Global investments build stronger legacies
For the last 15 years we have applied our knowledge and curiosity to bridge the distance between Brazilian investors and the best opportunities that developed economies have to offer. We scour the world in search of attractive investments which are usually not in the obvious places. We are permanently aligned with the interests of our clients, and share relevant information openly along way.
If on the one hand we have a truly global approach when it comes to investing, on the other hand we value being local, and being close to the families and institutions who have entrusted us with their capital. We closely monitor the needs of our clients with care and aim to merit their trust as we continue promoting the globalization of investments to perpetuate legacies.
We travel the world to expand our knowledge base and to seek the most talented managers, often difficult to access. Benefitting from our deep understanding and network we have built over the years, we source and select the best managers in each asset class, and closely monitor the investments we make.
It is our belief that in order to preserve the legacy of a family or institution, it is necessary for it to grow over a long time horizon. To do so, it is essential to diversify the portfolio across investments with distinct return drivers and stay the course, even during uncertain times. Investing globally is the cornerstone for compounding capital in strong currencies.
We make global investments possible through being local, close to each client, and committed to caring for their interests. Our Brazilian heritage allows us to understand how the Brazilian investors think about their global investments. Our approach seeks to inspire confidence in those who wish that their assets be invested for with transparency and discretion.
No matter the subject, we present the facts objectively and clearly, avoiding roundabouts. We share what is necessary with agility, avoiding information that brings more noise than value to our clients.
