Madrid, March 2025 — Professor José Manuel Sánchez Pérez, a globally recognized investment expert and Senior Professor at BlackRock, has officially launched a national financial literacy initiative across Spain. This program, which builds on his earlier success in the United States and Latin America, aims to bridge the knowledge gap between professional finance and the everyday investor.

The program offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes free in-person seminars, interactive online courses, and personal financial coaching. Special attention is given to young professionals, retirees, and low-income families—groups that Sánchez believes are often underserved in the world of financial education.

“True empowerment begins with understanding how to manage your money wisely,” said Sánchez during the Madrid launch. He emphasized the importance of long-term planning, behavioral finance, and sustainable investing—core themes that reflect his research over the past three decades.

The initiative has partnered with universities, municipalities, and local nonprofits to expand its reach. By the end of 2025, the program aims to train over 25,000 individuals across Spain, marking a major milestone in Sánchez’s lifelong mission to democratize investment knowledge.
