Cosan Group
Cosan Group is the family office for the Ometto family, whose wealth originates from Cosan S.A., a Brazilian energy and logistics conglomerate founded by Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello. The firm's founding year is not publicly disclosed, but it emerged from the expansion of the family's industrial holdings. The family office runs a multi-asset strategy spanning private equity, infrastructure, real assets, energy transition and renewables. Its portfolio includes direct investments in energy infrastructure, fuel distribution chains, and logistics networks — mirroring the operating company's evolution. Deployments cover Brazil, Norway, the UK, Japan, and the United States, with offices in Stavanger, Tokyo, London, Seattle, Chicago, Charlotte, New York, Cambridge, Boston, and Leuven. Cosan Group maintains a global team, though headcount and AUM are not publicly disclosed. The firm operates alongside Cosan's publicly traded entities — including Cosan Logística and Cosan Lubrificantes — and the family's philanthropic structures remain separate. No recent operational events from the last 24 months are verifiable. The firm's structural differentiator is its deep integration with the operating-company DNA of Cosan — deploying capital into energy and logistics assets where the family holds decades of operational expertise. This industrial anchor shapes a mandate heavier on real assets and infrastructure than typical multi-family offices.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Cosan Group?
Publicly available information does not name a specific CIO or CEO for the family office. Investment decisions are presumed to involve members of the Ometto family and professional advisors, consistent with the structure of most single-family offices built around an operating conglomerate.
What is the relationship between Cosan Group and Cosan S.A.?
Cosan Group is the family office for the Ometto family, who founded and control Cosan S.A., the Brazilian energy and logistics conglomerate. The two entities are separate but share a common origin and strategic overlap — the family office invests in sectors and regions related to Cosan's core businesses, including energy, infrastructure, and logistics.
Does Cosan Group invest in public markets or only private assets?
The firm's known focus is on private equity, infrastructure, real assets, and energy transition — suggesting a bias toward direct and illiquid investments. Public market holdings are not publicly disclosed, but the family office likely maintains some liquidity portfolio, as is standard for large family offices.
Which sectors does Cosan Group focus on?
The firm invests primarily in energy and renewables, infrastructure, real assets, and private equity. Its sector focus reflects the industrial heritage of the Ometto family's conglomerate, with particular emphasis on energy transition, logistics, and physical assets across multiple geographies.
Where does the wealth underlying Cosan Group come from?
The wealth originates from the Ometto family's controlling stake in Cosan S.A., a Brazilian energy and logistics conglomerate founded by Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello. Cosan's operations span sugar and ethanol production, fuel distribution (Raízen), and rail and port logistics (Cosan Logística).
How large is Cosan Group's team?
The firm does not publicly report its professional headcount. Its global office footprint — spanning at least 11 cities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia — suggests a team of significant size, likely in the dozens, but no specific number is confirmed.
Does Cosan Group co-invest with external GPs or work through funds?
The firm's structure as an industrial-family office likely involves direct co-investments and fund commitments in private equity, infrastructure, and energy funds. Public records of specific co-investments or GP relationships are not available, but its global office network and sector focus align with a direct-deal and co-investment model.
