Marketplace spotlight: GTIS Partners

GTIS Partners is a leading real assets investment firm in the Americas. An LTIIA member since September 2018, GTIS is now evolving  from its Real estate basis into  Infrastructure to pursue the investment opportunities in Brazil  in:

  • Energy Generation and Transmission with a focus on renewable energy, and
  • Technology Infrastructure Assets

Both segments benefit from long-term structural demand drivers and large investment gaps. Short term growth in demand for energy  in Brazil coupled with limited incumbent competition from public and private capital sources (due to the recent economic and political turmoil), has created a favorable investment climate for players with both capital and operating expertise in the energy sector.

Brazil’s developing technology infrastructure is supported by robust growth in e-Commerce resulting in rapidly increasing broadband penetration creating long-term demand for data centers. GTIS’ fully-integrated US-Brazil platform provides industry leading in-house sourcing, investment analysis, legal and regulatory review, development and asset management capability that are a key source of competitive advantage.

In parallel, GTIS Brazil Real Estate Fund has been recognized as 2018’s most sustainable private equity real estate investment fund in South America by GRESB, member of the LTIIA Action Circle. This is the fourth year running the fund has clinched the top rating.
