About CAPIA

Since 2013, we have been providing investment banking financial services to successful entrepreneurs, corporations and financial investors on business divestitures, acquisitions, JV formation (M&A), capital raising, debt structuring and strategic advisory. We have a strong presence in Latin America and particularly Peru, where we have become the most active financial advisor with over 45 transactions closed to date.

We provide independent financial advisory services to help family-owned businesses, corporate, institutional, and high-net-worth clients navigate the structuring and execution of complex financial transactions that create real value. We draw on our extensive global experience, deep local market knowledge and global reach to deliver customized advice for highly impactful and transformative transactions. We differentiate ourselves through a culture of excellence, working with absolute confidentiality and a relentless focus on tangible results, fully aligned with our clients' goals.

Global
Reach

We have offices in Peru and the U.S. and have successfully executed transactions across nearly every country in Latin America. Our cross-border M&A practice thrives on strong institutional relationships with strategic and financial investors from North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and across South America. We proactively engage private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds in our processes to ensure our clients gain maximum exposure and access to high-potential investors.

Financial Advisory

Our Services

Sell-Side Advisory

Using our deep local market knowledge, superior execution and a vast global network of financial and strategic buyers, we structure and execute high-professional sale processes that attract significant global interest, increase value and attain our client’s financial objectives.

Buy-Side Advisory

Our experience in prospecting markets, opening dialogues with potential counterparties and understanding local markets and culture allows us to provide our clients with unique, bilateral negotiations with targets that result in successful off-market transactions.

Debt Financing

We help clients obtain debt financing from local and global financial institutions, private debt markets and capital markets. We structure debt raising processes that are aligned with our clients’ cash flow profile, and at the most attractive conditions.

Capital Raising

Whether equity (or semi-equity) is needed to fund growth, strengthen the capital structure or add a new partner to strengthen the business, we provide tailor made advise and top-tier process execution to identify, evaluate and maximize value for our clients.

Strategic Advisory

We help find solutions to complex financial challenges through a consultative process that focuses on delivering tailor-made advise through the lens of value benchmarking. We seek to establish strategies and an action plan that can maximize value creation and sustainability.

Complex Negotiations

We use our finance skills, market knowledge and value-oriented analytics to seek the best possible negotiation strategy to resolve conflicts with vendors, debtors, creditors or family members such that value is preserved.

Testimonials

At CAPIA, continuous learning and involvement in high-impact transactions stand out, allowing professionals to develop key investment banking skills while expanding and strengthening their expertise.

Alexia Risso, Analyst

1 year at CAPIA

CAPIA was the starting point of my journey in strategy and finance. From day one, I worked on challenging transactions alongside investment funds, senior executives, and legal advisors, navigating high-pressure, high-visibility environments. I had the opportunity to lead a full M&A process from start to finish, which strengthened not only my analytical and execution skills but also my ability to coordinate multiple workstreams with strategic focus and clarity in decision-making.

Beyond the technical knowledge, CAPIA was a true learning ground where I built a toolkit of skills that I continue to apply today: delivering high-quality outputs, managing diverse stakeholders, and maintaining rigorous execution standards. This experience was key to transitioning into an in-house Strategy and M&A team at one of Peru’s largest companies, where I currently lead integration and inorganic growth initiatives across the region.

Cristóbal Rizo-Patrón, Analyst

3 years at CAPIA

My passion for finance led me to investment banking, where I started as an intern. The fast-paced environment and constant challenges captivated me from the very beginning. I worked hard, learned, and grew to eventually becoming an analyst.

My experiences at CAPIA gave me the tools and confidence to pursue my ambitions. Thanks to what I learned here, I was able to join one of the top investment banks in the world.

I recommend investment banking to anyone looking for an intellectual challenge and a rewarding career. If you’re willing to work hard and constantly learn, the opportunities are endless.

Matías García, Analyst

2 years at CAPIA

Being part of the CAPIA team was an unparalleled experience in shaping my career in finance. The firm gave me the opportunity to lead end-to-end M&A processes across multiple industries.

Beyond the technical learning in investment banking, my time at CAPIA was instrumental in my professional development thanks to the firm’s strong values. Among these, I especially highlight the pursuit of excellence—CAPIA’s leadership consistently aims to deliver the highest-quality advisory and process execution for its clients.

Needless to say, I’m proud to consider myself a CAPIA alumni.
