Vita Investimentos

Vita Investimentos

Ricardo Guimarães Filho established Vita Investimentos after serving as Co-Head of Emerging Markets Derivatives at Goldman Sachs. The firm began as a multi-family office serving clients connected to the Guimarães family’s ownership of Banco BMG. Claudia Salles joined as co-founder and later established the separate Vita Advisors LLC entity in the United States. Vita Investimentos allocates across private equity, alternative venture capital structures, and enterprise software. It maintains exposure in both North America and South America. The firm has executed direct investments and maintains relationships with co-investors in these regions. Portfolio construction emphasizes diversification for multi-generational Brazilian families. The firm employs an estimated team size that supports operations in twelve Brazilian cities. In 2025 Turim MFO acquired Vita’s multi-family office business, leaving the accelerator platform as the remaining operating vehicle. Tharcisio Santos continues as Partner and Co-CIO while also holding interests in unrelated operating businesses. Vita Investimentos maintains a hybrid structure that separates its retained accelerator activities from the transferred wealth-management book. This separation allows the remaining entity to focus on B2B scaling services for independent consultancies rather than direct client asset management.
