The Brazilian Especial Situations and Distressed Assets Market: Investment Opportunities

The Brazilian special situations and distressed assets market has surpassed a historic milestone, with "special sits" funds holding more available dry powder (R$17.4 billion) than traditional private equity vehicles for the first time. This shift is driven by prolonged high interest rates (the Selic remaining at restrictive levels), a stalled IPO market, and an increase in corporate debt restructurings and judicial recoveries across major sectors.

We have invited this outstanding lineup of speakers to share their perspectives and opportunities in this market.
