STRATEGY
A strategy for acquiring, resolving and monetising secured Spanish NPLs.
Vega Constellation Iberia Opportunities Fund I targets secured non-performing mortgage loans in Spain. Returns are generated through the spread between acquisition price and recovery value, supported by deep entry discounts, loan-level underwriting, borrower resolution and collateral enforcement where needed.
STRATEGIC FOUNDATION
Vega's strategy is built around one principle: buy recovery value at a discount.
The Fund does not need real estate prices to rise to perform. It seeks to acquire secured claims at prices where expected recovery value already exceeds the purchase price.
This is not a passive real estate strategy. Vega buys legal claims secured by residential collateral, then actively resolves them through borrower settlements, legal workouts, collateral enforcement and asset sales where required. The edge comes from access, underwriting, execution and discipline.
STRATEGIC THESIS
Four reasons the opportunity exists.
The opportunity is created by a combination of structural bank selling, restricted buyer access, legal and operational complexity, and real asset collateral. Vega’s strategy is designed to sit at that intersection.
01
Structural seller pressure
Spanish banks continue to reduce legacy NPL exposure. This creates a recurring pipeline of motivated institutional sellers, rather than a one-off distressed cycle.
02
Restricted market access
NPL portfolios are not sold broadly to any buyer. Banks require compliant, locally capable counterparties with coverage, execution capacity and credibility.
03
Complexity premium
Secured NPLs require legal review, borrower mediation, servicer coordination, valuation work and possible foreclosure. That complexity keeps generalist capital away.
04
Hard asset security
Each loan is secured by real estate collateral, mainly residential assets. Recovery can come from settlement, credit sale, foreclosure or eventual property disposal.
WHY SPAIN
A dynamic economy with structurally undersupplied housing.
The collateral thesis is supported by Spain’s economic resilience, strong housing demand and limited new supply. The strategy focuses on primary residential demand, not speculative development or tourism-led assets.
+2.8%
GDP growth in 2025
Spain has outpaced the European average across recent years, with domestic consumption supporting continued economic momentum.
+12.8%
House price growth in 2025
Spanish house prices posted strong annual growth, supported by demand and a structural shortage of new housing supply.
375k vs 150k
Demand versus supply
Estimated annual household formation materially exceeds annual new construction, supporting collateral values in high-demand urban areas.

NPL VERSUS REO
Vega enters before the asset becomes real estate.
An NPL is a legal claim secured by collateral. An REO is the physical property after foreclosure. Vega focuses on the earlier point in the value chain, where legal and operational complexity can create a higher return opportunity.
| Dimension | NPL loan: legal play | REO property: asset play |
|---|---|---|
| Return profile | Higher IRR potential, driven by discount to outstanding balance and recovery path. | Moderate IRR, driven primarily by acquisition discount to market value and resale execution. |
| What is acquired | A secured credit claim against a borrower, backed by real estate collateral. | A physical property already owned after foreclosure. |
| Key return driver | Spread between purchase price and recovery value through settlement, credit sale or foreclosure. | Spread between purchase price, capex and eventual sale price. |
| Primary risk | Legal process, borrower behaviour, enforceability and recovery timing. | Physical asset condition, occupation, repairs, insurance, taxes and sale timing. |
| Management focus | Lawyers, mediators, servicers, collateral valuation and court process management. | Property security, repairs, brokers, insurance, marketing and sale execution. |
| Exit route | Borrower settlement, sale of the credit, foreclosure or collateral sale. | Sale of the physical property. |
LOAN LIFECYCLE
From performing loan to resolution.
The strategy starts before ownership of the physical property. Vega acquires the non-performing loan, then seeks to resolve the claim. If an amicable settlement is not reached, the collateral can be enforced and sold.
01
Performing loan
Spanish banks continue to reduce legacy NPL exposure. This creates a recurring pipeline of motivated institutional sellers, rather than a one-off distressed cycle.
02
Borrower default
Spanish banks continue to reduce legacy NPL exposure. This creates a recurring pipeline of motivated institutional sellers, rather than a one-off distressed cycle.
03
Bank sells the NPL
Spanish banks continue to reduce legacy NPL exposure. This creates a recurring pipeline of motivated institutional sellers, rather than a one-off distressed cycle.
04
Resolution or collateral sale
Spanish banks continue to reduce legacy NPL exposure. This creates a recurring pipeline of motivated institutional sellers, rather than a one-off distressed cycle.
Investment process
From exclusive sourcing to full resolution.
The process is deliberately narrow. Vega selects secured residential NPLs where access, collateral, legal position, expected timing and purchase price support the Fund’s target return.
01
Sourcing and appraisal
Vega sources portfolios through direct bank engagement and trusted local networks. The preferred route is one-to-one negotiation, where the team can access and select from off-market assets before broad competition develops.
02
Acquisition and due diligence
Each loan is reviewed for borrower status, legal enforceability, outstanding balance, collateral value, transfer mechanics and expected recovery route. The Fund only proceeds where the portfolio clears its minimum return threshold.
03
Mediation and resolution
After acquisition, each loan is assigned to a resolution manager. The preferred route is an amicable borrower settlement, which can create a faster, lower-cost outcome for both borrower and investor.
04
Foreclosure and exit
Where settlement fails, Vega enforces its rights over the collateral. Repossessed properties are secured, prepared and sold through local agents, applying the team’s REO experience directly.
RETURN MECHANICS
Returns are generated from spread, not speculation.
Every return starts at loan level. Vega may buy a secured claim at a significant discount, then recover value through settlement or collateral enforcement. The economic engine is the gap between purchase price and recovery value.
Base case investor logic
In the base case, capital is deployed in year 1, early proceeds are reinvested during years 2 and 3, initial capital is returned around year 4, and profit distributions follow during the harvesting period. collateral enforcement. The economic engine is the gap between purchase price and recovery value.
