VAULT PRIVATE WEALTH

VAULT sources investments through Piedrahita's long-established network of Latin American family offices, private banks, and regional developers seeking US-based co-investors. The firm does not publicly run blind-pool funds, instead structuring individual property acquisitions and direct lending deals through SPVs that allow clients to participate deal by deal (per Citywire, 2017). This approach gives VAULT a sourcing advantage among families who prefer transparency over pooled fund structures.

VAULT concentrates on US Sun Belt and gateway cities, with Miami serving as both headquarters and a core target market for property acquisitions. The firm also looks at New York and Los Angeles based on existing transaction disclosure patterns. On the capital-raising side, Piedrahita draws family wealth from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Peru (per Citywire, 2017), making the firm's geographic advantage its ability to pair Latin American capital with US-based hard asset opportunities.

Andres Piedrahita's background at Citi Private Bank provides the foundational relationship network that feeds VAULT's current client base, but the firm operates independently of any banking group. There is no publicly disclosed joint venture, distribution agreement, or strategic partnership with Citi or any other financial institution. This independence is a key feature of the firm's pitch to clients seeking advice unconflicted by a bank's product shelf or balance sheet objectives.
