Santa Barbara, CA--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--March 1, 2006--Access to growth capital is the top priority in the U.S. Hispanic economy according to the 2005 Capital Markets Roundtable, featured in the March issue of Hispanic Business magazine. The November 2005 event in Beverly Hills, California brought top CEOs and investors together to match money with opportunity in the U.S. Hispanic market. The limited access to financing emerged as a key concern, with an analysis of last year’s Hispanic Business 500, a directory of the largest U.S. Hispanic-owned companies, revealing that “the 25 largest companies on the directory accounted for nearly 90 percent of the growth in revenues.” Scarce data and a lack of historical track records of investing in Hispanic-owned companies have both contributed to a heightened perceived risk among potential investors.
The March issue also features key articles on capital markets and personal investment strategies. Related to the 2005 Capital Markets Roundtable are three articles highlighting:
-- Hispania Capital Partners’ commitment to investing in Hispanic-owned companies
-- Alternative ways to invest in the future growth of Hispanic entrepreneurs
-- Double bottom line investing as a way to fund the growth of both Hispanic firms and communities.
The personal finance section includes a portrait of the Hispanic investor, as well as articles on real estate investments and the traditional capital markets of stocks and bonds.
