Patria Private Equity (Europe) Limited
Patria Private Equity (Europe) Limited is the London-registered vehicle of Patria Investments, the São Paulo-based alternative asset manager founded in 1988 by Ricardo Bertol, Pedro Grassano, and others. The European entity handles fund administration, advisory, and investor relations for Patria's multi-strategy funds targeting Latin American private equity, infrastructure, and credit. Patria's broader platform deploys capital across private equity buyouts, growth equity, infrastructure equity, and distressed credit — with a focus on Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. The firm's flagship Private Equity Fund V closed at $1.6B in 2019. Active holdings include payments company Ebanx and ATM network operator TecBan (per the firm's website and SEC filings). The European office supports a growing base of institutional LPs from Europe and the Middle East. As of 2025, Patria Investments managed approximately $29B in assets under management (per Patria's Q1 2025 earnings release). The European entity employs a small team focused on capital raising and investor reporting — distinct from the larger investment team based in São Paulo and New York. The firm listed on Nasdaq in 2021 (PAX) and is publicly traded, making it a rare publicly-listed emerging markets manager. Patria's structural differentiator is its semi-captive position in Latin American private markets — one of the few scaled, independent managers with a 35-year track record covering the region. The European entity adds a channel for non-Latin American capital to access those investments without on-the-ground presence.
