Santander Wealth Management & Insurance is the global Santander Group division that integrates the businesses of Santander Private Banking and Insurance & Asset Management Solutions, with the aiming to becoming the best Wealth & Protection Manager in Europe and the Americas, acting responsibly to earn the trust of our customers and their families. Since its establishment as a global division, we have consolidated a model of sustained growth based on three pillars:
Santander Private Banking
Santander Private Banking (SPB) is Banco Santander’s global private banking business, with a physical presence in 12 markets, serving 314,000 clients. It is supported by a highly specialized team, connected through a global platform that enables us to deliver best-in-class advisory both in our clients’ country of residence and internationally, leveraging the Group’s strength, connectivity and scale.
In recent years, we have strengthened and expanded our investment offering, with a particular focus on alternatives, thematic investing, ESG and credit solutions, adapting to an ever-evolving financial environment. At the same time, we have further developed our global platform, allowing us to scale the business by leveraging digital solutions and enhancing our value proposition with dedicated services for higher-value segments.
We continue to evolve towards an increasingly sophisticated value proposition, incorporating tailored services for Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) clients and family offices (Beyond Wealth), aligned with their long-term wealth planning and investment objectives.
Our commitment to excellence and service quality has been recognized through multiple industry awards. Most recently, we received 15 accolades at the Euromoney Private Banking Awards 2026, including Best Private Bank in the World for High Net Worth (HNW) clients, Best International Private Bank in Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay, as well as Best Private Bank in Spain for Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) clients.
Insurance & Asset Management Solutions
Insurance & Asset Management Solutions represents the evolution and integration of the Group’s capabilities in asset management—both liquid and illiquid—and insurance, offering a unique value proposition across savings, investment and protection. Our Group capabilities allow us to cover the entire value chain, directly connecting management and distribution capabilities. It combines the strength of Santander Asset Management, a global asset manager with a presence in 10 core markets, with the extensive expertise of Santander Insurance, serving more than 20 million customers across 12 countries with a comprehensive protection and savings offering.
The Wealth Management & Insurance division stands firm in its commitment to socially responsible investment (SRI), which is one of its strategic priorities. It uses an analysis methodology that enables it to assess the risks and opportunities arising from ESG factors to support decision-making in advisory and portfolio management processes, analysing over 25,000 companies and 190 governments.
In 2021, Santander Asset Management joined the global initiative 'Net Zero Asset Managers' as part of its climate change commitment. As part of this, SAM has undertaken to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or earlier.

Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and derived from our financial statements, the information above contains certain financial measures that may constitute alternative performance measures (“APMs”) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415en) and other non-IFRS measures (“Non-IFRS Measures”). Such APMs and non-IFRS measures have been calculated using the financial information from Santander Group but are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework and have neither been audited nor reviewed by our auditors. While we believe that these APMs and non-IFRS measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute of IFRS measures. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate or use such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. For further details of the APMs and Non-IFRS Measures used by Banco Santander, S.A. (Banco Santander), as the parent company of Santander Group, including its definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS, please see the Banco Santander´s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the section “Alternative performance measures” of the annex to Banco Santander´s most recent quarterly Financial Report. These documents are available on Banco Santander’s website (www.santander.com).
The businesses included in each of the Santander Group primary segments and the accounting principles under which their results are presented in such documents may differ from the businesses included and accounting principles applied in the financial information separately prepared and disclosed by its subsidiaries (some of which are publicly listed) which in name or geographical description may seem to correspond to the business areas covered in such Santander Group documentation. Accordingly, the results of operations and trends shown for the Santander Group´s business areas may differ materially from those of such subsidiaries.
