"The Portland PE team approached our transaction in a very transparent and collaborative manner. We chose them because we expect them to be partners and more than simply a source of growth capital."
AIC Caribbean Fund
Portland Private Equity launched and manages the AIC Caribbean Fund (“ACF”), a $225M institutionally supported investment vehicle focused on compelling business opportunities across sectors in the Caribbean. We expect to complete the investment cycle of ACF in 2011 and will launch its successor at the same time.
We expect our next fund to have a geographical focus on the Caribbean Basin with expanded operations to include promising countries such as Colombia and Panama. Over a 20+ year horizon we have consistently been pioneers in surfacing opportunities that others have missed. In the process, we have learned how to scale these companies to become regional champions, and in certain cases, entities with global impact.
We have lived the challenges of building businesses in small markets where strategic options are less obvious, and understand the nuances of environments where accessing capital, talent, and exits require unique approaches.
