Vaquero Global Investment LP is a San Antonio-based investment management firm specializing in emerging markets, with a particular focus on corporate credit—the largest and fastest-growing segment within the emerging market investment landscape. The firm offers a range of strategies, including hedged, high-yielding, and long-only products, aiming to capitalize on inefficiencies in the EM corporate credit market. Vaquero believes that this asset class presents a compelling risk/reward profile, featuring high-quality companies with strong credit metrics and competitive advantages.
Founded in 2007 by Wilbur Matthews, who serves as CEO and CIO, Vaquero leverages decades of experience in emerging markets. Matthews’ background includes roles at AIG and Chase, where he developed a deep understanding of EM investments. The firm’s team combines extensive on-the-ground due diligence with in-depth credit analysis to provide investors with opportunities to diversify and benefit from favorable long-term trends in emerging markets.
