A benchmark in innovation applied to wealth management in Europe

With the Best Private Bank for Innovation in Europe 2026 award, CaixaBank Wealth Management revalidates a recognition obtained in 2025 and reinforces its position as a benchmark in innovation applied to wealth management. The award recognises a strategy that combines the transformation of the advisory model, the incorporation of new technological capabilities and the responsible use of artificial intelligence to improve the experience of customers and managers.

Among the most outstanding initiatives is the GPS Advisory Service, deployed for all CaixaBank Wealth Management customers, which allows the bank's strategic vision to be transferred in an agile and personalised way, incorporating scenario analysis, suitability checks and greater transparency in recommendations. As of September 2026, the Advisory GPS service had more than 10,000 active customers and €2 billion in assets under management.

In 2026, CaixaBank expanded this service with a range of four funds managed by CaixaBank Asset Management, which combines the bank's internal capabilities with the specialisation of leading international managers. The range includes two equity funds with a differential model MultiAdvisor: Advisory GPS European Equity, advised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and BlackRock, and Advisory GPS US Equity, advised by Franklin Templeton's Capital Group and Putnam Investments. They are joined by two fixed-income funds, Advisory GPS Flexible Bond and Advisory GPS Euro 1-3 Duration Bond, the latter advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Management.

The range allows CaixaBank's strategic vision and investment capabilities to be combined with the talent and specialisation of global managers, incorporating complementary investment approaches and styles to offer customers greater diversification, sophistication and personalisation in the construction of their portfolios.

Advisory GPS has been made possible by the evolution of the GPS platform (Global Portfolio Strategy), developed together with BlackRock Aladdin© Wealth, which allows investment proposals to be directly connected to their execution, reducing administrative burdens and operational risks. Currently, 100% of the investment proposals generated by managers are made through this tool.
