Lima, Peru – January 16, 2025
Linzor Capital Partners is pleased to announce the sale of its minority investment in Grupo EFE, which operates a network of specialty retail stores in the home appliance and motorcycle segments (EFE, Curacao and Motocorp), as well as a consumer finance business, Financiera Efectiva, in Peru. The minority stake was acquired by the controlling shareholders of Grupo EFE.
During Linzor’s tenure as a shareholder in Grupo EFE, the retail and financial industries underwent significant transformations, which required proactivity and innovation to maintain competitiveness. Grupo EFE’s retail business adopted an omni-channel strategy, expanded its online sales, acquired an online marketplace platform, digitalized processes and invested in its logistics system. Financiera Efectiva transformed its origination from full dependence on the affiliated retail business to a well- diversified consumer finance platform offering a wide range of financial products through tech-enabled tools. Today, Efectiva ranks among the top Peruvian financial institutions in terms of profitability and has contributed to expand access among the underbanked low- and middle-income segments of the population.
