Latin America
Actis has been active in Latin America for over 30 years across a wide range of sectors. We have invested mainly in the consumer goods, financial services, industrial, telecommunications, power and mining sectors.
Managed from our office in São Paulo, Actis is currently seeking investment opportunities in Brazil with a minimum investment size of US$50m, with a special focus on:
- growth capital opportunities emerging from strong growth in consumer demand and consumer financing (impacting mainly consumer goods, retail, financial services, housing, entertainment, media, healthcare and education) as well as from booming commodity export markets
- buyout opportunities arising from generational changes in family companies, and from divestments from multinationals
- consolidation of numerous fragmented industries in the region producing opportunities for platform and growth capital deals, with a view to exit through strategic buyers looking to consolidate its market or expand regionally
- value opportunities (both in growth capital and buyouts) arising from differences in risk perception, low price competition (in smaller markets), and operational underperformance (restructurings)
Actis invests in the region's energy sector through Globeleq, an emerging markets power operating company, which is focused on the emerging markets of Africa, the Americas, and Asia.
