The Portfolio Monitoring unit is part of the Investment Banking & Finance (IB&F) area within BBVA Group’s Corporate & Investment Banking (C&IB) division. The team is responsible for managing the portfolio of bilateral and syndicated transactions originated by IB&F, including Project Finance, Real Estate Finance, Leveraged Lending, Corporate Loans, and Structured Trade Finance transactions across Iberia, the rest of EMEA, Latin America, and the United States.
Portfolio Monitoring is involved from the early stages of transaction structuring and remains engaged throughout the entire lifecycle of each deal. Following signing, the team independently manages all transaction-related events, including amendments, waivers, consents, and other post-closing matters, until full repayment. The unit also performs agency functions for syndicated transactions.
In addition, the team is responsible for reviewing Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) assessments for Project Finance transactions and for recommending the transfer of transactions to the restructuring team when appropriate. This reflects a proactive and forward-looking approach to portfolio monitoring and risk management.
Through its extensive agency mandates in syndicated transactions, the team maintains direct and close relationships with clients, lenders, and other key stakeholders, ensuring effective coordination and execution throughout the life of each transaction.
