What Hemera does

Hemera is a Brazilian financial institution licensed as a DTVM (Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários) under CVM Resolution 175, headquartered in Curitiba with a secondary office in São Paulo. The firm provides fiduciary administration, asset registry, custody, and securities distribution services to fund managers (gestores), structurers (estruturadores), and institutional investors operating in Brazil's capital markets. Its service portfolio covers the full asset lifecycle—acquisition, formalization, settlement, registry, and collection—with special focus on credit rights funds (FIDCs), real estate funds (FIIs), and multi-strategy vehicles (FIPs, FIMs, FIFs). Hemera administers over 100 funds and has participated in 75+ fund migrations.

The company's technology stack is built around proprietary components: HERMES is an in-house electronic signature platform used primarily for commercial note issuance documentation; Motor de Registradoras is an automated registry engine for asset registration and tracking; and Motor de Cobrança is a collection system designed to integrate with external platforms. Hemera also operates its own SPB settlement account (code 448) and was the first DTVM to participate in Nuclea's SITRAF interbank settlement system, alongside direct integration with B3 for clearing operations. The firm is LGPD-compliant and subject to CVM and ANBIMA oversight.

Hemera generates revenue through a mix of recurring and transactional streams: ongoing fund administration fees calculated as a percentage of assets under administration, transaction fees for asset registry (escrituração) and securities distribution, professional services fees from the HERMES platform, managed services for escrow-linked accounts, and transaction fees for clearing and settlement operations. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales targeting institutional fund managers through direct relationship management, with no public pricing disclosed and contracts negotiated per engagement or per fund. The company is founder-controlled, with no parent company or external equity investors disclosed.
