With more than 1.2 billion euros in equities, MAPFRE Asset Management has positioned itself as one of the best firms among the national fund managers operating outside of Spain. Following the path to recovery, and with a view to extending its client offering, the MAPFRE Group's asset management unit has launched new clean classes for all its funds along with institutional classes for specific vehicles.

In this way, MAPFRE AM has oriented the new line of clean classes toward all Spanish product ranges—with the exception of all guaranteed products and some more specific ones—and aimed it at certain clients, such as MAPFRE Group companies and institutional and professional investors. The classes will also be available for collective investment institutions and pension funds, among others.

In addition, the institutional classes include a list of selected funds and will be available for amounts exceeding 100,000 euros. Specifically, this includes the profiled range (Fondmapfre Elección Prudente, Moderada and Decidida) along with Fondmapfre Global and Fondmapfre Rentadólar. The objective of this second class is to provide the Group with a complete product offering for institutional clients.

Markets showing signs of doubt before year end but are still at record levels

November was a volatile month for financial markets, as they dealt with the longest U.S. government shutdown in history, concerns about the valuations reached in companies linked to Artificial Intelligence, and sudden changes in the expectation of a further interest rate cut by the Fed. Returns were flat or slightly positive in equity markets.

Lessons from 2025 That Will Guide Our Investment Decisions in 2026

No investor would deny that 2025 has been a “lively” year. Tariffs, interest-rate cuts, and questions about a potential artificial-intelligence “bubble” have dominated headlines in recent months. Even so, 2025 will also be remembered as a year of transition and adjustment.

Central banks will be decisive in shaping market trends in 2026

High stock market valuations and the concentration of gains, especially in the technology sector, dominate much of the analysis, although MAPFRE's experts point to another crucial factor: central bank policy. With the Fed facing another rate cut and a likely change in its chairmanship, and a European Central Bank that could take the opposite path if economic growth exceeds expectations, monetary policy could be decisive in the currency, bond, and equity markets.
