Latin American Private Capital + Family Capital Immersion
Aligning family purpose, private capital and next-generation leadership
Latin American families are facing a generational decision: how to preserve their legacies while allocating capital toward innovation, new business models and long-term impact. The current global environment — marked by higher interest rates, tighter financial conditions, selective capital markets and uncertain exit windows — requires greater discipline in portfolio construction.
The Latin American Venture Capital and Family Capital Immersion is an exclusive program designed for family business owners and their executives who want to make valuable, strategic decisions about private markets. With a bilingual delivery in English and Spanish, participants will explore core tenants of private markets (including private equity, venture capital, ETA / search funds and venture philanthropy) while remaining aligned with the family’s values and governance model. Families will be able to move from ad hoc investment decisions to a disciplined private capital strategy anchored in purpose.
The program frames private markets beyond simply an investment decision, but as a strategic decision. It helps determine the role families should play within the private capital ecosystem, and whether they have the governance, structure and internal alignment to execute efficiently. Participants leave with a disciplined private markets strategy, clear governance principles, pacing logic, investment committee framework and a 12-month execution roadmap.
Kellogg’s Miami Campus serves as the bridge between U.S. capital markets, governance standards and Latin American family capital. Renowned Kellogg faculty and practitioners’ global expertise in board and corporate governance, private capital markets, offshore structures, and regional regulatory risk management allows us to transform family owners into strategic allocators. Proprietary Kellogg frameworks connect legacy preservation with the imperative need for growth and innovation in family businesses.
