Patria Investments Accelerates Credit Growth via Solis Acquisition
Grand Cayman, Friday, 2 January 2026.
Patria Investments has completed its purchase of a controlling stake in Solis Investimentos, driving a massive 40% expansion in its credit fee-earning assets to $11.7 billion.
Strategic Integration and Market Impact
Global alternative asset manager Patria Investments Limited (NASDAQ: PAX) officially executed the transaction on January 2, 2026, cementing its influence in the region [1][2]. The deal integrates Solis Investimentos, a Brazilian manager that held approximately $3.5 billion in Fee-Earning Assets Under Management (FEAUM) as of the third quarter of 2025, into Patria’s diverse ecosystem [1]. This acquisition reinforces Patria’s foothold in the Latin American alternative investment market by leveraging Solis’s specialized expertise in Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) [1][3].
Operational Continuity and Leadership
While the ownership structure has shifted with Patria taking a 51 percent controlling stake, the operational leadership at Solis remains unchanged [1]. The firm will continue to be led by founders Delano Macedo and Ricardo Binelli, ensuring that the strategic vision that built Solis remains intact [1]. Furthermore, the team of over 100 professionals located in Fortaleza and São Paulo will retain their current roles, providing stability for existing clients and the newly expanded credit platform [1].
Expanding the Asset Base
This acquisition represents a significant milestone for Patria, which has accumulated 37 years of experience and now oversees more than $51 billion in assets under management [1]. Patria’s business model is built on six core product lines: private equity, infrastructure, credit, public equities, real estate, and global private markets solutions [2]. The addition of Solis’s assets pushes Patria’s specific Credit FEAUM to more than $11.7 billion, an increase of over 40 percent that underscores the firm’s aggressive expansion strategy in the credit sector [1].
Future Outlook
By securing this controlling stake, Patria not only diversifies its portfolio but also enhances its ability to offer sophisticated credit solutions to global and Latin American investors [1][2]. The transaction aligns with the company’s objective to deliver consistent returns through a broad range of alternative investment vehicles, positioning the firm to capitalize on the growing demand for credit products in the region [2].
