A successful track record is an important indicator of the maturity of a private equity market. LAVCA and EY partnered on a series of private equity awards to bring recognition to fund managers with successful deal cases in Latin America. The investments were honored in the Latin American Private Equity Deal Book & ESG Cases, in response to demand from LPs for specific examples of private equity case studies and in early December, when LAVCA, EY, and AS/COA hosted a dinner and seasonal reception in New York to announce the winners of the inaugural Latin American PE Awards.
