Over the past decade, the global financial landscape has witnessed persistent downward trends in interest rates, presenting a challenge for investors seeking opportunities to generate returns. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government interventions have dramatically reshaped the economic terrain, injecting massive liquidity into financial systems, which has led to the elevated interest rates today.

With a commitment to excellence, LatAm Capital Advisors (LCA) has emerged as a renowned independent investment banking firm that excels in delivering innovative and top-tier financial advisory services for complex projects. What sets LCA apart is not only the capacity to design cutting-edge financial structures but also dedication to fostering growth for its clients. LCA has a track record of setting new benchmarks and industry standards in investment banking, making it a trusted partner for clients seeking tailored financial solutions.

“Our role as financial advisors has facilitated over 30 financings, resulting in an impressive USD$18 billion in financial closings. Our extensive experience spans various industries, including infrastructure, energy and real estate where we’ve played a pivotal role in providing innovative solutions such as senior debt issuances, mezzanine financing, loans, and restructurings,” says Francisco Morales, partner at LCA.

LCA excels in structuring intricate debt and equity funding solutions that integrate investors’ preferences and risk assessments while intelligently assigning risks to the parties best equipped to handle them. Activities such as mergers, acquisitions, and fund management require a deep understanding of financial opportunities within risk capital and debt investment.

“Our strength lies in our ability to navigate the intricacies of complicated financing structures and mergers and acquisitions. We seamlessly integrate these complex puzzles to ensure successful outcomes for our clients,” says Eugenio Mendoza, partner at LCA.

LCA boasts more than 14 years of experience operating in global capital markets, effectively serving clients and investors from around the world. Throughout its journey, LCA has excelled in identifying and executing complex strategies that align with the needs and goals of clients and investors.

In contrast to traditional banks, LCA’s approach is rooted in providing personalized solutions rather than one-size-fits-all options. The firm collaborates with clients to craft custom solutions that transcend industry norms. It engages in joint projects, investing time and effort to fully comprehend client requirements and deliver tailor-made solutions that enhance their value.

As an independent investment bank advisor, LCA operates autonomously, free from affiliations with any bank’s specific corporate development or lending policies. This empowers LCA to offer unbiased and objective advice, prioritizing clients’ best interests consistently.

In pursuit of unique and innovative ideas, the firm distinguishes itself from competitors. The projects LCA undertakes are complex, requiring careful consideration and creativity. The team is committed to developing solutions that delve into the heart of these issues, going beyond surface-level resolutions.

LCA’s ability to structure complex and innovative financings is further demonstrated by its involvement in commercial bank loans and subsequent refinancings in the global capital markets for the construction of Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de México (NAIM). These financings were secured by a distinctive tax on departure passengers, a groundbreaking approach never implemented at any other airport. Initially, a USD$1 billion loan facility was negotiated as a new credit, which was later expanded to a USD$3 billion revolving credit facility. Subsequently, two offerings were made in the global capital markets—10 and 30-year maturing bonds—totaling USD$6 billion. These bonds were regarded as the top corporate credit from Mexico at that time.

With over 150 years of combined experience in structuring financing and capital raising, both in debt and equity, LCA has left an indelible mark in the global capital markets. The firm has established robust relationships with major commercial banks, development banks, investment banks, intergovernmental multi-lateral, export credit agencies, and rating agencies, enabling it to successfully navigate the global financial landscape.

LCA’s track record showcases its proficiency in handling diverse projects, including securitizations of multiple toll roads, local state fees (public registry of properties), bonds for social infrastructure projects, energy initiatives, diverse asset-based projects, and various other transportation projects like airports and port terminals. Its ability to consistently deliver on promises reinforces its reputation as a trusted and reliable partner in the financial industry.
