There is a rising interest and demand for alternatives across Latin America and in the U.S. offshore market. Wealthy individuals and family offices from Latin America poured $1 billion into alternatives in 2023, a figure that we expect will double in 2024. Pension systems in the Andes and Mexico held more than $71 billion in alternatives, a sharp increase when compared to the $46 billion in 2020.
Factors driving demand:
1. Alternative Platform Access: Alternative platforms create more opportunity for alternative providers to place novel products and strategies to intermediaries, including private banks, family offices, and boutique advisories. These platforms take the legwork out of the due diligence and research processes for wealth managers and aim to provide end-investors with greater liquidity and redemption options as well as lower minimum investments. Importantly, they also make it easier for financial advisors who are plugged in to collect trail commissions on alternative investments.
For more information on the growing adoption of alternative investments as well as other distribution and product development trends taking place in the major markets of Latin America, access our report, The Cerulli Report—Latin American Distribution Dynamics 2024: Keeping Cross-Border Funds Competitive amid Investor Demand for High Yields and Alternatives.
