Bull points
- We announced in April a strategic combination with BACS Asset Management to build a skilled asset management platform in Argentina by combining our existing asset management practice with BACS' extensive corporate and retail distribution network.
- The first product we launched together, ZV-FE Infra, is gaining traction with increasing client engagement and encouraging feedback from the local investment community.
- We expect this amount to positively impact our distributable earnings during the third or fourth quarter of 2026.
Bear points
