Alsis Funds is an investment manager founded in 2007 with offices in Mexico and Miami Beach. Alsis has invested over US$300 million across 60 transactions including 32 investments which have been realized. Alsis focuses on asset based lending to medium sized companies in Latin America. Alsis has invested over US$125 million in affordable housing investments that contributed to the construction and financing of over 46,000 housing units. Prior to founding Alsis in 2006, he served as Managing Director of Latin American Structured Finance at Biscayne Bay Group, a financial advisory firm focused on arranging asset-backed securitizations and commercial real estate investments in Latin America. He also served as Vice President of the Latin America Structured Finance Group of Bear Stearns, where he structured and placed structured transactions backed by a variety of asset classes such as mortgage and tax receivables. He previously served as an Investment Banker with Chase Manhattan Bank's Latin America Corporate Finance division. Mr. Gonzalez-Sanfeliu was also a Senior Consultant at Coopers & Lybrand with its real estate portfolio management group and a Consultant for the International Monetary Fund. Mr. Gonzalez-Sanfeliu holds an MBA in Finance and Management from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in International Business from McGill University. I believe I could provide a fit with the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Vacancy (3) position. My firm's affordable housing projects employ thousands of workers. One of our lead investors is the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), an agency of the US government. My firm has to ensure that worker labor rights in our affordable housing projects are protected as part of having the US government as investor. We protect labor rights by having our local housing development partner commit to items such as not permitted child labor, allowing workers to organize, requiring that workers wear protective gear, and facilitating labor grievance mechanisms. 7 8 Granado, Rafael From: Bonini, Danila Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2016 1:35 PM To: Granada, Rafael; Quezada, Ramon; Hatfield, Liliam Cc: Bowman, Richard Subject: Appoinment to Affordable Housing Committee Good afternoon All; Commissioner Grieco would like to appoint Xavier Gonzalez-Sanfeiiu to the Affordable Housing Committee under the number three (3) position.
