Temasek Reported in Mexico/Brazil Venture

Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings has hired a former Barclays executive to head its Mexico office as it aims to boost investments in Latin America, according to Reuters, which cites a company statement. Lorenzo Gonzalez Bosco will be managing director for Mexico investment, while the fund, which manages over $100bn, will also relocate Alan Thompson, its LatAm investment MD to Sao Paulo later this year, according to Reuters. The fund is focused on Asia but reportedly sees long-term potential and attractive investment prospects in LatAm.
