Investment thesis

Rio Bravo is an independent asset manager pursuing a disciplined, fundamentals-driven, long-term approach centered on real assets. It operates three main strategies: real-estate funds (offices, retail, logistics, residential, shopping centers, fund-of-funds and multistrategy), credit funds (real-estate, corporate, infrastructure and structured credit including FIDCs), and equities and multistrategy funds active since 2004. Beyond fund management it offers fiduciary services, credit structuring, managed portfolios (including the R$100-minimum Poupah! service) and tailored solutions for institutional clients, aiming to deliver a complete offering from asset origination through portfolio management.
