Köli Capital

What Köli Capital does

Köli Capital Gestora de Recursos S.A. is a privately held, CVM-licensed Brazilian family office founded in 2016 in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, that delivers tailor-made wealth management to high-net-worth families and individuals. The company operates through a two-pillar platform: Asset Management, which structures and manages credit rights funds (FIDC) and alternative products, and Wealth Management, which offers personalized exclusive funds, individually administered portfolios (Carteiras Administradas), international portfolios (Carteiras Globais) and fiduciary services for estate and succession planning in Brazil and abroad. Its named fund products are Köli Virta FIC FIDC and Köli FIC FIDC RL, both targeting returns above the CDI benchmark through diversified FIDC quotas with high subordination; the funds are administered and custodied by Banco Daycoval and BTG Pactual.

The firm monetizes through recurring management fees (0.90%–1.80% p.a. on net asset value) plus performance fees (10%–15% of the subordinate-junior return) on its fund vehicles, with bespoke portfolio mandates offered on a fee-for-service basis to HNW clients. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, built on a "Tailor Made" methodology that maps each client's life stage, risk profile, liquidity needs and succession objectives before constructing a customized portfolio. Distribution is concentrated through personal client relationships, a corporate LinkedIn presence and a direct website/contact channel; client servicing is supported by an online portal hosted on the Smartbrain platform. There is no proprietary technology stack disclosed and no AI/ML capability indicated.

In 2024 Köli Capital formally joined the Brainvest multi-family office ecosystem, gaining access to its R$ 23 billion in aggregate AUM, 20+ years of operating history and offices in Brazil, the United States and Switzerland. Through this partnership, Köli is also plugged into the Merchant advisor network, which spans 30 Brazilian states via 60+ partnerships and 1,600+ professionals. The firm positions its core differentiator as a "skin-in-the-game" alignment model: all Köli partners invest in the same recommended assets and pay the same fees as external clients, with strict confidentiality (investments held in the client's own CPF) and no distribution-driven conflicts of interest.
