Summary
Miranda & Amado Abogados partner Juan Luis Avendaño played a central role in advising Terranum Capital on the launch of Peru's first regional real estate investment fund, marking a significant development in the institutionalization of Latin American real estate markets. The transaction reflects broader macroeconomic tailwinds: Peru's vigorous economic growth trajectory and an expanding middle class are generating sustained demand for quality real estate assets across the region.
The fund structure required sophisticated legal and regulatory navigation. Establishing a regional investment fund in Peru involves compliance with multiple regulatory bodies, including the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Pension Fund Administrators (SBS) and the National Commission for Supervisory Bodies of the Financial System (SMV), as well as listing requirements on the Lima Stock Exchange. This regulatory architecture, combined with cross-border structuring considerations inherent in a regional fund, underscores the complexity of bringing institutionalized real estate investment vehicles to emerging Latin American markets.
Avendaño's involvement reflects Miranda & Amado's established depth in Peruvian capital markets and structured finance. The partner has spearheaded legal teams on more than 60 international offerings of debt instruments, hybrids, and securitizations launched by major Peruvian financial institutions, demonstrating consistent experience in complex financing transactions. This track record positioned the firm to advise on the technical and regulatory requirements necessary to launch Terranum's pioneering real estate fund.
The Terranum transaction signals institutional investor appetite for dedicated Latin American real estate products. As Peru and the broader region experience sustained economic growth and middle-class expansion, regulated investment vehicles offer institutional capital—including hedge funds, family offices, and pension funds—structured access to real estate market opportunities. The successful launch of Peru's first regional fund may establish a template for similar vehicles across Latin America, expanding the investable universe for alternative investors focused on the region's real estate sector.
