LarrainVial Asset Management, a premier asset management firm, has been honoured with the Excellence in Innovation – Asset Management Latin America 2023 and Asset Management Company of the Year Latin America 2023 at the renowned Global Banking & Finance Awards®. This recognition underscores LarrainVial’s exceptional achievements and pioneering efforts in the asset management sector in Latin America.
Established in 1998, LarrainVial’s commitment to innovation became evident in 2011 when it was the first Chilean promoter to unveil an investment vehicle under European law (UCITS IV) — the LarrainVial Asset Management SICAV in Luxembourg. This strategic move granted Latin American and European investors access to niche strategies like Small & Mid Cap Latam, High Yield Latam, and Chilean Equities.
Prioritizing client needs and consistent long-term returns, the firm offers a robust suite of investment strategies, including mutual funds, investment funds, and discretional portfolios. The firm’s impact in the sector is further emphasized with an Asset Under Management (AUM) exceeding US$7 billion, marking it as one of Chile’s leading non-bank asset managers.
Beyond financial innovation, LarrainVial champions responsible investment. As a proponent of the PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment), they integrate crucial Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. Their commitment was evident with the 2020 launch of Chile’s first Low Carbon ESG Debt fund and the 2022 introduction of the Education Impact Investment Fund.
LarrainVial also received international acclaim as the first Chilean asset manager to achieve an AMP-1 grade rating from Standard & Poor’s, underscoring its market-leading operational processes.
Wanda Rich, Editor of Global Banking & Finance Review, commented, “LarrainVial Asset Management stands out with its achievements and commitment to sustainable investment. Their recognition at our awards attests to their industry excellence.”
“We are truly honored to receive recognition from the Global Banking & Finance Awards. This reflects our commitment to clients, providing excellent asset management and a diverse, innovative portfolio of investment solutions,” stated Ladislao Larraín, CEO of LarraiVial Asset Management.
Boasting a seasoned team of over 70 experts, LarrainVial continues to advance its industry footprint.
