2018 LAVCA Industry Data & Analysis summarizes the results of the Latin American Private Equity & Venture Capital Association’s tenth annual survey of fund management firms active in Latin America and the Caribbean. The survey was conducted in December 2017 and January/February 2018. It also includes historical data on fundraising and investments drawn from available sources. Nearly 400 firms participated in the tenth annual survey, from large international firms investing through global emerging market funds to early stage and VC firms doing deals in local Latin American markets. Approximately 24% of the respondents were firms headquartered in Mexico, followed by Brazil and Chile (18% and 7% respectively). This year, 73% of transactions were confirmed with primary sources. Also, 84% of the deals provided financial details of the transactions (or a range of the investment size). 44% of respondents were non-LAVCA member firms. Survey responses were carefully compared against a range of indices and data sources.
