Meet Three Brazilian LPs (Privcap video - free to watch)

June 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Meet Three Brazilian LPs

Brazil has Latin America’s largest private capital market, and this applies to the population of limited partners as well as the general partners. Meet three Brazilian LPs who are helping to diversify not only the portfolios of their own organizations but to educate other local institutional investors about the benefits of private equity.

This video panel discussion, moderated by Privcap CEO David Snow, includes Mauricio de Rocha Wanderley, Chief Investment Officer of Valia, Patricia Freitas, Head of Investments at FINEP, and Eduardo Klingelhoefer de Sa, Head of Funds Department at BNDES.

The gathered experts discuss why now is a “good moment” for Brazilian private equity, the history of the development of the local LP market, the influence of declining interest rates and inflation, today’s big appetite for diversification into equities of all kinds, including private equity, the relative paucity of funds of funds and venture capital funds in Brazil, and when local pensions will begin to allocate beyond Brazilian borders.
This program is sponsored by the Brazilian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (ABVCAP) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex Brasil).
