Foreign investors sometimes assume Chancay Megaport is listed as a single stock. It is not — COSCO Shipping Ports (60%) is not separately traded for its Chancay stake, but the Peruvian 40% is.
What you can actually buy
The Peruvian side of the port was spun off from Volcan Compañía Minera into Inversiones Portuarias Chancay S.A.A., whose Class A and Class B shares have traded on the Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima, BVL) since May 23, 2024.
How the process works
- Open an account with a Peru-licensed brokerage (sociedad agente de bolsa, or SAB) — several accept applications from foreign residents, requirements vary by firm.
- Search for Inversiones Portuarias Chancay S.A.A. Class A or Class B shares on the BVL.
- Track port performance news (cargo volumes, financial results) since the share price reflects the operating business, not just port headlines.
What this does not buy you
Because COSCO Shipping Ports holds the 60% majority stake and is not separately listed for Chancay, buying Inversiones Portuarias Chancay S.A.A. shares gives exposure only to the Peruvian minority stake, not to the port as a whole.
