Private equity conference report
Wednesday, 26th January 2011 by Clare Bolton
Pre-crisis, private equity in the developed world was worlds away from the day-to-day reality in Latin America. Investability, leverage, regulatory structures, risks, fundraising and management practices were such points of divergence that the industries in the north and the south seemed to have little in common.
But as we found out in LatinLawyer's Private Equity Conference in New York in October, the pendulum is swinging, so much so that there is more common ground than before.
In a three-part report we hear from two experts on their view of private equity in the region, and present a panel among leading players in the private equity field.
First Nicolas Aguzin, CEO Latin America at JP Morgan, presents his view on the state of play for private equity in the region

Emiliano Mellino reports on the views of those at the meeting and asks other lawyers in Central America for their views on the opportunities and pitfalls of a regional model
