Thesis
Gávea Investimentos, founded in 2003, is an independent Brazilian asset management firm with a strong focus on emerging markets globally and within Brazil. The firm employs a dual strategy encompassing hedge funds and private equity. Their hedge fund operations, which manage approximately $3 billion in AUM as of 2025, invest across currencies, rates, and equities in over 25 countries, prioritizing liquid financial instruments. Recently, due to market volatility, their hedge fund strategy has shifted towards a more global macro approach, reducing single-name equity risk. The private equity arm, with $5.4 billion in committed capital, focuses on minority investments in market-leading companies with strong management. They seek to add value through strategic planning, governance, capital allocation, and talent acquisition, acquiring minority stakes with governance and liquidity rights. The firm is regulated by CVM and ANBIMA.
