Edinburgh-based asset manager Kames Capital has partnered with the Latin American advisory firm HMC Capital to enter the Chilean investment market for the first time.
Under the deal, Chilean pension funds will, through HMC, now have access to the Kames High Yield Global Bond Fund which has been approved by the Chilean financial regulator.
Peter Ball, Kames’ director of institutional business, said: “The Chilean market opens new and exciting opportunities for Kames, not least in its pension industry’s search for high quality, established bond capabilities.
“Kames is well placed to meet this need and has a proven track record in managing dedicated high yield bond funds since 2002.”
Kames Capital, which has €53 billion of assets under management, is the UK fund management arm of Dutch insurance giant Aegon.
