Ashmore Launches 3-Person Mexico Equities Fund Push Targeting Pension Assets

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 1

Ashmore Group is launching a Mexican equities fund focused on local stocks, expanding its push into a market tied to the country’s fast-growing pension system.
Mexico City is central to that effort: Ashmore recently opened an office there led by Rodrigo Blancas De Erice, who said the current three-person team will grow quickly.
The new vehicle is designed to capture rising pension-fund investment flows in Mexico, giving Ashmore a local platform to source and manage equity opportunities.
Fund size has not yet been determined, leaving the scale of Ashmore’s initial Mexico equities bet still to be set.
