Hicks Trans American Partners was formed in 2005 as the Latin American arm for Hicks Holdings LLC of Dallas, a family office that owns and operates the Hicks Family’s assets. The firm has offices in Dallas and Buenos Aires.

Hicks Trans American Partners seeks investment opportunities in media, branded foods, consumer products, energy, industrials, but we are also opportunistic with our capital. We look for established companies with proven track records, strong free cash flow, a solid, competitive industry position, with an experienced management team looking to partner with long-term capital. We invest in divested or "orphan" assets or divisions of larger corporations, acquisitions of privately or publicly traded companies, growth equity opportunities, and distressed businesses.

Hicks Trans American Partners, headed by Marcos Clutterbuck, Managing Director and Partner, and Emmanuel S. Paglayan, Vice President, also invests in Real Estate transactions and is currently pursuing several development opportunities in the region, both as developing partner and alongside various operating partners. Hicks Trans American Partners invests its own capital and that of partners, and looks for investments with time horizons longer than most dedicated private equity funds. Our typical transactions range in value from $5 million to over $1 billion.
