Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The only regional dataset of its kind read here: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru counted separately
  • Reports the searches that ended without a deal and the funds that never raised, which most studies leave out
  • Breaks returns down by solo against partnered searches and reports where the losses were

Cons

  • Published by a firm that backs the funds it counts, which is disclosed on the page but is still its own market
  • Read here through the browser rather than the downloadable file, so the figures are the ones the page carries
  • Counts to the end of 2024 with three exits added from the first half of 2025, so the edges are uneven

What Searchers Say

Published alongside legal guides to Brazilian and Mexican search funds by the same firm, and cited on other backers' reading lists in the region.
