Got Questions?

01.
How do fluctuations in the EUR/BRL exchange rate affect the investment?

‍Stability: Since the Central Bank began operating autonomously, the BRL has maintained its value relative to the start of this policy period, proving the effectiveness of the current mandate.

Appreciation: As of December 2025, the BRL has seen an appreciation of approximately 5.7% compared to February 2021, when the independent central bank was officially established.

‍Hedging: For investors seeking additional security, options exist to hedge their investment outside of the fund structure.

02.
Does inflation have a negative impact on the investment?

Brazil has a proven track record of managing inflation, averaging approximately 5.7% annually over the past 20 years.

‍Effective Policy: The independence of the Central Bank allows for decisive action against inflationary pressures.

‍Current Data: Inflation for 2025 stands at 4.5%, with JP Morgan forecasting 4.7% for 2026.

‍Built-in Protection: Purchase prices for units within the fund's developments are indexed to inflation. This ensures the investment result is largely protected against loss of purchasing power

03.
What is the political risk associated with this investment?

While political volatility is a global reality, Brazil provides a stable foundation for international investors.

‍Mature Democracy: Brazil operates as a mature democracy with a clear separation of powers and institutions that oversee the highest levels of government.

‍Economic Resilience: Despite historical challenges like the 2014-2016 financial crisis and COVID-19, the economy has remained resilient with positive long-term GDP growth.

‍Neutral Global Stance: Brazil’s neutral position in global politics makes it a strong trading partner for Europe, the US, China, and the Middle East.

‍Legal Framework: The Brazilian legal system offers a credible framework for contract enforcement and dispute resolution, minimizing legal risk for investors.

04.
What are the primary risks, and how are they mitigated?

Completion Risk: Mitigated by partnering exclusively with Vitacon (115+ projects, zero defaults) and utilizing insured completion guarantees from providers like Allianz.

‍Liquidity Risk: Unlike traditional "lock-up" funds, our rapid pre-sale model generates early cash flow, allowing for a ~1% monthly interest component during development.

‍Regulatory & Legal Risk: Handled by our thirty-year "boots on the ground" heritage and a secure

‍Dutch AFM-light structure for European investors.

‍Alignment Risk: We co-invest under the same terms as our LPs and implement a 10% compounded hurdle, ensuring we only profit after our investors achieve structural growth.

05.
What is the exit strategy and how is capital recovery secured?

Rapid Liquidity: Our pre-sale model often sells out within months, generating the cash flow used for your ~1% monthly interest distributions during construction.

‍Insured Completion: Projects are protected by Performance Bonds (e.g., via Allianz), ensuring completion by a secondary developer if necessary.

‍The Payback Clause: If a project fails to launch, your capital is returned in full, adjusted for IPCA inflation plus 1% monthly interest.

‍Global Repatriation: We partner with tier-one firms like Ebury and BTG Pactual to ensure the seamless and compliant transfer of profits back to Europe.

‍Isolated Risk: Every investment is held in a standalone Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with joint escrow accounts monitored by international auditors.
