Our team is acutely aware of the utmost importance of the Latin American Region composed of over 20 countries and 625 million people. As the fastest growing minority within the United States, Latin America will surely play a distinct role in the history of the Western Hemisphere for the century to come.
The region has historically benefited from global demand for its commodities, but lesser-known thriving domestic consumption and a growing manufacturing and technology sector is fueling unprecedented economic advancement.
Once shunned by investors and businesses because of the “boom and bust” nature of many of the region’s local economies, stringent monetary policies have have allowed many of these countries to develop well capitalized banking systems exhibiting healthy credit records.
Regional wealth, entrepreneurship and direct investment activity have increased significantly in recent years. By 2017, foreign direct investments into Latin America and the Caribbean exceeded US$ 167 billion annually with a slim majority of inflows directed to medium-high and high-technology sectors. Brasil, México, Chile, Colombia and Peru have received the bulk of recent investments, but distressed nations such as Argentina, Venezuela, and Cuba remain poised for monumental shifts.
The Netherlands, U.S., and Spain have historically been the largest foreign investors in Latin America, with China, Russia, Japan, UK, and other important economies playing a large role as well.
Today the region is experiencing the positive impact of the talented forces managing LatAm Governments, Regulatory Agencies, Central Banks, Public and Corporate Pension Funds, Foundations, Endowments, Banks, Family Offices, Fund of Funds, Listed and Private Corporations, Insurance Companies, Private Banking Divisions, Asset Managers, Financial Boutiques, Investment Advisors and High-Net-Worth Individuals.
In the United States, the growing Hispanic community is creating incredible opportunities for cross marketing and distribution. This progress is sustaining a developing Latin American middle class all across the globe.
There still remains extensive work to be done to help the region achieve its fullest potential, and iLAfin in partnership with WallStreetSur is delighted to be at the forefront of this region’s consolidation process by helping market participants and other stakeholders benefit from the upcoming period of unparalleled growth and opportunity in the global and local capital markets.
Our intention remains focused on closing the educational gap and bringing talented people into the fascinating Asset Management Community. It is our hope that investors, overall market participants, students, and common individuals may all play a role in the never-ending goal of building a better society.
