Active Compass
Active Compass was established in 2011 by Luis de la Infiesta and Javier de la Infiesta. The founders brought experience from Merrill Lynch, UBS, Banco Santander and Gómez-Acebo & Pombo Abogados. The firm operates as an independent EAFI registered with the CNMV under number 64 and provides wealth structuring to families without proprietary product conflicts. Asset allocation covers private credit, private equity and real estate. The firm targets growth-stage opportunities and maintains exposure in Europe, North America and South America. It coordinates execution and reporting through external managers while retaining oversight of overall policy and risk limits. No specific portfolio holdings appear in public records. The team includes Carlos López-Montoya as Chief Investment Officer and Javier Rosino as Senior Partner. Additional analysts support monitoring and reporting. The firm participates in the Spanish Financial Forum Luxembourg and the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg. No dated operational events from the last 24 months are recorded in available sources. Active Compass maintains a fee-only model that ties compensation solely to advisory work performed. Clients retain direct control of accounts at all times. This structure separates the firm from product providers and limits regulatory or reputational risk exposure through ongoing monitoring of third-party relationships.
