It is no secret that European investors have a taste for alternatives. But brace for ‘unprecedented demand’ from Latin America over the next decade. So Citywire’s LatAm editor has been told – he has the numbers.

Citywire spoke to the 25 biggest asset managers to plot the growth of their private assets operations. But how are the successful groups doing it? Amplify goes deeper with the first in a new series – we start with Schroders Capital.
