Latin America stands out as one of the most dynamic yet complex investment regions. Rapidly growing consumer demand, a growing middle class, and increasingly mature domestic markets create fertile ground for attractive investments. The region’s growth story is no longer driven solely by commodities—it is increasingly being driven by consumers.

Private equity activity reflects this change, with consumer-driven opportunities now taking center stage. However, navigating Latin America requires discernment: regulatory frameworks, political cycles, and market maturity vary greatly between countries, and the quality of local fund managers is uneven. Success depends on deep local networks, disciplined fund selection, and the ability to identify sustainable, high-performing strategies.

With over 60 years of investment experience and access to a global network of more than 15 local offices through its parent company DEG, DEG Impact combines local insights with global expertise to capitalize on private equity opportunities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
