Anima Investments

The origin of our capital is linked to Pedro Passos’ entrepreneurial journey at Natura. We are a partnership, characterized by asset alignment between family and executives, and by continuous development.

We participate in companies in Brazil

Beyond capital, in some companies we are active shareholders, collaborating on key business topics.

We invest globally in quality companies

These are companies that have generated returns above the average of their competitors, allocated capital successfully, and have good reinvestment opportunities.
