LXG Capital
LXG Capital was established in 2009 by Martín Fariña von Buchwald after his tenure as Managing Director at J.P. Morgan. Javier Zavala, former Co-Head of the Financial Institutions Group for Latin America at Merrill Lynch, joined as partner. The firm’s wealth originates from the partners’ advisory activities rather than a single industrial fortune. The office allocates across private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and public equities. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs alongside fund commitments and secondaries. Confirmed positions include advisory roles on ACON Investments’ acquisition of Pieriplast and the $102 million sale of Minka to Parque Arauco. LXG Capital also structured a $45 million corporate bond for Grupo Patio. Activity spans Peru, Chile, and North America with additional exposure through the LXG Amazon Reforestry Fund. The firm employs an undisclosed number of professionals and maintains a Miami presence through Althum Advisors led by Felix Segura. Hugo Horta heads the Chile office after serving as CEO of Credicorp Capital Chile. LXG Capital supports Fundación IMT CC and Fundación Las Rosas through its philanthropy program. In 2024 the firm acted as sole financial advisor on the cash offer for Sierra Metals by Alpayana S.A.C. LXG Capital operates a hybrid model that combines recurring advisory mandates with proprietary principal deployment. This structure generates deal flow from relationships with The Carlyle Group, ACON Investments, and Grupo Centenario while preserving separation between client assets and the firm’s own reforestry and impact vehicles.
