Is this the private equity cycle for Brazilian private banking?

Private bankers are eyeing PE and venture capital investments as digital platforms emerge in Brazil, but personal advisory remains critical.

Bankers in Brazil are betting that the country’s coming cycle of monetary loosening – kicked off by the central bank’s 50 basis point cut in its headline Selic rate in August – will generate huge inflows into the private equity asset class by Brazilian private banking clients.

“Just as the previous cycle of monetary easing created huge investment flows from fixed income to equities by non-institutional investors, so we think this cycle will be about private investments such as private equity and venture capital for individual investors – led by private banking clients,” says Oscar Decotelli, chief executive of DXA Investments.
