GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patria Investments Limited ("Patria") (NASDAQ:PAX), a leading alternative asset manager, confirmed today the completion of its previously announced acquisition of WP Global Partners ("WP"), a U.S. based private equity solutions manager focused on the lower-middle-market.

The acquisition enhances Patria's Global Private Market Solutions' ("GPMS") scale and capabilities in the U.S. middle-market primaries and co-investment private equity segment, broadening GP relationships and client reach. Pro-forma for the transaction, Patria's GPMS Fee Earning Assets under Management ("FEAUM") reaches more than $13.6 bn as of 4Q25, with nearly 40% of investments in U.S. assets.

The acquisition enables GPMS to address its local and global clients' demand for U.S. exposure, complementing its already strong European expertise.

WP will be fully integrated into Patria, and the team of 30 professionals will remain in their current roles, operating from Patria's offices in New York and Chicago.
