About us
In 2013, Eduard Navarro founded Net de Gerrers and received the firm’s initial mandate from its anchor client, a preeminent U.S. institutional investor with ~ $1.5 billion AuM in real assets. The objective was to capitalize upon the disruptions in the Spanish real estate market, which were attributable to the country’s economic crisis. On behalf of NdG’s original capital partner, Mr. Navarro acquired Atocha 55, the iconic residential building in the heart of Madrid.
During the subsequent years, Mr. Navarro has expanded the firm´s platform beyond real estate by building a team of seasoned investment professionals with backgrounds in infrastructure, venture capital and private equity. The team, which enjoys a collegial culture, possesses an entrepreneurial DNA.
Within each investment strategy, we seek to identify opportunistic projects, which possess catalysts for value realization. As an advisor to global institutions allocating capital to the Spanish-speaking market, we identify investment opportunities, conduct due diligence, and facilitate private negotiations to ensure that each project aligns with precise client guidelines. Our in-depth local knowledge and network of long-standing regional relationships are the foundation of the firm´s information advantage.
Our vision
Net de Gerrers provides a cultural bridge for U.S. and UK investors seeking to allocate capital to the Spanish-speaking world. On behalf of our partners, we minimize the complexities of investing in this dynamic region. We afford an information advantage, which is based upon in-depth local knowledge and a network of long-standing relationships throughout these geographies. “Sustainable competitive advantage” is the hallmark of our investment decision making process. It guides our thinking in the search for unique opportunities possessing catalysts for value creation. Importantly as an active investor, we offer mission-critical operational support to ensure the success of each project.
Diversity & inclusion
Net de Gerrers recognizes that diversity in the workplace is a mission-critical asset for our firm, our clients, and our employees. We have a unique opportunity to build an organization that fosters workplace priorities such as collegiality and creativity while contributing to a more open, diverse and inclusive society.
We are convinced that diversity yields many advantages such as increased profitability, stronger governance and better problem-solving. These benefits accrue to us from a combination of workplace priorities intended to promote collaboration and courage.
Importantly, NdG’s commitment to these principles enhances our ability to recruit qualified people who value a workplace culture that emphasizes innovation and creativity as well as productivity. Our ability to attract and retain such people benefits the firm’s reputation and enhances our competitive advantage.
Company values
1. Cultural bridge
We bridge the cultural barriers which institutional investors typically encounter while allocating capital to private real estate, infrastructure, and venture capital projects in Spain and Latin America. Importantly, the firm shares the global perspective of our clients while serving as a local advisor at the point of investment.
2. Independent thought
Active operational management and support is a crucial component to realizing each asset’s potential. NdG enjoys an extensive network of regional relationships, which allows us to opportunistically source off-market investments. Our local presence enables the investment teams to conduct informed due diligence, structure transactions, coordinate joint venture partners, and formulate realistic exit strategies based upon value creation rather than financial engineering.
3. Operational capability
Our investment teams include professionals, who have extensive financial and executive experience in a real estate, infrastructure and venture capital. Their operational and executive experience as well as their specialized industry knowledge enables us to carefully analyze on behalf of our investors each prospective transaction.
4. Discipline and delivery
Understanding the importance of communications with our clients is vital to long-lasting successful relationships. Accordingly, Net de Gerrers has established timely and transparent reporting systems which fulfill the compliance and regulatory requirements of global institutional investors.
