Juse Infanta Ruiz

José María García de la Infanta Ruiz is a Partner in the Infrastructure division of Buenavista Equity Partners, the Madrid-based private equity firm that until its 2024 rebranding was known as GED Capital. He joined the infrastructure business in 2013 (via GED's 2015 acquisition of Ahorro Corporación's infrastructure mandates, where he had been working) and served roughly eight years as Investment Director before being promoted to Partner in 2023. He carries more than a decade of investment-banking and fund-management experience across infrastructure funds, capital markets and M&A.

Before his infrastructure career, he built experience across several Spanish and European financial institutions: the Corporate Investments department at Unicaja Banco (around three years), the M&A department at Edmond de Rothschild in Europe (around two years), and capital markets at Ahorro Corporación (around six years). This mix of corporate finance, M&A and capital-markets background underpins his work structuring both equity and debt transactions in real assets.

Academically, he holds a degree in Economics from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (specializing in Economic Analysis and Quantitative Economics) and a Master's in Finance from the Universidad Pontificia de Comillas (ICAI-ICADE). His transaction experience spans transportation, energy, energy efficiency, utilities and social infrastructure, across both equity and debt.

The firm he helps lead, Buenavista Equity Partners, was founded in 1996 and today manages on the order of €1–1.3 billion across three divisions — Private Equity, Venture Capital and Infrastructure — from offices in Madrid and Lisbon. The Infrastructure division alone manages roughly €450 million, including a €200 million allocation channelled through the Buenavista NextGen Urban SICC vehicle for sustainable urban development.

• Asset class: Infrastructure and real assets in the lower-mid-market, not venture/angel investing — despite outdated aggregator tags. He invests through regulated funds providing equity, debt or hybrid financing.
• Ticket size: Up to ~€22 million per project under the mandates managed by his team, with long-dated structures (debt maturities up to 20 years, equity recoveries over ~15 years).
• Sectors: Sustainable urban development, energy efficiency, transport and sustainable mobility, utilities, plus social infrastructure such as affordable housing, healthcare, education and cultural facilities, waste/water management and sustainable tourism.
• Institutional mandate discipline: His Financial Instruments team has a long track record managing capital from European public institutions (e.g. EIB-mobilised funds and Spain's NextGen/Regional Resilience program), so investments must fit strict sustainability and public-policy criteria.
• Geography: Focused on Spain and the wider Iberian market, deploying capital across the country to promote regional urban regeneration and green infrastructure.
