What are international investments expectations for 2012-2020 in Brazil?

We will see much more money going into emerging markets - China, India, Southeast Asia and Latin America. A special focus will be given to Brazil for commodities and natural resources; not just companies but agricultural resources, renewable energy, and mines. Also, there will be a shortage of talent people to run and assess overseas opportunities. Acquisitions and mergers offer another route for achieving investment and private equity success with superior performance.

Why private equity is investing in Latin America and especially in Brazil?

There are a number of reasons besides returns, abundant natural and mineral resources, and number of consumers. Producers want to meet immediate demands by being closer to their customers. From a marketing perspective, local producers may have access to industry expertise in those markets, greater market penetration and may be perceived as part of the local economy. By locating services and manufacturing closer to customers, successful investment companies believe that it will be able to serve their customers better while expanding to new markets.
