PineBridge Investments, a global asset manager focused on active, high conviction investing, today announced a distribution partnership with LarrainVial, one of Latin America’s leading financial services companies. Under this new partnership agreement LarrainVial will market and offer PineBridge funds to the wealth management channel including private banks, family offices and fund-of-funds in the US offshore segment, as well as investors in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, and Panama.
PineBridge’s Latin America business has seen significant growth in assets under management from institutional clients, primarily in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico. While the firm continues its focus on the Latin American institutional client base, this new partnership adds new wealth management distribution capabilities and geographies by leveraging LarrainVial’s extensive regional platform. LarrainVial will initially market and offer a range of PineBridge’s UCITS funds across asset classes, including Asian equities, fixed income, and global multi-asset.
“Our ability to deliver results for our clients has led to an increased demand for our diverse set of investment solutions in Latin America. We are excited to be able to enhance our ability to offer our products to a sophisticated and growing wealth management client segment as well as continue to serve our established institutional client base,” said Adrien Grynblat, Senior Vice President, Americas Business Development, at PineBridge. “We see tremendous growth across Latin America and are delighted to partner with LarrainVial’s experienced team to expand our reach in this key region for the firm.”
Juan Miguel Cartajena, Partner and Institutional Distribution Manager at LarrainVial said, “PineBridge is a world-class asset manager whose funds in specialized asset classes are an important addition to our product offering. We are very pleased to enter this partnership, which will allow us to strengthen our presence, especially in the US Offshore market.”
PineBridge has an investment management and client servicing presence in Latin America with offices in Santiago, Chile and Mexico City, Mexico.
