| Felipe Held, Partner and CEO of HMC Capital, says, “Latin America has been very challenging these past few years for investors. A lot of uncertainties around micro, macroeconomics and politics, have affected economic growth and expectations, and therefore have had an impact in markets’ performance. As we know, Latam economies are dependent on commodities such as metals, oil & gas and others, which have suffered due to the slowdown in the global economy, and particularly from China. Besides the fact that we have lived in a low growth scenario, we have also experienced low borrowing costs and great liquidity for a while creating a challenging environment for investors looking for returns and yields. We expect that this scenario to continue in the mid-long run.” |  Felipe Held, Partner and CEO of HMC Capital |
