Macquarie Group Opens New Office in Santiago

Press Release from Macquarie

             

SANTIAGO – Macquarie Group Limited (Macquarie), a global financial services group providing clients with asset management, leasing and asset financing, market access, commodity trading, renewables development, specialist advice, access to capital and principal investment in South America, has opened an office in Santiago.                   

The new office, officially opened on November 10, is in the Titanium La Portada building at Isidora Goyenechea 2800, Las Condes. It is currently home to two divisions of the firm, Macquarie Capital and Macquarie Asset Management, both of which are looking to accelerate investment across the region.                   

Macquarie has a two-decade history of investing in Latin America. The company’s current focus is providing capital for economic and social infrastructure, digital infrastructure, real estate, logistics and energy transition assets. The firm also provides capital and services to companies across multiple industry sectors. In April, Macquarie Capital made its first principal investment in Chile, leading a consortium that was awarded a contract for the improvement and operation of the Ruta Minera, a private industrial road in Chile that connects Mina Escondida, the highest producing copper mine in the world, to Ruta 5 highway. Also, earlier this year, Macquarie Asset Management acquired three state-of-the-art, widely recognized Class A office buildings in Santiago. The acquisition marked Macquarie Asset Management’s largest real estate transaction in Latin America to date through a private mandate.                   

“We are seeing exciting changes in Chile and the entire region as more and more people move to urban areas, and local industries expand to serve them,” said Juan Miguel Custodio, Managing Director, Macquarie Capital. “The need for investment in economic and social infrastructure, energy transition, digital investment and other resources is immense amid this rapid development. We look forward to working collaboratively with enterprises in Chile and the region to support development and ensure sustainable growth.”                   

David Fass, Head of Macquarie Asset Management Private Markets – Americas, commented: “Global investors recognize the long-term growth opportunities that Latin American infrastructure, real estate and other sectors present for their portfolios. We are excited to be expanding our presence in Chile and the region. We look forward to facilitating capital investments in critical sectors supporting the economic development and prosperity of the broader community, in Chile and beyond.                   

In addition to Santiago, Macquarie has offices in Sao Paulo and Mexico City. For more information about Macquarie’s presence in Chile, visit www.macquarie.com/cl/en.
