What Brasilprev does

Brasilprev is one of the largest open private pension companies in Brazil, operating exclusively in the PGBL (Plano Gerador de Benefício Livre) and VGBL (Vida Gerador de Benefício Livre) segments since its founding in 1993/1995. The company is a joint venture between BB Seguridade — the insurance and pension arm of Banco do Brasil — and Principal Financial Group, and serves over 2.5 million customers with R$471.6 billion in assets under management as of 2025 (R$484.2 billion as of March 2026), representing a 26.5% market share in Brazil's open complementary pension segment. Headquartered in São Paulo with 600+ employees, Brasilprev is privately held and does not trade on any public exchange.

The product platform centers on individual and corporate private pension plans, supported by more than 150 investment fund options. These include five pre-configured multi-market portfolios (Carteira Prudente, Prudente II, Equilibrada, Dinâmica, and Audaz) targeting risk profiles from very low to high, and proprietary Ciclo de Vida lifecycle funds (series 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050) that automatically adjust fixed-income versus variable-income allocation based on the investor's retirement horizon. Brasilprev also offers Brasilprev Júnior for children and youth, corporate pension plans with IRPJ-deductible employer contributions, and a suite of self-service simulators (pension, income, tax benefit, investor profile). Supporting infrastructure includes a WhatsApp service channel, iOS/Android mobile apps, LGPD-compliant data governance with a designated DPO, and AI/ML models powering virtual assistants, satisfaction analysis, and fraud prevention.

Brasilprev generates revenue primarily through recurring management fees on assets under administration, supplemented by transaction-based income from annuity conversions (currently priced at IPCA plus 6% annually, among the most attractive terms in the Brazilian market). Distribution is multi-channel: Banco do Brasil's extensive branch network is the primary channel, complemented by direct digital channels (website, app, WhatsApp), a network of partner corretores (insurance brokers), and a dedicated corporate enterprise sales team. The company is expanding its product surface with new income-conversion options planned for H2 2026 and has broadened its asset management ecosystem through partnerships with Vinland, AZ Quest, Kapitalo, and BB Asset Management.
