Preqin Special Report: Latin America, March 2013 Foreword Private equity in Latin America has grown in prominence over the last few years, with fundraising levels in 2011 reaching an all-time high, both in terms of the aggregate capital raised and the number of funds closed. Despite lower levels of fundraising in 2012, fund managers have continued to raise funds purely focused on the region, with a greater number of funds in market as of January 2013 than in January 2012. Preqin’s survey of over 40 global investors with an interest in Latin America demonstrates that investor confi dence in the region also remains strong, with a signifi cant proportion looking to make further investments in the region in the future. The outlook for buyout and growth funds looks particularly positive for 2013, with a large proportion of investors interested in Latin America targeting these fund types specifi cally in the coming year. Funds focusing purely on a specifi c country within Latin America will continue to be in competition with geographically more diversifi ed vehicles, but a signifi cant proportion of investors display an interest in country-specifi c funds, particularly in the more developed private equity market in Brazil, as well as Colombia, Mexico and Peru. However, with the number of pan-Latin America-focused funds increasing in 2012, investors are likely to continue to look to gain diversifi ed exposure to the region in order to minimize the risk in investing in this still emerging market. Preqin Special Report: Latin America provides an exclusive insight into the private equity market in Latin America, including investor appetite, key fundraising data, deals and performance. The report draws exclusively from many of Preqin’s online products and services, which provide over 10,000 industry professionals with data on all aspects of alternative assets, including fund managers, fundraising, investors, deals, performance, service providers and more. We hope you fi nd this report useful, and welcome any feedback you may have.
