(HOUSTON) – Hines, the global real estate investment manager, today announced the successful close of the first Hines-sponsored investment offering in Latin America. Through the partnership between Hines Private Wealth Solutions (Hines PWS) and iCapital1, the global fintech platform, driving the world’s alternative investment marketplace for the wealth management industry, Latin American investors have gained access to a diversified global portfolio of real estate assets, all outside of Latin America, with a total value of $4.14B as of March 31, 2024. This portfolio is nearly two-thirds weighted toward industrial and living sectors and has properties in eight countries, including the United States and across Europe. The investment offering was backed by Hines, a leading global real estate investment manager with over 4,900 employees operating in markets around the world and more than $93B in AUM.2
“The overwhelming response reconfirms the ongoing need for financial professionals to provide pertinent alternative investment strategies to their Latin American clients,” stated Paul Ferraro, global head of private wealth at Hines. “Extending the reach of private wealth investment opportunities is at the core of our strategic vision, and by joining forces with iCapital again, we’ve seen just how effective that can be.”
Through the partnership, Hines PWS was able to leverage iCapital’s broad capabilities to help meet strong demand and successfully complete the closing of the first Hines-sponsored Latin American offering. In addition to their collaboration in Latin America, the firms have further expanded the opportunity to access this Hines-backed, global portfolio of high-quality assets with an offering available in Canada. The Hines PWS platform offers a variety of investment opportunities, including public, non-listed REITs, private placements and a tax-deferred exchange platform.
“As demand for diversified investments continues to grow, we remain steadfast in our commitment to bolster access to alternative investing opportunities,” noted Lawrence Calcano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at iCapital. “We couldn’t be more excited to further enhance our relationship with Hines as their trusted technology partner.”

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED COMPLEX PRODUCTS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in an alternative investment is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Alternative Investments often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss; can be highly illiquid; may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors; may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information; are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds; and often charge high fees. There is no guarantee that an alternative investment will implement its investment strategy and/or achieve its objectives, generate profits, or avoid loss. An investment should only be considered by sophisticated investors who can afford to lose all or a substantial amount of their investment.
