Santiago, Chile, December 6, 2021 – Linzor Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm in Latin America, co-founded by Tim Purcell, Alfredo Irigoin and Carlos Ingham, announces its 15th Anniversary.
Since inception, Linzor has invested over $1.1 billion in 25 deals; creating value by implementing strategic initiatives and operational improvements to promote the growth of its companies. With 24 investment professionals located across the region, including eight partners with a long investment track record, Linzor has the local presence and expertise required to source, execute and actively manage a diversified portfolio of investments. Its current portfolio includes 12 companies in various sectors, including healthcare, telecommunications, education and financial services, which together employ over 20,000 people. Linzor’s funds are supported by a well-diversified investor base composed of global institutions and family groups seeking long-term value creation, including well-known pension plans, asset managers, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and family offices, from the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific.
“We want to thank our investors and operating partners with whom we have worked over the past 15 years, and who have contributed to the success of our firm” said Tim Purcell, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Linzor. “Our distinct business model drives value creation through operating, strategic and ESG initiatives, as opposed to financial engineering and excessive leverage. This translates into reduced volatility from external shocks, as demonstrated by the significant growth of our most recent fund despite the challenges of the global pandemic.”
Twice winner of the LAVCA social responsibility award (2021 and 2019), Linzor is convinced of the tremendous opportunity to invest with impact and purpose, making Latin America a better place while creating value drivers and risk mitigation strategies for its portfolio companies. Additionally, the firm recently became the first asset manager in Spanish-speaking Latin America to commit to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, which involves setting targets for its share of a 50% global reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and zero emissions by 2050.
