Just when you thought your retirement planning was safe and secure … we attended an Ed Slott tax conference and hear about the latest tax planning issues and opportunities related to retirement accounts. All of this is a great reminder of the growing complexity, and the growing assets within these plans, that can make mistakes or opportunities that much more valuable for us (and you) to be aware of. One such example with many twists and turns took the Slott organization one full year to resolve, but they wound up saving an individual hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary taxes and penalties. Other points less onerous, but equally good to know, are the new reporting requirements by custodians to notify participants and the IRS of QCDs processed from IRA accounts. We'll also discuss the potential opportunities in international equities as highlighted in detail by Capital Group. So much to talk about, and so much more to know! We think this will be a fun and informative show. Tune in and take control!

Con Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, analizamos la iniciativa del Ayuntamiento de Madrid e IFEMA: ‘Madrid Turismo by IFEMA'. Es un proyecto que tiene como objetivo activar la nueva estrategia turística global y colocar a Madrid como destino turístico en el mercado internacional con una inversión de 38,4 millones de euros hasta 2027. “Se ha incrementado en un 13% el gasto por turista”, asegura el invitado. Para el Cofundador de Homely Capital Group “se está atrayendo a personas con mayor nivel adquisitivo y que ven a Madrid como una oportunidad única para vivir experiencias únicas y diferenciales. El invitado cita por ejemplo el caso de la Fórmula 1. La FIA hizo oficial el 13 de junio y el calendario de 2026 y confirma que el esperado Gran Premio de España en la capital se celebrará del 11 al 13 de septiembre de 2026. Otra de las claves es ver cómo afronta la compañía el plan Reside del Ayuntamiento de Madrid. El organismo asegura que es un plan que blinda el uso de la vivienda habitual y traslada los pisos turísticos fuera de los edificios residenciales para la protección y mejora del uso residencial en Madrid. El invitado asegura que desde la compañía se anticiparon dos años antes a estas medidas. Solo nos centramos en la compra de edificios completos”, asegura el experto.

Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, analiza el mercado del alquiler turístico. A partir del 1 de julio comenzará a aplicarse el nuevo registro central de alojamientos turísticos. Cada vivienda vacacional deberá contar con un código oficial para publicarse en portales. No tenerlo podría implicar sanciones de 2.000 a 500.000 euros. “Es una ley que no viene de la Administración, viene de Europa”, asegura el invitado. Varias organizaciones del sector de estancias breves solicitan un aplazamiento debido a las dificultades para tramitarlo, ya que actualmente solo se ha registrado una de cada cuatro viviendas turísticas en el país. Hasta ahora, algo más de 100.000 han iniciado el proceso. Dentro de esta nueva iniciativa, el experto opina también que “necesitábamos esta ley para acabar con el problema social de que un huésped viva con alguien que vive todo el año”. El cofundador de Homely Capital Group, nos cuenta que “la inversión profesional necesita de un marco de actuación”. Es algo, que como nos cuenta, “nunca lo hemos tenido en España, ya que en nuestro país hemos tenido un gran parque de viviendas turísticas sin licencia”. Ahora, para él, “vamos a empezar a ver como grandes fondos van a inyectar dinero para invertir en hoteles o en complejo de apartamentos turísticos”. ¿Cuál es el último proyecto que tiene la compañía en Madrid? El invitado nos cuenta que “es un edificio residencial que tiene un certificado aprobado por el Ayuntamiento que permite ese cambio de uso a hotelero de por vida”. Lo que va hacer Homely Capital es “desarrollarlo y dejarlo listo para que llegue un comprador con su operador y lo explote”, asegura Medina. La empresa va a desarrollar este proyecto, en un periodo, de entre “18 y 24 meses y lo van hacer coninvirtiendo con socios”.
Mario González, responsable del negocio en España, Portugal y US Offshore de Capital Group, considera que hay oportunidades fuera del mercado estadounidense, especialmente en Europa
En la hora de la inversión Joaquín Robles, responsable de ventas de Banco BiG nos trae toda la actualidad en los mercados financieros y ponemos el foco en el sector del lujo. Además en el Foro de la inversión analizamos cuáles son las previsiones para la segunda parte de este 2025 tan atípico con Álvaro Fernández, co-director de desarrollo de negocio en Iberia de Capital Group. Y en Cripto Capital comentamos las noticias más relevantes de la semana e el mundo cripto con Jesús Pérez, Fundador de Crypto Plaza y con Javier Castro-Acuña, Head de Cripto y Web3 en Bitnovo.
Capital Group insiste que el mercado se va a ampliar. La década en la que solo lo disruptivo y de EE.UU. tiraba ha terminado y ahora, según Álvaro Fernández, co-director de desarrollo de negocio en Iberia, “los liderazgos de mercado van a ser diferentes”. En los micrófonos de Capital Intereconomía ha señalado que algunas de las que estaban siendo líderes van a continuar, pero también otras, y entre ellas va a haber empresas de Europa. En su análisis ha señalado que Europa, a nivel macro, tiene más capacidad de gastar y ha puesto de ejemplo lo que ha se ha visto recientemente en Alemania, con el programa fiscal de gasto público y defensa; al tiempo que ha señalado que por razones históricas las valoraciones en Europa están más atractivos y les hace estar optimistas con ella. La “vieja Europa” tiene compañías innovadoras en todos los mercados Fernández ha denunciado cómo se tiende a pensar que Europa es la “vieja Europa”, pero ha defendido que tiene compañías innovadoras y en todos los mercados, como la sueca Spotif; la danesa Novonordis; o Astrazeneca en Reino Unido. Eso sí, ha lanzado una advertencia, la de que no hay que buscar máximas, y que hay que pensar que dentro de Europa va a haber ganadores y perdedoras, igual en EEUU o emergentes. Insistía así, en que son los gesstores quienes tienen que analizarlo. Escenario de Renta Fija A la hora de definir cuál es el momento en Renta Fija, Capital Group lo ve bastante positivo, sobre todo, tras la tormenta vivida en 2022. Según ha explicado el analista, en el nuevo escenario se puede discutir más o menos cuándo se van a mover los tipos, pero “de aquí en adelante esperamos mantenimiento de tipos y mantenimiento de cupones y escenario de bajada de tipos en función de inflación”. Para un inversor medio ha apuntado que “es momento de tomar duraciones medias 3-4 o 5 años para beneficiarnos de esa futura bajada de tipos”, y por otro lado, ha señalado la parte de ver los cupones de entrada. “En función de la renta fija que miremos, ha dicho- ya sea gobiernos, grados de inversión o High Yield, los cupones de entrada son diferentes, pero hay activos en los diferentes subactivos. Bajo este marco ha señalado que para inversor medio, en la parte de grado de inversión sea la parte que mejor combine todo. Los spreads se han reducido pero los cupones de entrada son atractivos. La volatilidad puede ser una oportunidad En cuanto a las oportunidades que ofrece la volatilidad, ha dicho el experto es muy importante que se entienda. Es una fuente de retornos. Genera ruido, pero son subidas y precios que los gestores pueden aprovechar.
Dentro de 11 días entrará en vigor el código registral único, lo que pretende acabar con los apartamentos turísticos ilegales. Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, explica esta situación en Capital Intereconomía. Según explica el invitado, “el código registral único es una normativa que obliga a todos los apartamentos turísticos de España a tener una especie de matrícula para poder alistarse en las principales plataformas”. El proceso para obtener esta acreditación no es fácil, ya que, tal y como comenta, Navarro Medina, “se precisa de una serie de requisitos, como que tu comunidad de propietarios apruebe el uso del alquiler turístico”. ¿Esto a quién favorece? A los negocios que apuestan por edificios completos dedicados al alquiler turístico. En Madrid, el mes pasado, el ministerio de consumo detectó 15.200 pisos ilegales. En Homely Capital Group, ven una oportunidad. “Vamos a comprar un edificio residencial en el centro histórico de Madrid para convertirlo directamente en hotel” comenta el invitado.

Con Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, analizamos la situación de la vivienda turística. Hoy hemos conocido que los inversores que planean comprar vivienda para poner piso turístico han caído un 50% en dos años. “El ayuntamiento no se ha puesto las pilas con un plan de ordenación para las viviendas turísticas”, asegura el invitado. El experto piensa que “reinaba un poco la ley de la selva donde todo el mundo compraba un inmueble para explotarlo a nivel turístico sin importar si estaba regulado o no”. Homely Capital Group se dedica a comprar edificios completos para ponerlo en alquiler turístico como inversión. “Comenzamos hace dos años a adquirir activos con una regulación futura nacional”, asegura el invitado. Para el experto “existía un problema social de mezclar huéspedes y personas que viven todo el año allí”. Por eso la empresa hace estas inversiones.

Con Mario González, responsable del negocio España, Portugal y US Offshore de Capital Group, analizamos el mercado de la renta fija. “La renta fija no es inmune a la volatilidad que nos ha regalado los mercados”, asegura el invitado. Además añade que “la noticia positiva es que esta volatilidad inducida no por un deterioro de la economía sino por las políticas un poco erráticas de Donald Trump”. Sobre su año, el experto piensa que la renta fija “ha cumplido con el papel que tiene la renta fija en la cartera de cualquier inversor”. La renta fija debe tener un papel en cualquier cartera de cualquier inversor, independientemente si este es más valiente o más conservador. Sobre esto, el responsable del negocio España, Portugal y US Offshore de Capital Group piensa que “cualquier ahorrador tiene que tener exposición a la renta fija independientemente del carácter del inversor en cuestión”. Además, el experto recuerda los dos papeles que tiene la renta fija: la proyección de capital, que según él este año “se ha cumplido”. El segundo papel es generar, para él, esos pagos de cupón. ¿Qué podemos esperar de la renta fija en lo que queda de 2025? Desde Capital Group esperan que hay que contar que “seguirá habiendo volatilidad aunque potencialmente no tanto por las políticas arancelarias de Donald Trump”. Para el experto, “las buenas noticias para la renta fija es que vemos oportunidades en varios sitios”. Para él, esto abarca el punto de vista geográfico, sectorial y de calidad crediticia, donde aquí se puede encontrar “rentabilidades atractivas para un inversor conservador sin asumir mucho riesgo”.

Con Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, analizamos la transformación del alquiler turístico. El Ayuntamiento de Madrid limita los pisos turísticos en edificios residenciales del centro histórico de la ciudad y establece condiciones para el alquiler turístico en estos inmuebles. “Con la decisión del Ayuntamiento el alquiler turístico deja en manos de los pequeños propietarios”, asegura el invitado. Para el Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, esta estrategia del ejecutivo de Almeida hace que el alquiler turístico pase “del inversor más amateur a las grandes cadenas hoteleras y a los fondos buitres”. Además, para él, la zona afectada no es solo el centro histórico sino que afecta “a los barrios de Salamanca, Chamberí, todas las áreas de influencia turística de Madrid quedan limitadas”. La forma de actuar de la empresa es la siguiente: “buscamos edificios deprimidos o mal gestionados que necesitan una reforma o una licencia”, asegura Amadeo Navarro Medina. Con esto, buscan “una rentabilidad anual del todo proyecto desde la entrada, alquiler y salida de un 12,5% al año”. Para todo esto, la compañía tiene un vehículo de inversión, “que va a estar focalizado en Madrid” ya que les ha surgido “una oportunidad en un edificio hotelero”.

España quintuplica la media europea en la fiscalidad de la vivienda y solo es superada por Canadá dentro de la OCDE. Ahora, el foco está en el alquiler turístico, que sufrirá una subida del IVA en el 2028 debido a la normativa europea. Amadeo Navarro Medina, Cofundador de Homely Capital Group, comenta en Capital Intereconomía que estas medidas están orientadas para beneficiar a los grandes operadores turísticos, “o te vuelves empresario o no juegas” apunta. La vivienda turística es algo distinto a un apartamento turístico. La vivienda se refiere a los pequeños propietarios que tenían una vivienda residencial y la ponían en actividad turística. Un apartamento turístico son los edificios completos orientados a esa actividad. Estos poseen categoría terciaria, por lo que, tal y como asegura el invitado, “no se van a ver afectados por el aumento de los impuestos”.
