Tera Capital
Tera Capital was established in 2015 by senior partners of Pátria Investimentos. The firm manages the private wealth of those partners and additional Brazilian families. Tera Capital deploys capital through direct co-investments, SPVs, private equity, private credit, real estate, hedge funds and distressed situations. It also runs philanthropic and mission-related programs. Confirmed vehicles include VRB Funds. The firm targets seed and Series A opportunities and maintains allocations in Europe, North America and South America. The firm reports $2.9B under management. It operates from São Paulo and partners with Turim Family Office on the VRB Funds Investment Committee. A majority of the investment team holds CFA certifications. Tera Capital maintains VRB Social as its philanthropic vehicle. Tera Capital originated as the private-wealth vehicle for Pátria Investimentos partners. This structure creates a direct link between the family-office mandate and the principals' prior institutional experience.
