10 | Investment Excellence Awards 2026 Best Collective Investment Entity Management Company 2026 – Spain “We are drawn to situations where complexity can create opportunity and where our experience, flexibility, and network can help unlock value that may not be immediately visible to the market.” GuideBridge was created in 2013 with the aim of generating, executing, and monitoring opportunities for TPG, now Sixth Street Partners, in the special situations segment. The independent investment management firm specialises in private equity and special situations, working closely with institutional investors, family offices, and other professional investors, as well as with companies, asset owners, and financial institutions navigating complex capital, liquidity, or restructuring situations. Highly selective in its endeavours, GuideBridge focuses solely on opportunities where it can identify a clear underlying value and see a credible path to value creation. Its team has built decade-long relationships with the main banks, family offices, international funds, insolvency administrators, developers, servicers, and SOCIMIs throughout Spain, driving its ability to originate off-market investment opportunities. At its core, GuideBridge is a relationshipbased firm. It places great importance on the power of building long-term relationships with clients, and works tirelessly to ensure that its interests remain fully aligned with those of its investors and partners. This requires the team to maintain transparency and open communication, with significant emphasis placed upon keeping clients well informed, being accessible when needed, and providing a clear perspective on both opportunities and risks. “We want our investors to feel that we are on the same side of the table, sharing both the ambition to generate attractive returns and the responsibility of protecting capital,” Fernando told us. “Ultimately, we measure the quality of our client service not only by investment outcomes, but by the trust we build over time. Our ambition is to develop enduring partnerships in which investors value not only our investment expertise, but also the transparency, commitment, and consistency with which we work.” As an independent investment manager, GuideBridge has the unrivalled ability to offer a highly personalised relationship to its clients. This flexibility enables the team to remain close to investors, respond to their specific needs, and maintain an open dialogue throughout the investment process. This combination of institutional rigour and personal proximity is a rare feat in this landscape, but serves as one of the key elements of GuideBridge’s service proposition. 2026 has been an important year for GuideBridge, marked by the establishment of new investment vehicles and the launch of new investment initiatives. Representing an important step for the firm, these new funds will allow the team to pursue new investment opportunities and address a broader range of situations, whilst continuing to apply the discipline, flexibility, and focus on capital preservation that have come to define GuideBridge. This coming year promises a period of new challenges, but also significant opportunities for GuideBridge to continue learning, investing, and creating value. For the remainder of 2026, GuideBridge will maintain its focus on identifying and executing attractive investment opportunities, whilst further strengthening its relationships with investors, financial institutions, and its wider network of partners. At the same time, the firm will continue to develop its capabilities and processes, particularly in the fields of data, technology, and the ways in which its team originates and assesses opportunities. Beyond 2026, GuideBridge intends to continue evolving as an independent investment manager, with a focus on selectively expanding its investment capabilities and exploring new opportunities where it believes its team can deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns for its customers. The firm sees significant opportunities in the private equity and special situations space, particularly as changing financing conditions and an increasingly complex economic environment continue to create situations where flexible capital and specialist expertise can add true value. Growth for the sake of growth, however, will never be an objective in itself. “Our ambition is to continue growing GuideBridge in a measurable and sustainable way, while remaining true to the investment discipline and entrepreneurial approach that define us,” Fernando concluded. “We intend to build on our momentum through new investments, stronger partnerships, and the continued development of our capabilities. We believe these new initiatives will provide a solid foundation for GuideBridge to grow sustainably while remaining faithful to the principles that have guided us from the beginning.” Contact: Fernando Magnet O’Dogherty Company: GuideBridge SGEIC, S.
