Tirso de Linos: ‘The market will be more volatile, but there are opportunities.’
The Andbank fund selector took part in a meeting held at the Los Jerónimos Monastery, where the latest developments in the financial market and the performance of the UCAM University Fund were presented.
Tirso de Linos, fund selector at Andbank Wealth Management, gave a keynote speech on the global economic outlook to around forty members of the UCAM Business Club, gathered in the cloister of the Los Jerónimos Monastery, the headquarters of UCAM.
During his speech, De Linos highlighted the volatility that characterises the current economic environment, marked by ‘great uncertainty stemming from the tariff policies promoted by the US administration, which is affecting economic development in 2025’. In this regard, he pointed out the need to ‘continue adjusting analysis models to adapt to these new policies’.
Despite the complex context, the expert conveyed a message of moderate optimism: ‘We are positive about the future of the economic market, although we must accept greater volatility than we have experienced in the last two years’. He added that, although ‘we are experiencing a difficult year,’ there is also ‘a wider range of opportunities beyond the big technology companies, which have concentrated market interest in recent years and are now feeling the effects of uncertainty.’
Introduction of the UCAM University Fund
At the same event, the UCAM University Fund (ISIN: ES0180819015) was officially introduced to the businesspeople of the UCAM Business Club. This is an ethical and sustainable investment vehicle promoted by the University. The fund, inspired by the models of major US universities, aims to support university sports, scholarships for Olympic athletes, scientific research in health, nutrition and sport, and social action projects.
José Luis Mendoza García, UCAM Director of Institutional Relations, stressed that ‘the University is committed to creating leaders with a vocation for service to improve society. This fund guarantees the continuity of that commitment by investing in scholarships, infrastructure and projects with a social impact’.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the endowment, Eugenio López, stressed that “the UCAM University Fund carries inherent risks, like any investment fund, but it has been designed to generate attractive long-term returns by investing in assets that comply with the principles of good governance, sustainability and respect for human right’.
