Elements of Our Model
We are structured to avoid fragmenting our capital in the long term
We believe in geographic diversification as an intelligent way to mitigate risks
We aim for net absolute returns, after costs and taxes
We measure our returns in a basket of currencies, with the goal of meeting consumption and investment needs from a global investor’s perspective
To achieve our goals, we will strive to reinforce the pillars of our way of doing things, which are expressed in:
Long-Term Vision as a Competitive Advantage
Structurally, the capital we invest requires reduced annual withdrawals. The direct effect of this is that we can remain invested without interrupting the compounding of returns, allowing for an investment horizon of decades.
Direct Investments
By interacting directly with companies and their stakeholders, we mitigate agency conflicts with intermediaries, reduce costs, and provide greater development opportunities for the team through proximity to business matters they are exposed to. We constantly learn, especially from our mistakes, and refine our processes to continue our pursuit of our goals.
We see companies as living and dynamic organisms, made up of a set of relationships that, if well nurtured, become sources of innovation, economic value, and progress.
We understand that there is a virtuous relationship between a low number of companies, a long investment horizon, and a high density of knowledge, resulting from years of accumulated interactions with these companies.
Continuous Development
We value a stable team, investments in development, and an environment that embraces learning from mistakes. Readings, courses, and interaction with experienced people enable us to allocate capital and engage with stakeholders more effectively.
A Collegial Decision-Making Model with Execution Autonomy That Seeks Collective Comfort and Mitigates Biases
All team members are responsible for generating and supporting ideas, providing the foundation for others so that the debate seeks perspectives beyond individual convictions. We constantly seek information that confirms or refutes our theses, aiming to avoid well-known decision biases.
Effective Communication
We believe in a dialogue and collaboration environment as a competency to convey our values, build alignment, promote trust, and save time. We continually seek to refine our ability to synthesize, clarity, and objectivity, without sacrificing kindness and good humor.
Asset Alignment
Beyond clear incentives, we aim for Anima to be the best alternative for wealth management for all team members and their successors, reinforcing the concept of our partnership.
We understand that there is a virtuous relationship between a low number of companies, a long investment horizon, and a high density of knowledge, resulting from the accumulation of interactions with these companies over the years.
