Private Fund Advisory for Sophisticated Investors

Rio Grande Advisors Inc. is privately held and dedicated to preserving private and institutional wealth across borders. We operate as a discreet boutique firm, combining U.S. institutional standards with Latin-American heritage.

Our primary relationships are with ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, holding companies and principal-owned investment groups across Mexico, Latin America and the United States.

We specialize in structuring private funds and bespoke vehicles for these multi-generational clients. As an exempt-reporting adviser, we serve only qualified investors under the private-fund adviser exemption and maintain the highest compliance standards.

Risk Management & Compliance

Rio Grande Advisors employs institutional risk and compliance standards supported by third-party oversight. Both partners maintain clean disciplinary records with the SEC and FINRA, as reflected in publicly available regulatory filings, and the firm maintains policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate conflicts of interest.

As an exempt reporting adviser under Section 203(m) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Rio Grande Advisors relies on the private fund adviser exemption and is therefore not registered with the SEC. We advise private funds only. Interests in such funds are offered through private placements in reliance on Regulation D and are available solely to accredited investors and qualified purchasers. All investments are consummated through definitive offering documents.

As an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, we are subject to federal anti-fraud provisions and operate under fiduciary principles. We uphold high ethical standards and provide transparent reporting.

Rio Grande Advisors does not provide legal or tax advice. Investors should consult their own legal and tax advisers regarding any investment and its consequences.
