Investing in emerging markets shouldn't mean sacrificing security. At Kandeo Asset Management, we understand the concerns surrounding these dynamics, especially in Latin America. That's why we've built a robust framework that provides the same capital protection and transparency as developed market investments.
Empowering Growth Through Strategic Investment.
Kandeo's private equity strategy focuses on acquiring and growing promising Middle-Market Enterprises (MMEs) in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. We provide strategic capital and operational expertise to drive long-term value creation, partnering with businesses poised for significant growth. Our focus is on companies that provide essential financial services to underserved populations. Kandeo’s private debt strategy is driven by a mission to fuel SME growth across Latin America by closing financing gaps through customized credit solutions.
Kandeo leveraged its expertise in financial services and factoring to launch Supply Capital Technologies (SCT), an initiative designed to capture the significant, untapped opportunity in countries that have adopted centralized electronic invoicing. This regulatory shift marks the foundation of a rapidly growing and increasingly transparent supply chain finance market. SCT combines real-time infrastructure with advanced data analytics to deliver superior, insured returns, including the development of the first credit insurance API connected to Munich Re, one of the world’s leading reinsurers.
Kandeo provides accessible and secure payroll deduction loan solutions (libranzas) in Colombia. These loans are repaid via automatic deductions from payroll, significantly reducing default risk while improving financial discipline. By tailoring financing options to the needs of public sector employees, pensioners, and other qualified borrowers, Kandeo empowers individuals to meet personal financial goals—whether it’s consolidating debt, covering education expenses, or managing unforeseen costs. Our approach promotes financial inclusion and helps individuals achieve their financial goals while providing a stable investment opportunity for investors.
Kandeo’s Public Sector Debt strategy focuses on acquiring final, unappealable legal judgments issued against the Colombian government. Although these obligations are constitutionally protected and guaranteed, beneficiaries often face delays of up to 36 months before receiving payment. By providing early liquidity to these individuals and families, Kandeo not only supports financial relief for underserved communities but also offers investors a unique, low-risk, and high-yield opportunity backed by sovereign credit.
In partnership with Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC) and other major players in Colombia’s gas supply chain, Kandeo is driving the transition to Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) to modernize the national truck fleet—offering investors double-digit returns secured by 1.9x collateral.
