The landscape of alternative investment in Chile is experiencing remarkable growth, reflecting a shift in the preferences of investors and companies toward more diversified and dynamic models. These new developments exemplify the sector's evolution, highlighting the potential of new approaches to finance productive sectors and foster innovation.
Alternative investments are becoming a significant element of Chile’s financial landscape, particularly in the areas of private debt and renewable energy projects. During the first half of 2024, 86% of the assets managed by newly created funds were allocated to alternative assets, with private debt vehicles dominating. This trend underscores the growing role of private debt as a key financing source for various productive sectors in the country.
Chile, with its economic stability and a regulatory framework increasingly adapted to the global context, has solidified its position as a leading market in Latin America for these types of assets.
In this context, new platforms are emerging to strengthen the alternative investment ecosystem, offering new opportunities for both emerging businesses and qualified investors. One example is ScaleX, a platform developed by the Santiago Stock Exchange in collaboration with Corfo and Start-Up Chile, designed to support tech startups and growth companies.
To date, ScaleX has recorded the participation of 76 companies, 2 public offerings, and raised nearly 5 billion Chilean pesos. These achievements underscore the growing relevance of alternative platforms in diversifying business financing, particularly in high-impact and technology sectors.
At the same time, asset tokenization is emerging as a key tool in the evolution of the alternative investment market. This process digitizes assets such as debt, real estate, or shares, enabling their efficient management and trading on modern platforms.
At Token City, we are leaders in implementing tokenization solutions in international markets, including in Chile, with clients such as TokenGO. From the issuance of digital assets to their trading on regulated markets, we support companies and investors in their transition to a more agile, transparent, and accessible financial ecosystem.
The growth of alternative investment in Chile, with a strong focus on private debt and financial innovation, reflects the maturity and dynamism of the local market. Chile is gradually positioning itself as a benchmark in Latin America for these types of investments.
Token City is the ultimate bridge to the tokenized economy (tEconomy), in which tokenized companies (tEnterprises) create their cryptoasset markets (tMarkets), open to global investors (tCitizens).
