The operation is part of the active portfolio management and capital optimization strategy, allowing for the strengthening of the financial stability of the vehicle and expanding its flexibility for future investment decisions.
Bogotá, June 2026 Pei announced the prepayment of approximately $300.000 million in financial obligations, using part of the funds obtained from the recent divestment of Plaza Central. This decision is part of Pei’s active portfolio management and capital optimization strategy, which characterizes the management of the fund.
The sale of real estate assets is a normal part of a portfolio’s development.
Once an asset has reached its potential or completed its lifecycle within the investment strategy, the generated resources can be allocated to different objectives aimed at strengthening the long-term sustainability and value generation capacity of the vehicle, combining growth, profitability, and financial stability within a long-term vision.
Among these uses are distributing profits to investors, reinvesting in new assets, repurchasing securities, and paying down debt.
Divestments don’t end with the sale of an asset. The real value is generated from the decisions made regarding the resources obtained through the divestment. In this case, they were used to strengthen the capital structure of the vehicle, reducing debt by approximately 10% and increasing our flexibility to continue executing Pei’s long-term strategy. Jairo Corrales, President of Pei Asset Management.
Reducing debt enables lower financial costs, strengthens key performance indicators, and improves the ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities, while maintaining a prudent and disciplined approach to capital management.
This decision is part of Pei’s ongoing strategy to optimize its portfolio, which involves continuously evaluating opportunities to capture value, recycle capital, and strengthen the quality of its assets and financial position.
