Squadra Investments

Squadra Investments is led by a founding team that includes Renato Fávero and Leandro Martins, who serve as portfolio managers and co-CIOs (per public record). The firm maintains a lean decision-making structure with the portfolio managers responsible for all stock selection and allocation.

The firm sources proprietary opportunities primarily through deep relationships with Brazilian company management teams and its network of analysts covering public equities. For private credit, it relies on direct origination via infrastructure and corporate borrowers, often in partnership with investment banks (per public record).

Squadra Investments is classified as an independent asset manager, not a family office. It serves multiple institutional and high-net-worth clients, including pension funds, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds, through separately managed accounts and commingled funds (per public record).

The firm focuses on public equity investments in large and mid-cap Brazilian companies listed on B3, the São Paulo stock exchange. It also participates in private credit deals, typically in infrastructure and corporate debt, with tenors ranging from 3 to 10 years (per public record).

Squadra Investments primarily invests through its own funds, including the flagship Squadra Long Term Equity Fund and private credit FIDCs (Fundos de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios). It does not typically commit as an LP to external fund managers, preferring direct portfolio construction (per public record).
