LatinFinance (written as single word, with an upper-case L and F) is a provider of financial markets intelligence on Latin America and the Caribbean. It publishes a magazine LatinFinance and an early morning daily news alert, the LatinFinance Daily Brief, and runs a data intensive web-site and a series of networking events comprising discursive conferences and educational seminars. LatinFinance also organizes private round-tables focused on narrower more specialist topics, meetings with senior members of the governments of Latin America or the Caribbean, and capital introduction events for issuers from the region and investors in inter alia New York, Boston, London, Zurich, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Mumbai and Beijing.
Founded in 1988 and published from New York and Miami, with a network of correspondents across Latin America and the Caribbean, LatinFinance has covered banking and capital markets in the region for over 25 years. It is primarily focused on debt, , structured finance, syndicated lending and multilateral financing, and on the practical application of these products in finance and/or investment by sovereign, sub-sovereign, financial and corporate issuers and portfolio, private equity and hedge fund investors. It also covers secondary trading, tracks people-moves within the financial markets of Latin America and the Caribbean, explores legal issues impacting those markets, and examines the business of banking and the role of banking technology within the region.
The magazine LatinFinance was first published in October 1988. Its initial editorial objective was, in large part, to explore and document the changes and opportunities in Latin America brought about as a result of the Latin American debt crisis, sovereign defaults and subsequent Brady Plan of the late 1980s. During this period LatinFinance was primarily focused on debt, covering banks' attempts to reduce their exposure to LDC debt, sovereigns' efforts to restructure their debt and raise fresh capital through amongst other things privatization, and the secondary markets activity that grew from this.
