Alejandro Santo Domingo and his family, who amassed a fortune of $15 billion largely through Colombian brewer Bavaria that was folded into AB Inbev, have allocated through their European investment firm to almost a dozen US funds outside public markets, including those from KKR & Co. and 3G Capital, according to recent registry filings. Bevco, the Santo Domingos’ firm, had €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) in private equity investments and partnerships at the end of last year, about double the total from 12 months earlier, filings show. Bevco currently has about 15% of its portfolio tied up in private equity, higher than the typical sums family offices allocate to the sector, according to a recent survey from Citigroup Inc. In the past three years, Bevco’s private equity allocations have increased more than six-fold.
