Abante Asesores
Abante Asesores is a Madrid multi-family office founded in 2001 by Santiago Satrústegui and partners.
Abante Asesores
Abante Asesores was established in 2001 by three former AB Asesores partners. The founders built the firm on their financial-services experience as an independent partnership. The firm deploys capital across direct co-investments, fund-of-funds commitments, infrastructure and private equity. Confirmed vehicles include Abante Private Equity II, Mapfre Infraestructuras FCR and McWin Food Tech Fund I. Activity centers on Europe with exposure to energy transition, food technology and healthcare services. The team maintains one headquarters in Madrid. Gadea de la Viuda also directs Fundación Abante. Santiago Satrústegui serves as president of EFPA Spain. Ownership includes a 20 percent holding by Mapfre, creating a hybrid structure that pairs family-office clients with an insurance partner.
