Ameris Capital

What Ameris Capital does

Ameris Capital (legal entity: Ameris Capital Administradora General de Fondos S.A.) is a privately held Chilean alternative asset manager founded in 2008, headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, and supervised by the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (CMF) as a General Fund Administrator (AGF). Its core operation is the management and administration of investment funds across real estate development and rental, private debt (including direct lending, FOGAPE-guaranteed SME debt, mortgage debt, and public debt), private equity, infrastructure, secondaries, and impact investing, with a dedicated FIS Ameris impact vertical and ESG criteria embedded across investment processes.

The firm operates a multi-product platform built around regulated investment vehicles (Fondo de Inversión and Fondo Mutuo structures) and a wholly-owned securitization subsidiary (Ameris Securitizadora) that transforms financial assets into tradable securities. Underlying technology is described as an alternative-asset management platform supporting the lifecycle of these funds, with proprietary workflow specialization in securitization and ESG integration rather than AI/ML systems or external APIs. The reported scale as of June 2024 (Grupo Ameris) is approximately US$1.9bn in AUM, 70+ funds, more than 1,500 clients, and a team of ~70–90 professionals.

Ameris makes money primarily through recurring management fees on AUM across its fund lineup, complemented by transaction-based placement-agent fees for distributing third-party international managers' products to Latin American investors, corporate-finance advisory mandates, and securitization transaction fees. Distribution is conducted through a direct institutional sales force with dedicated coverage for institutional investors, family offices (with a separate Family Office distribution head), and country-specific teams across Chile, Mexico, the USA, Spain, and Colombia. Customer segments include institutional investors, family offices, regional investors seeking international exposure, and corporate borrowers using the private debt platform.
