Automate trust and fideicomiso operations: beneficiary management, distribution calculations, regulatory compliance, and multi-currency reporting — for fund managers structuring investments through fiduciary vehicles across Latin America.
Across Latin America, trusts and fideicomisos are a primary vehicle for structuring real estate investments, infrastructure projects, securitizations, and cross-border capital flows. Every major LATAM jurisdiction has its own framework: Mexico's fideicomiso (governed by CNBV), Colombia's fiducia mercantil (SFC), Argentina's fideicomiso financiero (CNV), Peru's fideicomiso de titulizacion (SMV/SBS), Panama's Anglo-Saxon-influenced trust law, and many more. Each has distinct regulatory requirements, beneficiary classes, and reporting obligations — and none maps neatly to the “fund” model that most investment software assumes.
Generic fund administration platforms treat trust structures as edge cases. They lack native support for trustee/beneficiary/settlor (fideicomitente/fiduciario/fideicomisario) relationships, don't model beneficiary classes with different entitlement rules, and can't generate the jurisdiction-specific regulatory reports that local authorities require — whether that's CNBV in Mexico, CVM in Brazil, Superintendencia Financiera in Colombia, or ASFI in Bolivia. Fund managers end up maintaining parallel systems with manual reconciliation between them.
PoliBit models trust structures natively. The platform supports fideicomiso, fiducia, and trust vehicles across LATAM with full beneficiary management, distribution hierarchies, and jurisdiction-specific compliance — because these vehicles are central to how investment funds operate throughout the region.

PoliBit models Mexican fideicomiso structures with full support for fideicomitente (settlor), fiduciario (trustee), and fideicomisario (beneficiary) roles. The platform handles CNBV reporting requirements, multi-series structures common in real estate FIBRAs, development capital CKDs, and international investment CERPIs — including restricted-zone fideicomisos for foreign property ownership along Mexico's coast and border regions.
For Colombian investment structures, PoliBit supports the fiducia mercantil framework with beneficiary class management, Superintendencia Financiera compliance reporting, and multi-currency operations for cross-border investments. The platform handles fiducia de administracion, fiducia de inversion, fiducia inmobiliaria (widely used for pre-sale real estate development), and fiducia de garantia structures.
Argentina's fideicomiso financiero is a primary securitization vehicle regulated by the CNV. PoliBit supports the distinctive fideicomiso inmobiliario 'al costo' model — where investors pool capital for construction projects — as well as agricultural and livestock trust structures common in Argentine agribusiness. The platform handles the currency complexity created by Argentina's exchange controls.
PoliBit supports Peru's fideicomiso de titulizacion (securitization trusts regulated by SMV/SBS, widely used in mining and infrastructure), Panama's Anglo-Saxon-influenced trust framework (favored for asset protection and cross-border structuring), Uruguay's fideicomisos financieros (forestry and agriculture), Dominican Republic's modern Ley 189-11 trust framework, Costa Rica's real estate development fideicomisos, Ecuador's dollarized fideicomiso mercantil, and other LATAM jurisdictions.
When a US or European fund invests through a LATAM trust vehicle, PoliBit manages both layers: the fund-level operations (capital calls, LP reporting, waterfall) and the trust-level operations (beneficiary management, local compliance, asset tracking). Data flows between layers automatically, so LPs see consolidated performance while each trust maintains its own jurisdiction-specific regulatory reporting.
Trust distributions follow different rules than fund waterfalls — and vary by jurisdiction. PoliBit supports beneficiary-class-based allocations, pro-rata distributions within classes, preferential returns per trust terms, holdback provisions for regulatory reserves, and jurisdiction-specific tax withholding. Each distribution generates a complete audit trail tied to the trust's governing documents.
Trusts and fideicomisos are one of several vehicle types PoliBit manages. Many LATAM fund managers use trusts alongside blind-pool funds and deal-by-deal SPVs — and PoliBit handles all three in one platform. Investors verified for one vehicle carry their KYC status to the next, and consolidated dashboards aggregate performance across every structure in your portfolio.
