An investment structure tailored to the specificities
of Latin America & the Caribbean
After extensive consultation with stakeholders in the region, Emerald Peak has developed an innovative deal-by-deal co-investment program addressing the specificities of undercapitalized markets in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our investment approach allows sustainable growth-focused investors to deploy capital into the most dynamic and innovative companies in the region while managing the risks inherent to emerging and frontier economies.
Our deep pipeline offers investors access to opportunities that best fit their sector focus, theory of change and geographic priorities. It also allows them to hold on to portfolio companies longer than the traditional private equity term dictated by fund structures.
​
Our co-investment program focuses primarily on:
​
-
sustainable agriculture and responsibly sourced food products,
-
renewable energy,
-
waste management and circular economy (including clean tech),
-
the advancement of equitable economic opportunities for women, and
-
health and wellness consumer services.
​
This program has been specifically designed to catalyze private investments into the region in order to:
-
leverage the existing opportunities in the SME segment,
-
use active ownership to push for transformational change towards the UN SDGs,
-
rely on our presence on the ground to manage and/or supervise the investments for our investors, and
-
through our deep pipeline, identify add-on investments for scaling operations and enhancing company value.
How we add value
For Investors
We help investors navigate the specificities of their preferred sectors and geographies in Latin America and the Caribbean and adapt their investment strategy to the realities on the ground.
-
We carry out the initial due diligence for attractive investment opportunities that we identify.
-
We also provide an independent risk assessment to aid investors in their decision making process.
-
Following the investment, we continue to monitor, supervise and guide the portfolio companies in the best interest of the investors.
For Business Owners
It is an unfortunate reality that most of the time entrepreneurs in this region are not ready to face the questions and scrutiny from institutional investors when seeking outside capital or financing. To help these business owners be best prepared, we are offering investment readiness advisory services to assist with:
-
setting up a virtual data room and populating it with the relevant documents,
-
reviewing investor-facing materials,
-
addressing investment risk issues, and
-
highlighting any other critical aspects that may impede a successful equity fundraise or financing.
