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.
