Unlocking Growth Opportunities in Latin America
CULTIVATING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS IN LATIN AMERICA
Discover how VANDERLUSP is redefining investment strategies with a focus on transparency and meaningful relationships in the Latin American market.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At Vanderlu Strategic Partners, we operate as a strategic partner within a Multi-Family Office in Mexico with a dedicated presence and operational back office in Panama City—positioned at the heart of Latin America’s private capital ecosystem. Together, we align differentiated private market strategies—particularly those with strong risk mitigation, thoughtful structuring, and exposure to less crowded segments—with the long-term objectives of our clients.
Our role is to bridge these exceptional investment opportunities with a circle of prominent families and capital allocators whose vision, sophistication, and standards demand more than the ordinary. With a focus on private equity, private credit, and differentiated alternatives, we align capital with conviction—facilitating relationships built on strategic insight, trust, and long-term alignment.
We seek to partner with managers whose approaches reflect thoughtful portfolio construction, sound investment philosophies, and a focus on risk-adjusted outcomes. Our role is to support strategic fit and alignment—not to offer or recommend specific securities—while facilitating access to carefully evaluated opportunities in private markets and alternatives.
With over a decade of experience across Latin America, we serve as external Chief Investment Officers to a select group of Family Offices, Private Banks, and UHNWIs—providing strategic perspective, access, and due diligence support across alternative investment opportunities.
Built on trust, cultural fluency, and long-standing relationships, we facilitate thoughtful dialogue between qualified investors and investment managers—prioritizing alignment, discretion, and long-term partnership.
Understanding the Latin American Investment Landscape
Embrace the Future of Investment Partnership
Allow me to begin by defining our role: we are neither brokers, placement agents, nor consultants. Rather, we position ourselves as dedicated partners, committed to collaboratively advancing your objectives. We place great value on cultivating enduring relationships based on trust, mutual respect, and shared commitment. We seek partners who are deeply invested in the success of the venture, willing to engage meaningfully and in-person with investors across Latin America, and prepared to share both the risks and rewards of our collective efforts.
Steps for formalizing a partnership:
- To begin the collaborative process, it is essential to schedule an initial video meeting that allows all parties involved to connect and introduce themselves. This meeting will serve as a valuable opportunity to establish rapport, clarify expectations, and lay the groundwork for effective communication moving forward.
- Sharing your firm’s marketing materials, investment thesis, and relevant documents will significantly enhance our understanding of your fund. This exchange of information will not only provide us with a comprehensive grasp of your objectives and strategies but also enable us to assess our alignment with the pipeline of allocators in LatAm.
- Commencing our due diligence process involves a close and collaborative engagement with our dedicated advisory team to meticulously craft tailored recommendations that align with your specific needs and goals, and once we gain the necessary approval from all parties involved, we will proceed to present a comprehensive partnership proposal that outlines the benefits and opportunities of our collaboration.
- Once the terms of the partnership are agreed upon, we actively engage in onboarding the manager and work together to strategize the next three months. This includes scheduling meetings, planning trips, organizing roadshows, and coordinating private events among other key activities. This collaborative process is designed to ensure we build strong and successful partnerships.

The Educational Initiative — Private Capital Dialogues
The Educational Initiative is a discreet and invitation-only series of private capital dialogues, designed exclusively for sophisticated allocators and family offices. These high-level, off-the-record meetings create a space for thoughtful, one-on-one conversations between fund managers and qualified investors.
Held in key financial centers across Latin America and beyond, each meeting is purposefully tailored to the investor’s interests, offering a transparent discussion of the fund’s strategy, track record, risk framework, and alignment with long-term objectives.
This is not a conference or roadshow — it is a trusted format for serious capital conversations. By emphasizing education over promotion, and relationships over transactions, the Initiative supports allocators in making informed decisions while allowing managers to engage with depth, clarity, and integrity.
Built on longstanding relationships and local access, the Educational Initiative strengthens investor confidence and fosters enduring partnerships in the private markets.
