Tracking the Activities of Global Asset Managers in Latin America

The offshore version of this high-conviction fund, managed by Daniel Paduano’s group within Neuberger Berman, has a 28-year track record in the US.

The firm is said to be particularly interested in the Brazilian and Peruvian marketplaces, where life-insurance penetration is relatively low.

A veteran in Latin American distribution circles, Victor Arakaki got his start in asset management at HSBC Brasil in 2007, where he remained until 2014, when he joined Deutsche Asset Management/DWS.

“Investors appear to be sleeping with one eye open," says Erik Davidson, CIO of Wells Fargo Private Bank. "They are optimistic, but they have clear concerns about what factors could impact markets and drive volatility.”

BECON Investment Management and Neuberger Berman will host the first-ever series of advisor-focused events in Latin America in which attendees can acquire Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) continuing-education credits.

The former AFP Provida executive will take on a client segment made up of central banks and sovereign funds, while also working to strengthen already-established distribution ties with regional AFPs.

After its merger with Pioneer, Amundi has decided to attack the Latin American institutional market from Santiago and Mexico, leveraging the experience of Silvia Fernández, who led Pioneer's distribution area in Andean markets.

“The growing sophistication among asset owners about when and how to integrate ESG into the investment process creates opportunities to tailor strategies and provide customized solutions," said Morgan's Rui de Figueiredo.

“After an exceptional year in 2017, volatility is back, and investors are feeling as uncertain as the markets,” said David Giunta, CEO for the US and Canada at Natixis Investment Managers.

Several foreign managers, including Vanguard, First Trust, Amundi and BlackRock are promoting their Smart Beta ETFs in the Chilean market, but uptake has been slow among AFPs.
