NEW YORK and SÃO
PAULO, Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
StepStone Group, a global private markets specialist, has opened
its second Latin American office in Lima,
Peru and hired Shannon Bolton
(formerly of Capital Strategies Partners) as a managing
director.
In addition to running StepStone's Lima office, Ms. Bolton will lead the Firm's
business development activities in the Andean region. "It's an
exciting time for institutional investors in South America to be investing in private
markets. Regulatory changes combined with deeper investor
knowledge have caused a dramatic rise in appetite for alternative
investments over the past few years. StepStone is the ideal partner
for groups looking to increase their allocation to alternatives,
and our local presence will allow us to better help clients build
diversified exposure across private equity, private debt, real
estate and infrastructure," said Ms. Bolton.
"We are delighted to welcome Shannon to the team. Her knowledge
of local markets, professional network, and dedication to her craft
are a natural fit for our high-touch approach to client service,"
added Bruna Riotto, a principal in
StepStone's São Paulo office. "Local investors have increased their
exposure to global private markets since we opened our first office
in Latin America in 2014. Adding
someone with Shannon's skills will help Andean investors broaden
their access to high quality investment opportunities abroad and
capitalize on all the expertise and breadth of StepStone's global
platform."
Ms. Bolton, a 10-year veteran of the industry in Latin America, joins StepStone from Capital
Strategies Partners, where she led the placement agent's efforts in
the Andean Region. Before that, she spent over five years at
LarrainVial SA, Chile's largest
investment bank, where she focused on institutional sales. Ms.
Bolton received a BS in business in administration from
Boston University's Carroll School of Management.
