Execution in Latin America requires a hollistic approach
LOCAL ADVANTAGE
​​
​​Our ​hub is Mexico, Latin America's second largest economy with an installed power capacity exceeding 87 GW. Following Mexico's energy reform in 2014, the country posted the largest investments in renewables as part of its commitment to reduce by 40% CO2 emmissions in 2030.
​
Clifftop's advantage comes by teaming up with leading private investors and with strategic local entrepreneurs who are fully committed to become a global house in a relatively accelerated time frame. Our strategy consists of a primary focus on core investments for companies that are growing rapidly or for expansion projects that need a flexible capitalization structure.
​​
As a premise, our investment architecture should be effectively risk-contained, replicated and scalable across two specific silos: private equity and sustainable investing.
​​
Taking into account the limited role of traditional financing sources, Clifftop leverages on its strategy of focusing on special opportunities throughout Latin America, that tend to be low or non-correlated to traditional capital markets.
INDEPENDENT TEAM
​​
Clifftop is an independent business development firm. Our professionals have executed past ​complex transactions in the region, achieving a reputation as industry-recognized asset managers specialized in Latin America.
​
In 2007 and 2008, Clifftop's founding member was part of the team (at his previous position) that was ranked “Best Latin America Hedge Fund Manager” by Terrapin’s Hedge Funds World. This award reflected an ability to manage alternative investments across Latin America for global investors.
Our due diligence, structuring, and operational past experience as direct asset-based financiers and investors together with our domestic relationships, has placed us in a unique position to identify, select and analyze investment opportunities in Latin America.
STRATEGY
​
We are a small boutique led by seasoned investment professionals who have experienced multiple business cycles.
​​
We strive to deliver innovative and strategic results by targeting investments that allow medium-sized local players to tap into much needed resources to grow their businesses. We have developed a strong knowledge and expertise on power-related and energy efficiency transactions in the recently deregulated Mexican market. ​
​
​​Furthermore, we offer the possibility to invest selectively in a developing region, by carefully filtering sound business opportunities that offer strong returns, yet are structured to provide enhanced downside risk protection, which is central to our business implementation efforts.
