Juan Antonio Samaranch, founding partner of GBS Finance, has said that “Colombia is a very attractive country to invest in at this time,” in an interview with the online newspaper Portafolio.com. The interview was held on the occasion of the event organized in Bogotá by GBS Finance and the agency ProColombia, in which investment opportunities in the country were presented to sovereign wealth funds of seven countries.

GBS Finance organized an event in Bogotá, together with the agency ProColombia (the body responsible for promoting foreign investment in the country), in which investment opportunities in Colombia were presented to government sovereign wealth funds of seven countries that together manage more than 1.8 trillion dollars in funds. The meeting was attended by sovereign funds from Canada, the United States, China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Dubai.

Alberto Roldán, director at GBS Finanzas Investcapital AV (GBS Finance), in an opinion piece published by Funds People, affirms that “the different adjustment processes across interest rates is what alters portfolio structure, forcing us fund managers to make decisions contrary to what would be a more efficient design if it were based off expected average returns “. He justifies this opinion by pointing to the economic uncertainty experienced in 2018, and it seems that such uncertainty will remain in 2019.
