the u.s. hispanic population (currently estimated 40+ million) is the single largest minority population in the United States, larger than the entire population of Canada. Its numbers and purchasing power are growing far more rapidly then those of the non-Hispanic population and a larger percentage of its members are starting new families and households. In the coming decades, U.S. Hispanic demographic growth is likely to shape the U.S. economy as profoundly as the baby boom generation has in recent decades. This growth will likely continue to create compelling opportunities for investors who understand these dynamics and have the experience, skill set, and credibility to invest successfully. With more than a decade of experience investing in the U.S. Hispanic sector, ACON Investments is a leading investor in companies that address the rapidly growing U.S. Hispanic market. ACON has participated in innovative and successful U.S. Hispanic private equity transactions in a wide variety of sectors including media, financial services, retail, consumer products and healthcare.
