Archx Capital aims at an ‘emerging Brazil’

Brazil’s banks have been talking a good game about capturing the outperformance of smaller, privately held companies in the country. Now a new banking advisory firm – packed with senior bankers – has made this segment its entire business strategy.

“A week and a half ago I had a meeting with a company I’d never heard of in a small town in Mato Grosso,” says Philip Searson, COO of new banking advisory firm Archx Capital. “The owners were billionaires – they had relationships with one of our partners who had been a career banker at Banco do Brasil, so I’d gone to see them.”

Searson has been in Brazil for 20 years, and in his career – especially in his 11 years at Bradesco as head of debt capital markets – he has travelled extensively across the country.
