Vinci Compass

What Vinci Compass does

Vinci Compass is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: VINP) Latin American alternative asset management and corporate advisory platform headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, founded in 2009. As of March 2026, the firm managed and advised on R$347 billion (~US$62 billion) in assets across eleven offices in eight countries (Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay, and the United States), with 501–1,000 employees. The company offers a full suite of alternative investment products including Private Equity (buyout and secondary funds), Credit/Private Debt, Real Estate, Infrastructure, Forestry, Equities, Global Investment Products & Solutions, and Corporate Advisory services, distributed through direct institutional sales, regional offices, and regulated local fund vehicles across Latin America.

The firm's revenue model combines recurring management fees (1.50%–3.90% on equity funds across A/B/C share classes; 2% management fee on alternative funds) with performance/carried interest (typically 20% above hurdle rates) and corporate advisory fees. Following the March 2024 business combination with Compass, the company rebranded as Vinci Compass and has since executed the December 2025 acquisition of Verde Asset Management (R$16 billion AUM) and the April 2026 strategic combination with BACS Asset Management (US$1.6 billion combined AUM), positioning the platform as a pan-regional consolidator in Latin American alternatives.

Vinci Compass's go-to-market is sales-led, targeting institutional investors (pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds), family offices, and high-net-worth individuals through direct local relationships and through its longstanding partnership model — management partners have worked together for over 20 years. The firm has been a Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) signatory since 2012, won consecutive El Mercurio Best Fund Manager awards for Chilean equities (2023–2025), and is covered by major sell-side analysts including JPMorgan (Overweight, US$15 price target), Goldman Sachs, BTG Pactual, UBS, and ITAU BBA.
