Néos Previdência
Alexandre Martins Vita leads Néos Previdência, the 2018 closed-end pension fund for Iberdrola's Neoenergia workforce.
Néos Previdência
Néos Previdência Complementar was founded in 2018 as the dedicated supplemental-pension entity for employees of the Neoenergia Group, the Brazilian subsidiary of Spanish utility giant Iberdrola. The Salvador-based fund operates exclusively as a closed-end pension plan for the sponsor's current and former staff, offering distinct defined-contribution and defined-benefit plans tailored to state-level legacy entities in Bahia, Pernambuco, and Rio Grande do Norte, alongside a general CD plan. Alexandre Martins Vita became Director President in July 2024, succeeding Augusto da Silva Reis, who had led the fund since its inception. The portfolio blends financial investments with a direct real-estate asset — the Suarez Trade commercial building on Avenida Tancredo Neves in Salvador. On the securities side, the fund's principal vehicle is the Néos Fundo de Investimento Financeiro, a multi-asset structure governed by the investment monitoring and management practices Néos highlights as its operational foundation. The institution reports its investment performance monthly to participants, segmented by risk profile, and extends participant credit through a tailored loan program. It added insurance solutions in 2025 via a partnership with Vila Velha, bundling protection products for contributors. Néos has been a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment since 2007 — a commitment inherited from and maintained through Neoenergia Group's broader sustainability architecture. The fund belongs to Abrapp, the national association for closed-end Brazilian pension entities, and operates a dedicated family plan that enrolled more than 1,000 participants by May 2026, allowing coverage to extend to relatives up to the fourth degree. May 2026 additionally marked Néos's participation in the national financial education week (Semana ENEF), reinforcing its participant-directed ethos. The fund's architecture is singular because it functions less like a stand-alone pension fund searching for alpha and more like a captive retirement utility for a single corporate group — its investment committee does not compete for external mandates and its liabilities are entirely tied to the demographics of the Neoenergia workforce. That structure grants it a predictable, non-market-correlated liability stream, but also concentrates its fate alongside the sponsor's Brazilian employment footprint.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Néos Previdência?
The Director President, a role held by Alexandre Martins Vita since July 2024, oversees the fund's management and investment monitoring. Before him, Augusto da Silva Reis led the entity from its 2018 founding until mid-2024. Néos emphasizes rigorous management practices and ethics, though the organization does not publicly name a separate CIO or investment committee.
How is Néos Previdência related to Neoenergia and Iberdrola?
Néos Previdência Complementar is the closed-end supplementary pension fund created specifically for employees of the Neoenergia Group. Neoenergia is the Brazilian subsidiary of Iberdrola, the Spanish multinational electric utility. Néos exists exclusively to serve Neoenergia's current and retired workforce and does not take on external institutional clients.
Is Néos Previdência structured as a single family office or a traditional pension fund?
It is a traditional closed-end pension fund (Entidade Fechada de Previdência Complementar) under Brazilian law, not a family office. The sole sponsor is the Neoenergia Group, and membership is limited to its employees and their families. Its governance and asset allocation follow the regulatory framework for Brazilian EFPCs, with Abrapp membership and PRI signatory status since 2007.
What investment stages or asset classes does Néos typically target?
Néos does not operate as a venture or private equity fund making direct company investments. Disclosed assets include a direct commercial real estate holding — Edifício Suarez Trade in Salvador — and the multi-asset Néos Fundo de Investimento Financeiro. The fund reports participant-facing returns by risk profile monthly, suggesting an allocation across fixed-income and diversified financial instruments common to Brazilian pension mandates, though it does not publish a detailed asset-class breakdown.
Does Néos Previdência maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
Néos does not directly operate a foundation, but its sponsor Neoenergia Group controls Instituto Neoenergia, a separate philanthropic entity. The institute and the pension fund are operationally distinct, though both sit under the same corporate parent (Iberdrola).
What is Néos Previdência's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
There is no public evidence that Néos participates in external GP co-investments or club deals. Its investment structure is self-contained: the direct real-estate asset and the proprietary Néos Fundo de Investimento Financeiro suggest an internal investment management approach rather than deploying capital into third-party alternatives.
Where does the underlying capital come from?
The capital pool is built from employee and employer contributions to the supplementary pension plans of the Neoenergia Group. As a closed-end fund, it is fully captive to the sponsor's payroll-based contribution flow and the accumulated reserves of its defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans.
