Who is our customer
ACON Latin America Opportunities Fund IV makes structured equity and mezzanine investments in middle-market companies across Latin America. The Fund is managed by ACON Investments. The Fund has total commitments of US$ 515 million and is ACON's fourth consecutive investment program dedicated to Latin America.
What is our funding objective?
The objective of FMO's commitment is to foster private-sector-led growth and job creation across Latin America, by making risk capital and strong social, environmental and corporate governance practices available to an underserved market segment.
Why do we fund this investment?
Compared to other markets, the penetration of private equity in Latin America is still low, and the availability of structured capital solutions is rather limited. As an anchor investor of ACON Latin America Opportunities Fund IV, FMO supported the swift and successfull fundraising of a pool of smart capital, that is intended to enhance the availability of structured capital solutions for middle-sized companies across Latin America.
