Unicaja Banco has the Real Madrid Foundation Solidarity Mutual Fund (Class of the 'Liberbank Solidario, FI' Mutual Fund), a socially responsible mutual fund that will contribute financially to one of the Foundation's social projects, specifically the ‘Emprendeporte’ project, aimed at facilitating the social and employment reintegration of the long-term unemployed.
To this end, the fund manager will contribute 20% of the product’s management fee to collaborate in the development of the ‘Emprendeporte’ project, promoted by Real Madrid Foundation.
With this Solidarity Mutual Fund, Unicaja Banco intends to boost its socially responsible investment strategies, as part of its sustainable finance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
In this fund, in which it is possible to invest from six euros, socially responsible financial and investment criteria are applied to the choice of the assets that make up its portfolio: environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). Thus, this Solidarity Mutual Fund invests between 70% and 100% of its assets in other mutual funds that follow sustainability criteria.
The fund was presented at the Real Madrid City Auditorium by Real Madrid ambassador and former basketball player Felipe Reyes, Unicaja Banco’s Head of Cabinet, Ana Echenique, and the Bank’s Head of Private Banking and Asset Management, Miguel Ángel Martín-Albo, with the attendance of fifty customers of the institution.

‘Emprendeporte’ combines sports practice with the values of motivation for effort and self-improvement, respect, responsible autonomy, teamwork and the creation of healthy lifestyle habits to facilitate the integration of the long-term unemployed.
In this regard, Felipe Reyes highlighted the importance of the Real Madrid Foundation’s projects, which use sport ‘as a tool for social integration’, making it possible to transform the lives of many people.
Ana Echenique remarked ‘Unicaja Banco’s commitment to improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable groups, within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility work’, highlighting the ten years of collaboration with the Real Madrid Foundation.
Likewise, Miguel Ángel Martín-Albo underscored ‘the growing interest of our clients and investors in this type of products, which has been created, in the case of the Solidarity Mutual Fund, for all those people who are wish, through their investment, to contribute to improving the lives of those most in need’.
JP Morgan Asset Management also participated in the event, giving a talk on markets and investment.
Improving people’s quality of life
In the last year, Unicaja Banco, through the Solidarity Mutual Funds of the Fundación Cajastur, Fundación Caja Extremadura Foundation and Fundación Caja Cantabria, has contributed to various social actions of institutions such as the Red Cross of Extremadura, Cocina Económica de Santander or the Instituto Universitario de Oncología del Principado de Asturias (IUOPA), with the aim of improving people's quality of life.
Unicaja Banco is the official bank of Real Madrid since last season and has been collaborating since 2012 with the Real Madrid Foundation to achieve some of these projects for the integration of socially disadvantaged groups through sports, both in socio-sports schools and through programmes in prisons.
Every season, the Real Madrid Foundation carries out education, development cooperation and integration projects in more than 80 countries with more than 70,000 beneficiaries. In addition to the 'Emprendeporte' program, in Spain it also runs socio-sports schools for integration and inclusion through sport.
