Patria Investments, a global alternative asset manager active in private equity, infrastructure, credit, public equities, real estate and global private markets, has launched a new private credit strategy focused on Latin America.
The new private credit platform combines Patria’s expertise in alternative assets in Latin America and Moneda’s credit investment franchise experience structuring private credit transactions to offer creative and innovative financing solutions to corporates across the region.
The new investment programme will look to address a financing gap Latin American borrowers face in the market. Since 2012, the global private credit market has grown fivefold, but Latin America still represents less than 1% of this market and of traditional financing sources in the region, according to Preqin (Preqin’s database extracted in June 2024).
