The Brazilian investment market
Brazilian companies have been very successful gaining scale, expanding internationally and finding liquidity in public markets both in Brazil and abroad. There have been over 50 IPOs in Brazil over the last decade across a number of different sectors. Investments by both Brazilian and foreign private equity funds have fueled this phenomenon, and the existence of several successful exits has built the stage for future opportunities.
Keynote speaker: Brett Rochkind, Managing Director, General Atlantic
