Home - English - São Pedro Capital Fundos

We are equity investors focused on technology-enabled businesses.

ABOUT US

São Pedro Capital is a Brazilian investment management firm inspired by the belief that operational know–how and participation in the management of invested companies are levers for value creation. We are attracted by the challenge of unlocking the hidden value in companies with high growth potential. Our formula combines equity capital contributions in all the businesses in which we take part and deep involvement with executives of the companies in which we invest.

ABOUT US

We know that creating value requires hard work, no shortcuts.

We bring seniority and experience in several industries, especially in innovative technology–enabled businesses. We share with entrepreneurs and executives a strategic management vision, developed over decades in Brazil and abroad. We are very ‘hands–on”, because we know the operation and the “corner office” of the companies. Our team combines diversified and complementary expertise. Top management consulting, C–Level executive experience in multinational and local companies, domestic and foreign capital management. Deep knowledge of the value creation process in companies, from operations and backoffice to the board of directors.

We anticipate what comes after every curve, with expertise and sensitivity.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

“São Pedro is very proactive. It is not that kind of investment manager that picks a stock, buys it and waits for the outcome. They are always very involved in the management of the company. This is, without a doubt, their great differential.”

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

“We deal with many investors, funds of all kinds and from many countries, so I can say that São Pedro Capital clearly has a peculiar characteristic: participation and collaboration with a special eye for the market, for good governance and IR practices. The way they share best practices among investees is valuable.”

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

“São Pedro acts on boards of directors like a conductor. It unites an engineer’s depth and a consultant’s strategic vision with management experience. It is detailed–oriented without losing sight of the whole. And it has brilliant people on the team.”

“Many founders do not realize that investments come in two flavors: dumb money and smart money. Insights and experience to identify the best opportunities and formulate the best strategy are much more valuable and rare assets than cash when it comes to generating value. This is what São Pedro Capital offers.”

“The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.”

Warren Buffett

Knowing how to read where the market is going is important, but it is not enough.

INFLUENCE ON MANAGEMENT

We know how to draw scenarios, but we do not stop there. Our focus is on fully understanding the companies in which we invest: the people in leadership and the relationship between them, the strategy, the operating cycle, structural issues, and opportunities to evolve.

We think like investors and only enter into businesses with stakes that allow effective influence on the company's management.

“A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Winston Churchill

Understanding the cycle of each business, participating in the elaboration of strategies, influencing the performance.

HANDS-ON

We do not believe in investments motivated by purely conceptual theses. And we never accept a passive position in the management of the companies in which we invest. There must always be an element of influence on management - a lever to mitigate execution risks.

We talk to entrepreneurs and executives on a regular basis, participate in the creation and development of strategies, and work to unlock value for the company.

“It almost always seems expensive to act with the long term in mind, which is why so few people do it.”

Anonymous

We only operate with equity-linked securities - we deal with value creation from a shareholder perspective.

VALUE CREATION

Our business origination process is based on a proprietary diagnostic framework that evaluates strategy, operations, capital structure, governance, and m&a opportunities.

All tied together by the company's culture, a lever for value creation, often overlooked by the market.

“If something is not going to be an obvious double in a short period of time –you know, 2 to 3 years – I have to show interest.”
