Blue Owl, Ares and Golub Chase Mexico's $500 Billion Pension Windfall

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 8

Summary

  • Executives from Blue Owl Capital, Ares Management and Golub Capital have arrived in Mexico City to compete for access to Mexico’s roughly $500 billion pension pool.
  • That push reflects a scramble for what investors see as a rare source of still-untapped institutional capital, with firms racing to build relationships before rivals lock in mandates.
  • The report suggests timing matters: managers that have not yet made the trip to Mexico may already be at a disadvantage in courting the country’s pension money.
  • The contest highlights Mexico’s pension system as an increasingly important fundraising target for global private-credit and alternative-asset firms seeking new long-term capital.
