Galop Capital

What Galop Capital does

Galop Capital Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian asset manager headquartered in the Itaim Bibi district of São Paulo, operating with a 1–10 person team. Founded in 2011 as an investment portfolio manager and legally established in its current form in 2018, the firm runs a vertically integrated platform that combines a regulated multimercado fund with operational agribusiness and proprietary rural property technology. Its core financial product is the Galop Capital FIC FIM (CNPJ 36.428.314/0001-37), a long-biased multimercado Livre fund that targets outperformance of the CDI benchmark using top-down asset allocation across equities, fixed income, and commodities. The fund was launched on April 16, 2020, charges an administration fee of 1.35% p.a. (maximum 2.0%) and a 15% performance fee over CDI levied semi-annually, and requires a R$ 5,000 minimum subscription with D+1 application / D+15 redemption terms. A second vehicle, Galop Farms FIP Multiestrat\u00e9gia, provides exposure to sustainable cattle ranching operations.

Underpinning the platform is Galop Tech, a proprietary technology division developing systems for pasture production maximization, rural property administration, animal traceability, and welfare compliance, plus the Pecuária Sustentável operational initiative spanning three generations of ranching expertise and positioned for pasture recovery and carbon sequestration outcomes. The combination of regulated asset management with operating agribusiness and in-house technology forms the structural basis of the firm's competitive narrative, differentiating it from pure-play Brazilian fund managers.

The business model relies on recurring management fees on a currently modest asset base (NAV R$ 25.9M as of April 29, 2025, vs a 12-month average of R$ 35.2M), supplemented by performance fees contingent on beating the CDI. Distribution is split between the Orama digital investment platform for self-directed retail and affluent subscribers and BTG Pactual's institutional and private banking channel, with BTG Pactual also serving as fund administrator and custodian. PricewaterhouseCoopers audits the funds. Customer segments include individual investors, corporate treasuries, and clients of BTG Pactual-affiliated entities targeting multi-strategy exposure with a commodity and agribusiness tilt. Accumulated return since inception is 53.06% versus CDI 55.42% over the same period, indicating slight benchmark underperformance on a cumulative basis through April 2025.
