What Real Grandeza does

Real Grandeza - Fundação de Previdência e Assistência Social is a Brazilian non-profit foundation founded in 1971, headquartered in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, operating as a closed complementary pension entity (Entidade Fechada de Previdência Complementar, EFPC) regulated by PREVIC and, for health operations, by ANS under registration 33131-7. The foundation serves employees of sponsoring companies (empresas patrocinadoras) and their dependents through four pension plans — Plano BD (Defined Benefit), Plano CD (Defined Contribution), FRGPrev, and Futurus — each with its own regulatory framework, contribution modalities, and benefit structures, alongside a health plan portfolio that includes the Plames Ideal product.

The foundation operates a participant-facing technology stack comprising the Portal do Participante (account management and benefit requests), the LGPD-compliant Portal do Titular (personal data rights), the WebPlan health plan portal (provided by Facilinformatica), a geographic provider search tool (FacGeo), a WhatsApp service channel, and integrated telemedicine via Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein. Additional offerings include the Empréstimo FRG loan product backed by pension balances, the 2025-launched Clube Ben discount platform, and the Centro de Convivência Vida e Movimento wellness program. Governance is exercised through a Deliberative Council, Executive Board, and Fiscal Council, with over 20 years of continuously published financial statements and actuarial reports.

The business model is recurring-revenue in nature: pension contributions from sponsoring companies and participants, health plan premiums, and interest and fees on participant loans. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per participant based on salary scale and plan selection. Real Grandeza generates no shareholder returns; surpluses are reinvested into benefits, reserves, and plan solvency under PREVIC oversight. The foundation is recognized with the ABRASCA first-place award in the non-business organizations category, the GHG Protocol Silver Seal for sustainability reporting, the WEPs Brasil Bronze for women's empowerment, and the IIA Official Recognition Seal for internal audit.
