As alternative asset investments gain traction in the LatAm region, education is becoming paramount.  It is essential that investors understand the benefits of investing in alternative assets; that foreign companies understand the opportunities to be found in the LatAm alternative asset space; and that LatAm investment professionals have the proper knowhow and accreditation to be successful in an increasingly regulated and globalized market ...

Besides being where people now spend most of their time, the online world brings great benefits when it comes to advertising, such as targeting and measurement ...

With more and more aspects of business conducted online, companies of all sizes are now able to make connections with partners, suppliers and customers all over the world. Yet in many industries, establishing a successful multinational company still requires a physical presence across several countries. Whether it is to manage the supply chain, handle administrative operations, or make sales to new customers, setting up abroad involves significant capital outlays and a great deal of time-intensive effort. That, combined with the added uncertainty of operating in an unfamiliar country, can be too much risk for managers with limited financial and personnel resources ...

With its shallow banking sector and limited debt—the legacy of decades of economic turmoil—the direct impact of the 2008 credit crunch was minimal in most Latin American countries. The second-round effects of the crisis, however, were clearly evident, with investment inflows drying up and exports to major markets slumping as the developed world slid into recession. Yet the region remained relatively resilient. Emmanuel Besserve, co-founder of Mercatrade, an online b2b marketplace con- necting importers and exporters in Latin America, says the crisis caused a deceleration in growth among the region’s traders rather than an outright recession ...

 Though winemaking in Argentina dates back to the 16^thcentury, the South American giant has only recently emerged as a genuine competitor at an international level. On the back of the astonishing commercial success of Malbec, the country’s emblematic varietal, Argentina is now one of the hottest prospects in the global wine industry, winning over connoisseurs and casual consumers in equal measure.The surge in popularity of Argentine wine has also put Mendoza, the country’s wine stronghold at the foot of the Andes Mountains, on the map for tourists and investors alike.

 My first experience in Latin America was in Boquete, Panama where I went on a father/son trip to visit some family friends. At the time I was living in California and was really fed up with the stress and lifestyle. I saw immediately that Latin America could provide a different way of life, which I fell in love with and was energized to experience and see more. I can honestly say we are Colombia’s first true expat focused real estate brokerage firm that represents diverse buyers and entrepreneurs from all over the globe. Our core business …
