Episode notes
Prefer Dollarized, Guaranteed Airport Cash Flows
- Use contract structures that hedge peso risk, like dollar-denominated passenger fees and guaranteed IRRs.
- Expect Argentine airport concessions to include payouts or contract extensions if traffic underperforms.
Use Banks To Play Political Turnaround
- Play Argentina via domestic banks for a direct political-exposure trade ahead of reforms.
- Consider names like Grupo Galicia (GGAL) and BBVA Argentina (BBAR) which can rerate as politics stabilize.
Chile Poised For A Business-Friendly Turn
- Chile looks set to swing right after a failed constitutional rewrite and weak left leadership.
- A pro-business winner would support mining and resource investment without the scale of Argentina's shift.
