In 2000, Riva y García moved into the private equity field, thereby completing the range of activities currently undertaken by the RIVA Y GARCIA FINANCIAL GROUP.

During this time the company has enlarged its offices in the Casa Berenguer building, now occupying four floors instead of one.

In 2005, and due to the growth seen in Madrid, the headquarters were moved from Calle Espalter to Calle Lagasca. The company has also opened a new office in Vigo, creating a new company; Riva y García Galicia.
