“Prudential Capital has provided financing in Mexico for more than 40 years, and the Latin American portfolio has grown significantly in recent years,” said Marie Fioramonti, managing director and head of Prudential Capital’s cross-border originations. “We see Mexico as critical to our entire Latin American investment mission, given the strong growth of intra-regional trade and the need of growing businesses for a true financial partner,” said Fioramonti.
Since 2015, Prudential Capital has provided approximately $2.6 billion in financing to corporations, energy and infrastructure projects throughout Mexico and Latin America. “We’ve been able to meet the financing needs of companies with a longer-term and relationship-focused alternative to traditional financing sources,” added Fioramonti.
Prudential Capital is a consistent provider of financing through changing economic and political cycles. As an example, Prudential Capital provided $175 million to Controladora Mabe, a leading Mexican manufacturer of household appliances, shortly after the 2016 U.S. elections.
“The opening of the new office in Mexico City demonstrates our long-term commitment to the region,” said Jason Boe, senior vice president responsible for Prudential Capital’s activities in Mexico and Latin America. “Adding a local presence in Mexico is consistent with our strategy of developing closer relationships and allows us to best address the financing needs of existing and prospective clients.”
Initially, the new office will house five investment professionals, with room for further expansion.
