Olea noted: “Latin America is becoming a preferred investment destination, given the potential unleashed by the growth of the middle class, the urbanisation landscape and two decades of political stability.
“The Colony Latam team has been investing in this region since 2006, targeting the mid-cap companies that will benefit from growth capital to scale up their presence locally, and eventually, globally.
“The new venture combines a strong global platform and a local team with a solid track record to take on these interesting opportunities.”
Abraaj collapsed last year after charges of money mismanagement.
In June 2018, the company announced plans to offload its Latin America, Sub Saharan Africa, North Africa and Turkey funds management operations to Colony Capital.
