Finaccess México
Finaccess México was founded by Carlos Fernández González, former CEO of Grupo Modelo, alongside the González Diez family. Their wealth originates from the iconic Mexican brewer, and the firm serves as the primary vehicle for deploying that legacy across public and private markets. Chairman Luis Cervantes Coste leads the Mexican operation from Mexico City, while CEO José Parés Gutiérrez oversees Finaccess Capital and chairs AmRest, giving the group a direct operating-company angle in European restaurants. The firm runs a shelf of AXES-branded mutual funds spanning short-, medium-, and long-duration Mexican sovereign and corporate debt, passive and active local equity via ETFs, and international strategies including the AXES GLO, AXES USA, and AXES ESG funds. Beyond liquid markets, Finaccess has established a material real estate footprint through a joint venture with Stoneshield Capital in Spain and a stake in Madrid-listed Inmobiliaria Colonial SOCIMI. The platform distributes third-party funds from Franklin Templeton, Santander, and Scotiabank, functioning as both a proprietary manager and a retail gatekeeper for global asset managers in Mexico. Finaccess operates through entities in Mexico City, Madrid, and Miami. The Madrid office — Finaccess Value — drives the European real asset strategy, while the Miami unit manages a separate advisory AUM pool. Carlos Fernández González participates in YPO and was named a World Economic Forum Global Leader of Tomorrow in 2000, reflecting the family's sustained integration with international business networks. The firm participates in Mexico's AMIB regulatory committees and the Consejo Consultivo de Finanzas Verdes, reinforcing ties to local policy and sustainable finance circles. What distinguishes Finaccess is its hybrid architecture: it is simultaneously the manager of a major Mexican industrial fortune, a regulated mutual-fund operator for retail and institutional clients, and a cross-border real estate principal in Europe. Few Latin American family vehicles operate with that degree of regulatory and product-market depth across three jurisdictions without adopting a pure multi-family office structure.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Finaccess México?
Carlos Fernández González, the founder and former CEO of Grupo Modelo, leads Grupo Finaccess as CEO. José Parés Gutiérrez oversees Finaccess Capital and chairs AmRest, while Luis Cervantes Coste chairs the board of the Mexican entity. The firm does not publicly detail its investment committee structure, but the González Diez family remains closely involved as shareholders.
Is Finaccess México structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
It functions as a regulated asset manager, not a single-family office or venture firm. The platform runs a full suite of publicly available mutual funds under the AXES brand and distributes third-party products. However, its capital base traces back to the González Diez family wealth from Grupo Modelo, giving it the funding permanence of a family office while operating under Mexican securities regulation.
How is Finaccess related to AmRest and Inmobiliaria Colonial?
José Parés Gutiérrez, CEO of Finaccess Capital, serves as Chairman of AmRest, the European multi-brand restaurant operator. Finaccess also holds a stake in Inmobiliaria Colonial SOCIMI, a Madrid-listed commercial real estate company, and operates a Spanish mixed-use joint venture with Stoneshield Capital. These connections embed the firm directly in European operating businesses and property, beyond its Mexican fund-management core.
Does Finaccess participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Finaccess acts as a direct manager of its own AXES mutual funds and also distributes third-party funds from managers such as Franklin Templeton, Santander, and Scotiabank. On the real estate side, the firm takes direct principal positions — notably through its Colonial stake and the Stoneshield Capital JV — rather than committing solely as an LP to external real asset funds.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originated from Grupo Modelo, the Mexican brewer of Corona, which was sold to Anheuser-Busch InBev. Carlos Fernández González served as CEO of Grupo Modelo and is a member of the González Diez family that controlled the company. Finaccess was established to manage those proceeds.
Does Finaccess maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
The group operates several philanthropic vehicles, including Finaccess Filantropía A.C., Finaccess Social, Fundación Antonino y Cinia, and Fundación Beca. These are legally distinct from the asset-management entities but sit within the same family ecosystem, focusing on social and educational initiatives in Mexico.
What investment stages and geographies does Finaccess typically target?
The firm's liquid strategies target Mexican government and corporate debt, Mexican equities, and global stocks through separately managed mandates and funds like AXES GSP and AXES EDM, which focuses on European equities. Its real estate activity concentrates on Spain, particularly Madrid, with a preference for mature, income-producing commercial assets through entities like Inmobiliaria Colonial.
