Private equity firms eye opportunities in Colombia

Private-equity firms including Carlyle Group, Pantheon Ventures and Victoria Capital Partners are opening offices in Colombia and Peru to find deals as economic growth there outpaces Brazil’s.

Pantheon will open a Bogota office next month, said Jaime Londono, who will head the division for the London-based firm.

Advent opened its Bogota office in October 2011, and made its first investment there three months later.
