At Solventis we strive to establish long-term relations based on
trust with our clients and being transparent is inherent to our philosophy.
Experience. The Solventis team has over twenty years of experience in
investment management services for financial institutions, at both national
and international level.
Independence. Since our company does not belong to a financial group that
could condition its decisions or opinions. Solventis capital is entirely in the
hands of its executives.
Proximity.The service offered by Solventis is based on a proximity approach
towards our clients. At Solventis we consider it essential to get to know
the client; thus, knowing your client well enables you to design the tailor-
made service they deserve.
Stability. Team stability is one of the key elements at Solventis. The
shareholding connection of its executives guarantees such stability, so
that clients do not suffer the inconveniences of constant changes in
business strategy or contact person.
