BBVA partners with Premialab to enhance the global visibility of its quantitative investment strategies (QIS)

BBVA strengthens its strategy for institutional clients by joining Premialab, a leading platform for the analysis and comparison of quantitative strategies from major global investment banks, enhancing transparency and access to its QIS solutions.

BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), through its Global Markets QIS team, has announced its incorporation into Premialab, the leading independent platform for quantitative analytics and systematic investment strategies for institutional clients.

In this context, the bank will add its suite of rule-based solutions to the platform and leverage Premialab’s advanced analytics capabilities, including its Pure Factors framework, to independently assess performance and risk characteristics.

For clients, this translates into access to the full BBVA GM QIS suite, including equity strategies such as thematic and smart beta; systematic asset allocation; and alternative risk premia. These solutions are designed to generate additional returns or act as efficient hedging tools (overlays) for traditional portfolios. Taken together, they enable investors to achieve their risk-return objectives by calibrating factor exposures and risk budgets in a flexible, transparent, and cost-efficient manner.

“Joining the Premialab platform is an exciting step for BBVA GM QIS,” said Pablo Suárez, Mananging Director responsible for QIS at BBVA Global Markets. “We see Premialab as a natural partner, given the strong alignment between its independent analytics capabilities and our systematic investment framework. Its data infrastructure provides an ideal environment to showcase our strategies to a global institutional audience. This collaboration reflects our commitment to working closely together, enabling investors to better understand the risk and return drivers of our systematic solutions and how they can complement their broader portfolio objectives.”

With this partnership, BBVA CIB reinforces its value proposition for institutional clients, expanding access, visibility, and independent analysis of its quantitative solutions in a global environment.
