UNISYS-PREVI
Unisys Previ operates as a closed supplementary pension entity structured around a variable contribution plan for employees of Unisys entities in Brazil. The fund was established by Unisys Brasil Ltda., with Unisys Tecnologia Ltda. joining as a co-sponsor, creating a defined governance architecture where the sponsoring companies provide the institutional backing while the pension entity maintains statutory independence. Executive Director Alexandre Rangel Chaves serves as the AETQ (Statistically Qualified Administrator), and Superintendent Director Leonor Seabra holds the ARPB designation (Administrator Responsible for the Benefit Plan), giving the fund dual named fiduciaries with legally defined responsibilities under Brazilian pension regulation. The fund deploys capital across two asset classes that depart from the typical Brazilian pension allocation model. Its real estate portfolio consists of mixed-use properties within Brazil, providing both income generation and inflation-hedging characteristics. Alongside this sits a participant loan portfolio — essentially a private credit book where members borrow against their accumulated balances. This creates a self-contained lending ecosystem: the fund originates, services, and collects on loans to its own participant base, generating yield that stays within the plan rather than flowing to external financial intermediaries. The geographic footprint remains wholly domestic, concentrated in Brazilian real assets and Brazilian-obligor credit. As a closed pension entity, Unisys Previ belongs to Abrapp, the national association that coordinates Brazil's closed pension fund sector. The fund provides the standard suite of participant services common to the country's supplementary pension framework — voluntary contributions, benefit simulations, and loan origination — but operates without publicly disclosed AUM or deployment figures. This opacity aligns with Brazilian closed-pension norms, where only the largest multi-sponsor funds tend to publish detailed financial statements or investment strategy documentation. What distinguishes Unisys Previ structurally is its status as a single-sponsor (or dual co-sponsor) closed entity tied to a technology multinational operating in Brazil. Unlike the massive open-market pension funds that dominate Brazilian asset-allocation discussions — Previ, Petros, Funcef — Unisys Previ serves a narrow, tech-sector constituency. This concentrated participant base shapes its liability profile and investment horizon differently from a broad-based corporate plan. The participant loan program, in particular, functions as a structural feature rarely seen at this scale outside the Brazilian closed-pension system, creating an internal credit cycle that sits entirely within the plan's walls.

Frequently asked questions
Who sponsors Unisys Previ and what is their relationship?
Unisys Brasil Ltda. is the primary sponsor and founder of the pension fund, with Unisys Tecnologia Ltda. serving as a co-sponsor. Both are Brazilian entities of the global Unisys technology corporation. The sponsoring companies provide the institutional backing for the closed pension entity, while the fund itself maintains statutory independence in its administration and benefit-plan management. This dual-sponsor structure is common in Brazilian closed pension funds where a parent company and its operating subsidiary both contribute to the plan.
Who runs investment decisions at Unisys Previ?
Executive Director Alexandre Rangel Chaves holds the AETQ (Statistically Technically Qualified Administrator) designation, and Superintendent Director Leonor Seabra serves as the ARPB (Administrator Responsible for the Benefit Plan). Under Brazilian pension regulation, these statutory roles carry fiduciary responsibility for plan administration, including oversight of the investment portfolio. The fund does not publicly disclose whether it employs an external investment manager or an internal investment committee structure.
What investment assets does Unisys Previ hold?
The fund maintains a mixed-use real estate investment portfolio within Brazil, alongside a participant loan portfolio that functions as an internal private credit book. The real estate holdings provide income generation and inflation-hedging characteristics, while the loan portfolio allows participants to borrow against their accumulated balances. The fund does not publicly disclose its total AUM, deployment figures across these asset classes, or whether it holds any liquid market securities.
How does Unisys Previ's participant loan program work?
The participant loan portfolio allows Unisys Previ members to borrow against their accumulated pension balances. The fund originates, services, and collects on these loans internally, creating a closed-loop credit market where interest payments stay within the plan rather than flowing to external financial institutions. This structure is a common feature of Brazilian closed pension funds, providing liquidity to members while generating yield for the plan.
Is Unisys Previ open to external investment or third-party LPs?
No. Unisys Previ is a closed supplementary pension entity, meaning participation is restricted to employees and associates of the sponsoring companies — Unisys Brasil Ltda. and Unisys Tecnologia Ltda. The fund does not accept external limited partners or outside investors. This aligns with the Brazilian closed-pension regulatory framework, which defines a closed entity as one accessible only to the employees or members of a specific sponsoring organization.
