Advent International is one of the leading and longest-established private equity firms in Latin America.

Since entering the region in 1996, we have invested in 39 Latin American companies with a combined enterprise value (currently/at exit) of over $6 billion.

We have the strongest local presence of any private equity firm in Latin America, with 30 investment professionals and 45 total staff working out of offices in São Paulo, Mexico City and Buenos Aires.

Currently deploying our fourth fund, capitalized at $1.3 billion, we invest principally in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, but will consider opportunities in other Latin American countries as well. Across these territories, we pursue buyouts and expansion funding of high-growth, cash-generative businesses in our core sectors.
