Growth, acquisitions, and platform development

Patria’s recent news releases highlight ongoing expansion of its platform through both organic fundraising and acquisitions. The company reports growth in assets under management over time and describes increases in fee-earning assets under management across its strategies.

In the Credit segment, Patria announced an agreement to acquire, and subsequently the completion of the acquisition of, a 51% stake in Solis Investimentos, a Brazilian investment manager specializing in the structuring and management of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Patria states that Solis is a market leader in the CLO segment in Brazil, with expertise in credit origination, analysis and monitoring, and that the addition of Solis’ fee-earning AUM significantly increases Patria’s total Credit FEAUM and supports its positioning as a leading credit platform in Latin America.

In Real Estate, Patria announced an agreement to acquire RBR Gestão de Recursos Ltda., which, after internal reorganization, is expected to hold a portfolio of listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in Brazil. Patria indicates that RBR Gestão manages multiple listed REIT funds focused predominantly on credit and multi-asset strategies, and that upon closing, Patria expects to be the leading manager of listed REITs in Brazil across strategies such as office, logistics, credit, multi-asset and urban retail. The company links this transaction to the growth of its real estate fee-earning AUM and the importance of permanent capital vehicles in its platform.
