Brazil

Mubadala Capital's Brazil business has been active since 2011 and has built a diversified portfolio of private assets through the completion of several transactions including mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, corporate carve-outs, bankruptcy workouts and other types of special situations. The Brazil team is based in Rio de Janeiro and supported by the Mubadala Capital offices.

Mubadala Capital's Brazil team employs an active investment approach, strategically designed to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities in situations of distress, while capitalizing on the team's unique experience in the local Brazilian market.

The investment strategy is anchored around the following key principles:

• Emphasis on special situation investments across the capital structure, driven by financial strain, distress or complex situations.
• Acquire high-quality businesses at a discount to their intrinsic value, creating a margin of safety at the closing of a transaction that reduce the dependency on Brazil's economic cycles and currency while retaining the upside exposure associated with a growing economy.
• Front-load risk into deal structuring, negotiation, and execution – once a transaction is completed, the situation that created the initial distress, and therefore the discount to intrinsic value, is often resolved.
• Use of a fundamental-driven investment strategy that focuses on financial improvements, value creation and opportunities to structure downside protection.

With a track record spanning sectors such as education, energy, and infrastructure, we bring hands-on expertise to each investment. Backed by over $6.1 billion in AUM, Mubadala Capital is one of Brazil's largest alternative asset managers— committed to unlocking opportunities in one of the world's most dynamic economies.
