Forge Strategic Partnerships with VANDERLU

1. Access to High-Quality Latin American Capital Networks

Vanderlu acts as a strategic partner, not a placement agent or consultant — meaning they open direct doors to long-term capital relationships rather than simply selling a product. We are affiliated with a multi-family office operating in Mexico and Chile, and we maintain professional relationships with colleagues from single-family offices, private banks, wealth managers, and ultra-high-net-worth investors throughout Latin America.

What this means for a U.S. manager:
Immediate access to a curated universe of allocators actively seeking private market  strategies
Introductions to decision-makers that are hard for unknown managers to reach on their own
Enhanced credibility by association with a trusted regional partner

This significantly shortens the usual “cold start” phase for new entrants into Latin American capital markets.

2. Local Market Insight & Cultural Understanding

Latin American allocators have distinct investment cultures and expectations — more relationship-driven, often conservative with capital, and focused on risk alignment and trust. Vanderlu brings 15+ years of regional experience and insights, helping managers navigate:

• regional investment norms
• preferred risk frameworks
• regulatory nuances
• cultural expectations around business development and due diligence

For U.S. managers: This expertise helps avoid missteps, tailor messaging, and position products so that they resonate with local investor preferences.

3. Partnership Structuring & Strategic Alignment

Vanderlu helps align a manager’s strategy with the long-term goals of Latin American allocators. This includes:

• evaluating strategic fit
• refining positioning and presentation
• matching the right product to the right audience
• structuring engagements for the best reception in Latin American markets

This is particularly valuable for lesser-known managers who may have strong products but lack localized positioning.

4. Facilitating Private Capital Dialogues

One of Vanderlu’s key initiatives is invitation-only “Private Capital Dialogues” — discreet, high-level meetings designed for serious conversations rather than broad, unfocused promotions. Here’s how they support a manager:

✔ Create a focused environment for deep discussions about a manager’s strategy, track record, and risk framework
✔ Enable one-on-one interactions with qualified allocators
✔ Build investor confidence and credibility through structured dialogues instead of mass marketing

This kind of format is highly effective in Latin America, where trust and nuanced understanding matter greatly.

5. Full Partnership Onboarding & Execution Support

Once a manager and Vanderlu formalize a partnership, they collaborate on a custom execution plan that typically includes:

• scheduling meetings with investors
• planning roadshows in key Latin American cities
• organizing private events tailored to local allocators
• developing engagement strategies over the first 3 months and beyond

For U.S. managers: This infrastructure dramatically reduces the operational burden of market entry — Vanderlu helps to coordinate investor outreach, logistics, and relationship momentum.

6. Differentiated Product Positioning

Vanderlu focuses on categories that Latin American allocators are actively interested in, such as:

✔ Private equity
✔ Private credit with strong downside protection
✔ Real estate with strategic yield potential
✔ Alternative investment strategies tailored to sophisticated investors

They help managers frame these offerings in ways that highlight connections with allocators’ long-term goals and risk tolerances — a key advantage for new entrants without broad brand recognition.

7. Brand Building and Investor Relations

While Vanderlu doesn’t act as a typical marketing agency, they do support managers in areas that improve visibility among Latin American allocators:

• ongoing engagement with allocators through curated events
• investor relations support that enhances communication flow
• introductions to investors who value a structured, long-term approach

This capability helps managers build a reputation and network gradually, rather than attempting one-off sales pitches.
