Our Story
Our story begins with two indigenous Caribbean born natives, the founders, one from the Dutch side and the other from the French side of Sint Maarten / St. Martin. The realization that there was the need for private equity capital as well as the professional management of business operating, investing and financing activities to support these capital investments was immanent due to the increasing inflation and consistent hurricanes amongst other particulars that affect our economy.
It is near impossible for local small and medium business owners to acquire debt or credit financing from our local foreign control financial institutions on the island, while facing the challenge of maintaining profitability by means of running an efficient business operation. However, we continue to be resilient and after research as well as meetings with our current financial institutional leaders, it was resolved that equity finance is a necessity for small, medium and large corporations. For regulated credit institutions, private equity is deemed too risky for these local market participants by our regulator and so remains an untapped profitable capital segment. It was from this research and revelation that Caribe Capital Management was conceived in the month August of 2022 with the intention of becoming a capital, investment and commodities trading management corporation with primary purpose being to raise capital for private equity, growth and wealth investments.
We offer certified, experienced and skilled corporate, financial, ESG, leadership training and real estate management services to assist clients. In addition, we offer you the opportunity to become a shareholder/owner of Caribe Capital Management S.A.S. benefitting from our capital markets & securities investments, commodities transactions and the accumulation of assets.

Our Approach
Caribe Capital Management S.A.S (CCM) approach to capital management includes the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks and factors into the capital management, operations and investment decision-making process. This approach is based on the belief that ESG factors can have a long-term material impact on company performance and investor returns.
Here are some key ways ESG creates value:
-
Facilitating top-line growth: Companies that are proactive in addressing ESG issues can attract new customers and open up new markets.
-
Reducing costs: Efficient use of resources and waste reduction can lead to significant cost savings.
-
Minimizing regulatory and legal interventions: Companies with strong ESG practices are less likely to face legal and regulatory penalties.
-
Increasing employee productivity: Companies that prioritize ESG often have more engaged and productive employees.
-
Optimizing investment and capital expenditures: Companies that consider ESG factors in their strategic planning can make more efficient use of capital.
Moreover, our managing team's approach to ESG centers on identifying ESG issues that are material to a company's ability to not only generate short-term financing however to be able to generate long-term value. We use sector-specific ESG investment frameworks to identify material risks and opportunities, and in turn integrate these insights into our investment process.
An approach to capital management, including ESG, can vary depending on the specific goals and strategies of the client, shareholder/investor or the organization. We always align the approach with the overall capital management, investment strategy and objectives.
