Camino Schaper builds, acquires, and provides capital to businesses and real assets across Peru and the Americas — with an owner's mindset, not a fund's timeline.
Camino Schaper was established to build, acquire, and steward businesses with a permanent-capital mindset — capital that behaves like ownership, not like a position to be exited on a fund's clock.
We are privately held and principal-funded, which means we can move at the speed of a decision rather than a committee, and hold for as long as a business deserves to be held. Our work today centers on Peru and the wider Americas, in precious metals, consumer brands, and the operating businesses behind them.
We create businesses from the ground up, from brand and product through to operations, when we see a category worth building in.
We purchase or take working stakes in operating companies run by capable founders and teams, and stay close to the business afterward.
We structure capital — equity, debt, or a blend — for compelling opportunities that don't require us to run the business day to day.
Beyond our current holdings, these are the categories where we actively evaluate new opportunities to build, acquire, or provide capital.
Underwriting decisions on fundamentals, not sentiment.
Structures where our interests move with our partners', not against them.
Holding through cycles, not toward a predetermined exit.
Conviction earned through our own diligence, not consensus.
We welcome the opportunity to engage in thoughtful conversations. Request the Camino Schaper Overview and we'll follow up directly.
