As you all know, 2025 marked a pivotal chapter in our history. It was our first full year operating as a pan-regional platform following our business combination with Compass. I'm deeply proud of all the teams across our countries in Latin America who have worked tremendously to extract the most value from our merger. In 2025, we were able to, right from the start, position our company as a Latin America platform, working together across all teams to drive synergies across products and commercial teams.

Alessandro Horta: We presented our vision for the next cycle and how and why we are well-positioned to capture the growth in alternatives in Latin America. On the same day as our Investor Day, we also announced the acquisition of Verde, which closed in December and added approximately 16 billion BRL in AUM. As we did with Compass, we were able to start working on revenue synergies with the Verde team from the start. We are pleased to share that we have launched the first product born out of the collaboration between the two companies. The Vinci Verde FE Infra or VVFE Infra combines Vinci Compass credit expertise with Verde's well-established multi-strategy track record as co-manager. The feedback from the local community has been great, and we are already seeing strong demand and growing interest from investors, especially in the intermediaries channel at this point.

Alessandro Horta: We view this launch as a clear demonstration of the strategic rationale behind the combination, expanding our solutions set by joining forces, leveraging Verde's team's outstanding track record in multi-strategy funds and strong brand strength across intermediary channels and deepening synergies between the two firms. The collaboration between the teams has just started. We are very excited about what's ahead. Having Luis Stuhlberger and the Verde team as partners is one of the proudest achievements of 2025 and will be an extremely fruitful partnership for the company in 2026 and coming years. Shifting to a brief overview of our Q4 fundraising, we ended the year with BRL 354 billion in total AUM, reflecting not only the impact of inorganic growth, but also strong capital formation and portfolio appreciation across our strategies.

Speaker #3: Only during this quarter, we had $14 billion in capital formation and appreciation favorably impacting our AUM. For the full year, this adds up to $42 billion representing a 13% year-over-year growth.

Alessandro Horta: Only during this quarter, we had 14 billion BRL in capital formation and appreciation favorably impacting our AUM. For the full year, this adds up to 42 billion BRL, representing a 13% year-over-year growth. Our fundraising momentum remained robust across the Global IP&S and credit segments. Infrastructure credit specifically continues to demonstrate strong long-term momentum across multiple vehicles and client segments. The tax-exempt nature of several of these assets create compelling investment opportunities, and we believe Vinci Compass has established itself as a reference manager in this space. The positioning was further reinforced in January 2026 when we won a new BNDES tender process. We are very proud of this achievement, which marks the third time Brazil's Development Bank has appointed Vinci Compass to manage a long-term private credit fund focused on sustainable finance and incorporating strict ESG guidelines.

Speaker #3: Another particularly strong highlight was in real assets, where we signed a $2.8 billion SMA with an Asian LP within our infrastructure strategy. We have been investing a lot of time in Asia and this SMA represents a significant milestone for our platform and reflects the growing interest we have been highlighting throughout the year from global investors seeking alternative investment exposure in Latin America.

We have been investing a lot of time in Asia, this SMA represents a significant milestone for our platform and reflects the growing interest we have been highlighting throughout the year from global investors seeking alternative investment exposure in Latin America. In our view, this can be the first of several mandates that we arrange for global institutional investors to allocate capital to the region. It reinforces our view that the macro backdrop continues to support increased international allocations to the LatAm's opportunities. Turning to private equity, the first couple of months of 2026 have been exciting for this segment. Our team has announced two transactions that increased the liquidity profile of both VCP II and VCP III.

Alessandro Horta: In January, VCP III IPO'd Agibank on the New York Stock Exchange. This marks an important step in the fund's history, crystallizing a 3.8x gross MOC in Brazilian reais and a 35% IRR for VCP III at the IPO price. This is the first step to generating liquidity in this investment, which has been one of the best-performing assets in Fund III. In February, the team signed a definitive agreement for the reverse IPO of CBO, a VCP II portfolio company, into OceanPact, a Novo Mercado-listed company. Upon closing, the combined company will become the second-largest offshore service vessel operator in Brazil and the fifth-largest globally by fleet size, forming a scaled and diversified offshore and environmental services platform with long-term contracted backlog.

Speaker #3: This quarter, through the combination of markups in VCP4 and appreciation in our listed REITs position, we noticed a very positive impact on our unrealized RRE.

Alessandro Horta: This quarter, through the combination of markups in VCP IV and appreciation in our listed REITs position, we noticed a very positive impact on our unrealized RE. As we underlined during our Investor Day, we expect this phase of the RE cycle, characterized by portfolio appreciation, to continue supporting unrealized gains from our proprietary commitments in closed-end funds. Towards the end of the cycle, we expect to realize the value of these investments, which will then reflect in our realized RE and distributable earnings. This accomplishment across the three vintages underscore the team's outstanding ability not only to source compelling opportunities, but also to actively create value within portfolio companies and execute successful divestments, reinforcing our discipline and hands-on approach to value creation.

Speaker #3: On the deployment side, the current macro environment continues to create attractive entry opportunities, positioning VCP4 adventurously as private markets present compelling entry multiples relative to historical levels.

Alessandro Horta: On the deployment side, the current macro environment continues to create attractive entry opportunities, positioning VCP IV advantageously as private markets present compelling entry multiples relative to historical levels. Looking ahead, the expected start of a monetary easing cycle would gradually reduce debt service costs for leveraged companies and lower discount rates in Brazil. The conditions for this move appear increasingly well-established, and expectations of monetary easing have already supported a rerating of domestic assets. That said, we do anticipate periods of volatility, particularly considering upcoming electoral cycles in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. In addition, we remain attentive to the broader global macroeconomic environment and its potential impact on alternative managers' portfolios. However, our business was built to navigate and capitalize on volatility and market dislocation. We have a natural hedge across geographies and strategies with the opportunity and flexibility to allocate capital locally, regionally, and globally.

Alessandro Horta: This structural resilience is directly linked to the stage we have reached as a firm, clearly differentiating us from the other local and regional players. As we enter the new year, we do so with a clear set of opportunities in front of us and an extensive fundraising pipeline that Bruno will address shortly. We firmly believe that the strength, scalability, and diversification of Vinci Compass position us to continue displaying healthy growth in 2026, deepening our leadership across Latin America and continue delivering long-term value for our shareholders.

Speaker #1: Thank you, Alessandro and good evening, everyone. In January, we marked the fifth anniversary of our IPO, an opportunity to recognize how far we have come as a public company and to reaffirm the long-term vision that has guided our the present and looking ahead, I would like to take a moment to reflect on our journey.

Bruno: Thank you, Alessandro Horta. Good evening everyone. In January, we marked the fifth anniversary of our IPO, an opportunity to recognize how far we have come as a public company and to reaffirm the long-term vision that has guided our execution. Before discussing the present and looking ahead, I would like to take a moment to reflect on our journey. From the outset, our objective was to deepen and diversify our asset allocation capability in Brazil through complementary strategies while building towards a pan-regional platform. We have made significant progress on both sides. On the capital deployment side, we committed approximately BRL 1.4 billion worth of GP commitments into our proprietary funds and gains from these investments compose our investment related earnings or IRE.

Speaker #1: The portfolio has a gross blended target IR of $18 to 20 percent and an expected realized IR annual run rate contribution of more than $100 million.

Bruno: The portfolio has a gross blended target IRR of 18% to 20% and an expected realized IRR annual run rate contribution of more than BRL 100 million based on a normalized realization schedule for capital gains between 2028 and 2031. The capital invested has leveraged fundraising by 13x, meaning that for every real we committed, we raised roughly BRL 13 from our limited partners. The commitments are instrumental to successful fundraising, anchoring the funds and assisting the attraction of institutional investors in the early rounds of fundraising. This represents value creation reflected across multiple fronts, strengthening our recurring earnings base while also enhancing the long-term return profile of our capital.

Bruno: We are close to the end of this first cycle of deployment into funds and intend to keep it as a staple of the platform, anchoring fundraising for our strategies and driving capital gains and FRE growth for Vinci Compass. In parallel, we executed a series of strategic acquisitions that strengthened our business mix in Brazil and supported our evolution into a pan-regional platform. By the end of 2025, we had funded our M&A transactions with approximately BRL 400 million in cash and issued close to 15 million shares to our new partners. Considering 2025 numbers and accounting for potential earn-out payments based on results achieved so far, our blended EV to FRE multiple on a post-tax basis was 8.6x on these acquisitions. This underscores our commitment to smart capital allocations, focusing on complementing our asset base and driving shareholder value through accretive transactions.

Bruno: On top of IRE results and M&A activity, we have been extremely active on capital return to our shareholders, having distributed over BRL 1.4 billion on dividends and share buybacks since our IPO. This disciplined execution has brought us to a new stage as a firm as we enter 2026 with a clear sense that we are on the right trajectory. The platform has been substantially complemented with new strategies, distribution capabilities, and increased regional and global reaches. The progress we delivered in 2025 offers a strong snapshot of the potential and scalability of our platform going forward as we achieve BRL 42 billion of capital formation and appreciation for the full year of 2025.

Speaker #1: During the fourth quarter, we generated $14 billion in capital formation. As Alessandro mentioned, a highlight was the $2.8 billion SMA mandate to invest in infrastructure assets across Latin America.

Bruno: As Alessandro Horta mentioned, a highlight was the BRL 2.8 billion SMA mandate to invest in infrastructure assets across Latin America. This capital will begin contributing to FEAUM as deployment progresses. We view this achievement as highly encouraging and believe it may represent the first of several SMAs focused on Latin American investment opportunities that we expect to originate over time following the nascent cyclical improvement in the region. Beyond this mandate, the largest contributions during both the quarter and the year came from Global IP&S and credit as anticipated. Global IP&S delivered another strong quarter in our TPD business with BRL 4.6 billion in net inflows. The largest share came from the liquid platform as most of the TPD alternatives commitments we expected for the year were signed earlier in 2025. We expect TPD to continue exhibiting strong momentum as global allocations expand.

Speaker #1: The largest share came from the liquid platform, as most of the TPD alternatives commitments we expected for the year were signed earlier in 2025.

Speaker #1: We expect TPD to continue exhibiting strong momentum as global allocations expand. In addition, the segment is launching a series of new discretionary allocation products designed to provide Latin American investors with diversified exposure to portfolios of semi-liquid funds across developed markets, while also allowing us to increase fees in these segments.

Bruno: In addition, the segment is launching a series of new discretionary allocation products designed to provide Latin American investors with diversified exposure to portfolios of semi-liquid funds across developed markets, while also allowing us to increase fees in this segment. Now, let me spend a bit of time on credit, which remains one of the most dynamic areas of our platform. Credit continues to be a cornerstone of our platform. We see ample room to expand market share across both local strategies and regional solutions. In Q4, our credit vertical delivered approximately BRL 3 billion of capital formation appreciation, contributing to a total of roughly BRL 10 billion for the full year. As a result, credit AUM reached BRL 36 billion, up 25% year-over-year. The breadth of our credit franchise is a key differentiator.

We operate with multiple specialized teams across the region, and we continue to increase information flow and coordination across these groups to ensure we are capturing synergies in origination, structuring capabilities, and most importantly, risk management.

Bruno: We operate with multiple specialized teams across the region. We continue to increase information flow and coordination across these groups to ensure we are capturing synergies in origination, structuring capabilities, and most importantly, risk management. The LatAm corporate debt strategy is a clear sign of the growing regional interest. We recorded more than BRL 300 million of net inflows in the quarter and BRL 2.4 billion for the full year, supported by a diversified investor base across multiple geographies and capping a solid year for the strategy. We're encouraged by the breadth of this demand and expect additional inflows following continued commercial efforts expected for 2026. In infrastructure credit, as Alessandro Horta mentioned, we are launching a new product following the winning of a BNDES tender process.

Speaker #1: The new fund will be co-managed by the high-grade credit and MAV teams, once again demonstrating the strategic rationale behind our acquisitions and the synergies across the platform.

Bruno: The new fund will be co-managed by the high-grade credit and MAV teams, once again demonstrating the strategic rationale behind our acquisitions and the synergies across the platform. The fund will target sectors ranging from energy transition and decarbonization to nature-based solutions with an expected term of 12 years. Its structure is innovative, featuring multiple local fund vehicles and a combination of subordinated mezzanine and senior tranches designed to address different investment profiles, particularly considering the tax-exempt characteristic of certain vehicles. We also expect several additional product launches across the entire region in 2026. In Colombia, we are preparing to launch our first local fund, COPCO, a direct corporate private lending vehicle primarily targeting institutional investors. In Chile, we're currently on roadshow for the second vintage of our direct lending strategy, Chilco. The first vintage was highly successful and has recently completed investment periods.

Speaker #1: In Peru, we are seeing strong interest from local investors in LAPCO2, which is also expected to launch this year. To round out our credit pipeline, we expect additional commitments from SPS4 ahead of the fund's final closing, which is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Bruno: In Peru, we're seeing strong interest from local investors in LAPCO Two, which is also expected to launch this year. To round out our credit pipeline, we expect additional commitments from SBS IV ahead of the fund's final closing, which is scheduled for the second half of 2026. This strategy is gaining increased momentum, particularly among Chilean and global investors following its first offshore commitment in Q3. In equities, we recorded net outflows in Q4, concentrated among foreign investors in our Brazilian equity strategy. These investors typically have a more counter-cyclical profile and increased their exposure in mid-2024 when Brazilian equities were trading at more depressed valuations. Looking ahead, we remain very optimistic about our UCITS LatAm and Brazil funds and are already in advanced discussions with several institutional investors for commitments into these strategies.

Speaker #1: Shifting to real assets, in 2025, the infrastructure team partnered with Shangyi and acquired a controlling stake in Rio de Janeiro's International Airport, Galeão. We are preparing for the March auction for the airport's new concession contract.

Bruno: Shifting to real assets, in 2025, the infrastructure team partnered with Changi and acquired a controlling stake in RIOgaleão. We are preparing for the March auction for the airport's new concession contract. Within this segment, we also expect new commitments for Lacan IV this year under our forestry strategy, reflecting continued institutional interest in real asset exposure. In real estate, we remain attentive to the potential reopening of market windows following Selic cuts, which could create a more favorable environment to raise capital for our REITs. As you know, REITs remain one of the most attractive investment vehicles for individual investors in the Brazilian capital markets. At the same time, we continue to advance with other opportunities within real assets, including our opportunistic development fund strategy focused on industrial and residential segments.

Bruno: This strategy enhances our diversification and earnings potential as it attracts institutional investors such as pension funds and family offices, while complementing our income-oriented products and adding carry optionality to the platform. Overall, we enter 2026 with strong momentum and clear visibility across product launches, institutional mandates, and multi-country fundraising initiatives. The combination of a broader distribution, a very comprehensive product shelf, and ongoing operational enhancements give us confidence in our ability to continue compounding growth. With that, I'll hand it to Sergio to walk through the financial results.

Reflect across multiple fronts and delivered to shareholders through a dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on 02 April to shareholders of record as of 19 March. Let me start by walking you through our revenues. In management fees, we generated BRL 220 million in Q4, up 29% year-over-year. This growth reflects the combined effect of our strategic transactions, including Compass, Lacan, and Verde, as well as strong fundraising momentum, particularly within credit and Global IP&S. It's also important to note that Verde contributed to our results for only one month in Q4, following the closing in December. Advisory fees totaled BRL 15 million in Q4, posting a decrease year-over-year.

Speaker #2: As a reminder, upfront fees in our third-party distribution alternative business can vary meaningfully depending on the timing of commitments, and we signed most of our commitments earlier in 2025.

Sergio: As a reminder, upfront fees in our third-party distribution alternative business can vary meaningfully depending on the timing of commitments, and we signed most of our commitments early in 2025. In addition, advisory revenues from corporate advisory were lower in the quarter given quieted deal activity. Turning to Fee-Related Earnings. We generated BRL 8 million of FRE in the quarter, or BRL 1.23 per share with a 32.6% FRE margin. The year-over-year comparison was partially impacted by catch-up fees, recognizing the private equity segment in Q4 2024. Excluding that non-recurring effect, FRE grew 26% year-over-year, driven primarily by fundraising across credit and Global IP&S and acquisitions executed during the period. For the full year 2025, FRE reached BRL 288 million, or BRL 4.52 per share with a full year margin of 30.4%.

Speaker #2: For the full year 2025, FRE reached $288 million or $4.52 per share, with a full year margin of 30.4%. We are very pleased to have delivered FRE margin we have been targeting throughout the year.

Sergio: We are very pleased to have delivered FRE margin we have been targeting throughout the year. The improvement in margin reflects operating leverage from revenue growth, combined with the cost reduction initiatives we began implementing at the start of the year, as well as a small but present Verde contribution following the acquisition. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect continued momentum in FRE growth, supported by our strong fundraising pipeline and the full contribution of Verde's revenue and FRE. Moving to performance-related earnings. We have recognized BRL 5 million of PRE in the quarter, primarily across Global IP&S, credit, and equities. Performance fees normalized after a strong Q4 last year, which included one-off contributions from opportunistic funds in Argentina and Peru. On investment-related earnings, or IRE, we posted a record BRL 45 million in the quarter.

Speaker #2: On investment-related earnings, or IRE, we posted a record $45 million in the quarter. The unrealized component benefited from positive year-end markups in our private markets IRE commitments, combined with appreciation in our listed REIT positions.

Sergio: The unrealized component benefited from positive year-end markups in our private markets IRE commitments, combined with appreciation in our listed REIT positions. This reflects the embedded value creation within our balance sheet commitments, which remain an important driver of long-term earnings power. Before moving to distributable earnings, I want to highlight an important reporting change. Starting this quarter, all the comprehensive income or OCI, which reflects foreign exchange variations, now flows to our distributable earnings, adjusted distributable earnings, and adjusted net income. Up to Q3 of 2025, OCI did not impact the adjusted metrics. We believe this change provides a more comprehensive view of our results as it incorporates the impact of our consolidated US dollar exposures and presents our performance in a more holistic manner.

For the full year, adjusted distributable earnings totaled BRL 292 million or BRL 4.58 per share, reflecting 22% nominal growth and 7% growth per share. The Q4 and full year 2025 underscored our disciplined approach to growth and capital allocation, leaving us well-positioned for continued progress in 2026.

Lindsay Shima: Hi, good evening, team, and thank you for taking my question. I have two questions, actually. Let's maybe start on the first, which is a bit broader. It seems like you have strong fundraising expectations for the year, but as you said, you know, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of elections in the region. Do you get the sense that maybe there's some money on the sidelines, and if the elections go in a certain direction, there could be a big increase towards the end of the year? Is there anything you're kind of looking for in elections that could be a big catalyst and kind of just, in general, what are you thinking about elections and the impact on fundraising? I'll ask my second question after.

Lindsey Shima: Hi, good evening, team, and thank you for taking my question. I have two questions, actually. Let's maybe start on the first, which is a bit broader. It seems like you have strong fundraising expectations for the year, but as you said, you know, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of elections in the region.

Speaker #3: Hi. Good evening, team, and thank you for taking my question. I have two questions, actually. Let's maybe start on the first, which is a bit broader.

Speaker #3: It seems like you have strong fundraising expectations for the year, but as you said, there’s a lot of uncertainty—a lot of elections in the region.

Speaker #3: Do you get the sense that maybe there's some money on the sidelines? And if the elections go in a certain direction, there could be a big increase towards the end of the year?

Speaker #3: Is there anything you're kind of looking for in elections that could be a big catalyst? And kind of just in general, what are you thinking about elections and the impact on fundraising?

Lindsey Shima: Is there anything you're kind of looking for in elections that could be a big catalyst and kind of just, in general, what are you thinking about elections and the impact on fundraising? I'll ask my second question after.

Speaker #3: And then I'll ask my second question after.

Speaker #4: Hello, Lindsay. This is Bruno. Yeah, so we had I think we had a good 25 in regards to AOM. We had a 13%, if I'm not mistaken, 13% growth in our AOM on a year-on-year basis.

Bruno: Hello, Lindsay. This is Bruno. I think we had a good 2025 in regards to AUM. We had a 13%, if I'm not mistaken, 13% growth in our AUM, on a year-on-year basis, if you take out the effects from the exchange rate variation that was against us in 2025 when you look at the realized number. I think that number was healthy, and it is a number that we are expecting to hopefully repeat this low double-digit growth rate on a currency adjusted basis for 2026. As we said, there's a very big pipeline, mainly in the credit segment. We have 6 or 7 funds that are structured funds across the region, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Brazil.

Bruno Zaremba: Hello, Lindsay. This is Bruno. I think we had a good 2025 in regards to AUM. We had a 13%, if I'm not mistaken, 13% growth in our AUM, on a year-on-year basis, if you take out the effects from the exchange rate variation that was against us in 2025 when you look at the realized number.

Speaker #4: If you take out the effects from the exchange rate variation that was against us in '25, when you look at the REI's number, I think that number was healthy.

Speaker #4: And in the number that we are expecting, we hope to repeat this low double-digit growth rate on a currency-adjusted basis for '26. As we said, there is a very big pipeline, mainly in the credit segment.

Speaker #4: We have six or seven funds that are structured funds across the region: Colombia, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Brazil. So there's a lot of different strategies and opportunities to raise capital there.

Bruno: There's a lot of different strategies and opportunities to raise capital there. I think other than I think elections are obviously one of the variables, but more than elections, I think the main variable for us is the impact from cyclicality on products that are more correlated with interest rates. This is something that obviously over the last few years has been idle for us. If you look at our equities business, if you look at our real estate business, and even the Brazilian investment solutions business, we have had a little bit more a challenge to raise capital in these verticals.

Speaker #4: I think, other than the—I think elections are obviously one of the variables. But more than elections, I think the main variable for us is the impact from cyclicality on the products that are more correlated with interest rates.

Speaker #4: So this is something that obviously, over the next over the last few years, has been idle for us. So if you look at our equities business, if you look at our real estate business, and even the Brazilian investment solutions business, we have had a little bit more challenge to raise capital in these verticals.

Bruno: With now we're seeing for the first time in a very long time, real interest rates, the long-term curve starting to come in. Obviously, there's an expectation of lowering rates, and we saw that through the REITs performance during Q4. Now, the Q1, again, we're seeing good REIT performance in the portfolio. This is a variable that has a more of an impact. Obviously, interest rate curve has by itself a correlation with the election outlook. At the end of the day, what impacts us is the curve, right?

Speaker #4: And with now we're seeing for the first time in a very long time, real interest rates, the long-term curve starting to come in. And obviously, there's an expectation of lowering rates, and we saw that through the REITs performance during the fourth quarter.

Bruno Zaremba: With now we're seeing for the first time in a very long time, real interest rates, the long-term curve starting to come in. Obviously, there's an expectation of lowering rates, and we saw that through the REITs performance during Q4. Now, the Q1, again, we're seeing good REIT performance in the portfolio. This is a variable that has a more of an impact. Obviously, interest rate curve has by itself a correlation with the election outlook. At the end of the day, what impacts us is the curve, right?

Speaker #4: Now the first quarter, again, we're seeing good REIT performance. In the portfolio. So this is a variable that has more of an impact. Obviously, interest rate curve has by itself a correlation with the election outlook.

Speaker #4: But at the end of the day, what impacts us is the curve, right? So if we are in a position where the curve is more benign, and we see that coming down, and with that creating an opportunity for us to grow in these more cyclical asset classes, I think that would be very, very positive for the platform.

Bruno: If we are in a position where the curve is more benign, and we see that coming down and with that, create an opportunity for us to grow in these more cyclical asset classes, I think that would be very, very positive for the platform. The 13% that we did last year growth, was without the contribution of the cyclical groups. If we can have real estate REITs, local Brazilian investment solutions, equities participating, I think this would be a tremendous uplift to the expectations of further AUM gains.

Bruno Zaremba: If we are in a position where the curve is more benign, and we see that coming down and with that, create an opportunity for us to grow in these more cyclical asset classes, I think that would be very, very positive for the platform. The 13% that we did last year growth, was without the contribution of the cyclical groups. If we can have real estate REITs, local Brazilian investment solutions, equities participating, I think this would be a tremendous uplift to the expectations of further AUM gains.

Speaker #4: So the 13% that we did last year growth was without a contribution of the cyclical groups. So if we can have real estate REITs local Brazilian investment solutions, equities participating, I think this would be a tremendous uplift to the expectations of further AOM gains.

Speaker #3: Definitely makes sense on the interest rate side. And then maybe for my second question, a bit more specific, just trying to get a sense of how to model the advisory fees line going forward.

Lindsay Shima: Definitely makes sense on the interest rate side. Maybe for my second question, a bit more specific, just trying to get a sense of how to model the advisory fees line going forward. I mean, understand that the TPD alts up fronts can be kind of chunky depending on when you expect them. I mean, one, do you have any expectations for kind of how the timing is gonna go throughout 2026? Or is it better to, you know, maybe just annualize the 2025 level? Second, on the corporate advisory side, how much of an increase do you kind of expect this year in deal-making activity from the expected decrease in rates? Kind of where can that number go to? Thanks.

Lindsey Shima: Definitely makes sense on the interest rate side. Maybe for my second question, a bit more specific, just trying to get a sense of how to model the advisory fees line going forward. I mean, understand that the TPD alts up fronts can be kind of chunky depending on when you expect them. I mean, one, do you have any expectations for kind of how the timing is gonna go throughout 2026? Or is it better to, you know, maybe just annualize the 2025 level?

Speaker #3: I mean, understand that the TPD alts up front can be kind of chunky, depending on when you expect them. I mean, one, do you have any expectations for how the timing is going to go throughout 2026?

Speaker #3: Or is it better to maybe just annualize the 2025 level? And then second, on the corporate advisory side, how much of an increase do you kind of expect this year in dealmaking activity from the expected decrease in rates?

Lindsey Shima: Second, on the corporate advisory side, how much of an increase do you kind of expect this year in deal-making activity from the expected decrease in rates? Kind of where can that number go to? Thanks.

Speaker #3: And kind of where can that number go to? Thanks.

Speaker #4: Okay. So we have a little bit more visibility at this point on the corporate advisor, at least the first half looks like at least for now, it's going to continue to be more on the softer end.

Bruno: Okay. We have a little bit more visibility at this point on the corporate advisory. At least the first half looks like, at least for now, it's gonna continue to be more on the softer end. We do have some transactions that are in the pipe, but the volume is still not as relevant as we saw in 2022 and 2023. Or mainly 2023, I would say. It was a good year for us. We're still lagging in terms of volume and the level of advisory mandates that we have that are in line to be closed. I would expect at least the first half to be a little bit slower, like what we saw in 2025.

Bruno Zaremba: Okay. We have a little bit more visibility at this point on the corporate advisory. At least the first half looks like, at least for now, it's gonna continue to be more on the softer end. We do have some transactions that are in the pipe, but the volume is still not as relevant as we saw in 2022 and 2023. Or mainly 2023, I would say. It was a good year for us. We're still lagging in terms of volume and the level of advisory mandates that we have that are in line to be closed. I would expect at least the first half to be a little bit slower, like what we saw in 2025.

Speaker #4: So, we do have some transactions that are in the pipe, but the volume is still not as relevant as we saw in '22 and '23.

Speaker #4: Or mainly '23, I would say. That was a good year for us. We're still lagging in terms of volume and the level of advisory mandates that we have that are in line to be closed.

Speaker #4: So I would expect at least the first half to be a little bit slower, like what we saw in '25. And in regards to the upfront on the global IPNS side, it's really very tough to say when those will fall.

Bruno: In regards to the upfront, on the Global IP&S side, it's really very tough to say when those will fall. As you said, it really depends on the calendar and how the fundraisings fall over the year. Overall, we expect 26 to be slightly lower than 25 on the advisory, on the upfront as well. Advisory probably at the same level, and then upfront a little bit slower than we saw in 25, given the calendar that we have. Timing the quarterly, the quarterly, like every quarter, how that will fall at this point is very, very difficult, Lindsay.

Bruno Zaremba: In regards to the upfront, on the Global IP&S side, it's really very tough to say when those will fall. As you said, it really depends on the calendar and how the fundraisings fall over the year. Overall, we expect 26 to be slightly lower than 25 on the advisory, on the upfront as well. Advisory probably at the same level, and then upfront a little bit slower than we saw in 25, given the calendar that we have. Timing the quarterly, the quarterly, like every quarter, how that will fall at this point is very, very difficult, Lindsay.

Speaker #4: As you said, it really depends on the calendar and how the fundraisings fall over the year. Overall, we expect '26 to be slightly lower than '25 on the advisory on the upfront as well.

Speaker #4: So, advisory probably at the same level, and then upfront a little bit slower than we saw in '25, given the calendar that we have.

Speaker #4: But timing the quarterly the quarterly every quarter, how that will fall at this point is very difficult, Lindsay. So what I can say that directionally, the overall advisory line if you add upfront and corporate advisory is likely going to be a little bit smaller than '25.

Bruno: What I can say that directionally, the overall advisory line, if you add upfront and corporate advisory is likely gonna be a little bit smaller than 25.

Bruno Zaremba: What I can say that directionally, the overall advisory line, if you add upfront and corporate advisory is likely gonna be a little bit smaller than 25.

Speaker #3: Got it. So it seems like the impact from corporate advisory would not be enough to offset the TPD alts?

Lindsay Shima: Got it. It seems like the impact from corporate advisory would not be enough to offset the TPD alts.

Lindsey Shima: Got it. It seems like the impact from corporate advisory would not be enough to offset the TPD alts.

Speaker #4: Yeah, that's how it's looking like today. But these things change. But as far as we can forecast, we see that total advisory line a little bit down when compared with '25.

Bruno: Yeah. That's how it is looking like today. These things change, but as far as we can forecast, we see that total advisory line a little bit down when compared with 2025.

Bruno Zaremba: Yeah. That's how it is looking like today. These things change, but as far as we can forecast, we see that total advisory line a little bit down when compared with 2025.

Speaker #3: Amazing. Thank you so much.

Lindsay Shima: Amazing. Thank you so much.

Lindsey Shima: Amazing. Thank you so much.

Speaker #1: Our next question comes from Ricardo Bottiglio from BTG Petro. Please go ahead.

Operator: Our next question comes from Ricardo Botelho from BTG Pactual. Please go ahead.

Operator: Our next question comes from Ricardo Botelho from BTG Pactual. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Hi, everyone. I have two questions here. So first, we saw that in the last couple of quarters, there was amortization of some of the cost synergies related to the M&A appearing.

Ricardo Botelho: Hi, everyone. I have two questions here. First, we saw that in the last couple of quarters with, there was a materialization of some of the cost synergies related to the M&A appearing, particularly, as we see the SRA margins going up, mainly in Q3 and then a little bit more in Q4. I wanted to ask, what is the next step in terms of M&A synergies to be captured, particularly in 26, right? Where would that appear in the results? I ask my second question.

Ricardo Botelho: Hi, everyone. I have two questions here. First, we saw that in the last couple of quarters with, there was a materialization of some of the cost synergies related to the M&A appearing, particularly, as we see the SRA margins going up, mainly in Q3 and then a little bit more in Q4. I wanted to ask, what is the next step in terms of M&A synergies to be captured, particularly in 26, right? Where would that appear in the results? I ask my second question.

Speaker #5: Particularly, as we see the SRA margins going up, mainly in Q3 and then a little bit more in Q4, I wanted to ask: what is the next step in terms of M&A synergies to be captured, particularly in 2026, right?

Speaker #5: And where would that appear in the results? And then I ask my second question.

Speaker #4: So, thank you, Ricardo. That's Alessandro. Of course, the low-hanging fruit type of synergies we're already incorporating in the numbers. But still, there are a lot of other opportunities moving forward.

Alessandro Horta: Thank you, Ricardo Botelho. That's Alessandro Horta. Of course, the low-hanging fruit type of synergies we already incorporating in the numbers. Still there are a lot of other opportunities moving forward. We're looking for optimization of the structure, procurement, also rationalizing our investment in strategies and people, expanding some of our strategies through other geographies. Still, inside the M&A and of course, Compass is the most relevant one, the transaction of our combination of Compass, we see interesting possibilities to continue appropriating of this value. Of course, there is more recent ones like Verde that we kept as a more like segregate in terms of strategy. Still, we do have some synergies, especially from the commercial side in Verde, for example.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: Thank you, Ricardo Botelho. That's Alessandro Horta. Of course, the low-hanging fruit type of synergies we already incorporating in the numbers. Still there are a lot of other opportunities moving forward. We're looking for optimization of the structure, procurement, also rationalizing our investment in strategies and people, expanding some of our strategies through other geographies. Still, inside the M&A and of course, Compass is the most relevant one, the transaction of our combination of Compass, we see interesting possibilities to continue appropriating of this value.

Speaker #4: We are looking for the optimization of the structure, procurement, also rationalizing our investment in strategies and people, expanding some of our strategies through other geographies.

Speaker #4: So still, inside the M&A—and, of course, Compass is the most relevant one. The transaction of our combination with Compass, we see interesting possibilities to continue appropriating this value.

Speaker #4: Of course, there is more recent ones like Verge that we kept as a more like segregate in terms of strategy. But still, we do have some synergies, es, especially from the commercial side in Verge, for example.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: Of course, there is more recent ones like Verde that we kept as a more like segregate in terms of strategy. Still, we do have some synergies, especially from the commercial side in Verde, for example.

Speaker #4: So answering your question straightforward, yes, we still see synergies to be captured moving forward from the previous M&A activities.

Alessandro Horta: Answer your question straightforward, yes, we still see, a cap, synergies to be captured moving forward from the previous M&A activities.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: Answer your question straightforward, yes, we still see, a cap, synergies to be captured moving forward from the previous M&A activities.

Speaker #5: Oh, that's clear. And should we see some improvement, for example, in inflows related to these commercial synergies that you mentioned, already appearing in 2026?

Ricardo Botelho: Well, that's clear. Should we see something, some improvement, for example, in inflows related to this commercial synergies that you mentioned already appear in 2026, or it should be something more relevant for 2027 onwards?

Ricardo Botelho: Well, that's clear. Should we see something, some improvement, for example, in inflows related to this commercial synergies that you mentioned already appear in 2026, or it should be something more relevant for 2027 onwards?

Speaker #5: Or should it be something more relevant for '27 onwards?

Speaker #4: No, we probably will see already we mentioned in our previous in the call that we are launching new products with Verge, for instance. So we will see gains of that.

Alessandro Horta: No, you probably will see already, we mentioned in our previous in the call that we are launching new products with Verde, for instance. We will see gains of that. New products that we are launching from the alts alternatives for local markets in other countries through our expertise and also the commercial effort coming from Compass presence in the countries. Yes, we do see that we will probably capture some of these commercial efforts within 2026. Of course, that will ramp up, we probably will see some of these numbers appear in 2026.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: No, you probably will see already, we mentioned in our previous in the call that we are launching new products with Verde, for instance. We will see gains of that. New products that we are launching from the alts alternatives for local markets in other countries through our expertise and also the commercial effort coming from Compass presence in the countries. Yes, we do see that we will probably capture some of these commercial efforts within 2026. Of course, that will ramp up, we probably will see some of these numbers appear in 2026.

Speaker #4: New products that we are launching from the alts alternatives for local markets in other countries through our expertise and also the commercial effort coming from Compass presence in the countries.

Speaker #4: So yes, we do see that we will probably capture some of these commercial efforts within 2026. Of course, that will ramp up, but we probably will see some of these numbers appear in 2026.

Speaker #5: And that's clear. And for my second question, I wanted to see if you can talk a little bit more about the expectations in terms of the investment-related earnings in 2026, both in terms of realized and unrealized portions, right?

Ricardo Botelho: That's clear. For my second question, I wanted to see if you can talk a little bit more about the expectation in terms of the investment-related earnings in 2026, both in terms of realized and unrealized portions, right? I understand there are a few moving parts here since you need to keep investing the capital proceeds. It'd be very helpful to get any guidance on this line for this year. Thank you.

Ricardo Botelho: That's clear. For my second question, I wanted to see if you can talk a little bit more about the expectation in terms of the investment-related earnings in 2026, both in terms of realized and unrealized portions, right? I understand there are a few moving parts here since you need to keep investing the capital proceeds. It'd be very helpful to get any guidance on this line for this year. Thank you.

Speaker #5: I understand there are a few moving parts here since you need to keep investing the capital proceeds. So it will be very helpful to get any guidance on this line for this year.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Bruno: Thank you for that question, Bruno. Yeah. I think the IRE is what's happening now is I think we're getting to the interesting part of the IRE developments, because over the past couple of years, or a year and a half, it wasn't a very good point, right? Because we were in the deployment phase, and the funds were in the J curve. We had a situation where we were taking money out of short-term rates, which are at a very high level.

Speaker #4: Thank you for that question, because, Bruno, so yeah, so I think the IREs is what's happening now is I think we're getting to the interesting part of the IRE development because over the past couple of years, or a year and a half, it wasn't a very good point, right?

Bruno Zaremba: Thank you for that question, Bruno. Yeah. I think the IRE is what's happening now is I think we're getting to the interesting part of the IRE developments, because over the past couple of years, or a year and a half, it wasn't a very good point, right? Because we were in the deployment phase, and the funds were in the J curve. We had a situation where we were taking money out of short-term rates, which are at a very high level.

Speaker #4: Because we were in the deployment phase. And the funds were in the J curve. So we had a situation where we were taking money out of short-term rates, which are at a very high level.

Speaker #4: And putting money into these funds that weren't the beginning of their life cycle within the J curve and not really contributing a lot to profitability.

Alessandro Horta: Putting money into these funds that were in the beginning of their life cycle, within the J-curve and not really contributing a lot to profitability. I think in Q4, we saw for the first time, mark to market in one of the funds that we have contributed capital, which was VCP IV on top of the appreciation of the REITs. Given that the fund is now out of the J-curve, we would expect this movement to start being more material going forward. As VCP IV, SPS IV, VICC, these three main funds in which the balance sheet of the company has a bigger exposure, are getting out of the J-curve. This should materialize in higher unrealized IRE.

Bruno Zaremba: Putting money into these funds that were in the beginning of their life cycle, within the J-curve and not really contributing a lot to profitability. I think in Q4, we saw for the first time, mark to market in one of the funds that we have contributed capital, which was VCP IV on top of the appreciation of the REITs. Given that the fund is now out of the J-curve, we would expect this movement to start being more material going forward.

Speaker #4: I think in the fourth quarter, we saw for the first time mark-to-market in one of the funds that we have contributed capital, which was VCP4.

Speaker #4: On top of the appreciation of the REITs. And given that the fund is now out of the J curve, we would expect this movement to start being more material going forward.

Speaker #4: So as VCP4, SPS4, VICC—these three main funds in which the balance sheet of the company has a bigger exposure—are getting out of the J-curve, this should materialize in higher unrealized IRE.

Bruno Zaremba: As VCP IV, SPS IV, VICC, these three main funds in which the balance sheet of the company has a bigger exposure, are getting out of the J-curve. This should materialize in higher unrealized IRE.

Speaker #4: Obviously, this is the, let's say, the next stage that we're getting in, right? So we're getting into this phase where we're going to see the profitability and the increase in the share value of the funds.

Alessandro Horta: Obviously, this is the, let's say, the next stage that we're getting in, right? We're getting into this phase where we're gonna see the profitability and the increase in the share value of the funds in our net profit. The following phase, once these funds start to return capital, those proceeds are gonna become impactful to our distributed earnings number. This will probably take a little bit longer to happen. There might be given the better liquidity environment that we see in Brazil over the past few months. There might be an opportunity for us to start having a quicker monetization of these funds, but it will take a little bit longer.

Bruno Zaremba: Obviously, this is the, let's say, the next stage that we're getting in, right? We're getting into this phase where we're gonna see the profitability and the increase in the share value of the funds in our net profit. The following phase, once these funds start to return capital, those proceeds are gonna become impactful to our distributed earnings number. This will probably take a little bit longer to happen.

Speaker #4: In our net profit, and then the following phase, once these funds start to return capital, those proceeds are going to become impactful to our distributable earnings number.

Speaker #4: This would probably take a little bit longer to happen. There might be given the better liquidity environment that we see in Brazil over the past few months, there might be an opportunity for us to start having a quicker monetization of these funds.

Bruno Zaremba: There might be given the better liquidity environment that we see in Brazil over the past few months. There might be an opportunity for us to start having a quicker monetization of these funds, but it will take a little bit longer.

Speaker #4: But it will take a little bit longer. So the expectation for '26 is for us to start having the IRE on the unrealized part being more of a contributor to net profits.

Alessandro Horta: The expectation for 2026 is for us to start having the IRE on the unrealized part being more of a contributor to net profits. Hopefully this can be translated to distributable earnings as soon as the end of this year or next year. The expectations for this number to start being more material for the net profit line in 2026.

Bruno Zaremba: The expectation for 2026 is for us to start having the IRE on the unrealized part being more of a contributor to net profits. Hopefully this can be translated to distributable earnings as soon as the end of this year or next year. The expectations for this number to start being more material for the net profit line in 2026.

Speaker #4: And hopefully, this can be translated into distributable earnings as soon as the end of this year or next year. But the expectations for this number to start being more material for the net profit line in '26.

Speaker #5: That's clear. Thank you.

Operator: That's clear. Thank you. Our next question comes from Guilherme Paiva, from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

Ricardo Botelho: That's clear. Thank you.

Speaker #6: Our next question comes from Guilherme Bispo, from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

Operator: Our next question comes from Guilherme Paiva, from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Hello. Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Alessandro, Bruno. Anna, for hosting the call. My question is on the private credit side. It has been a big discussion globally, right?

Guilherme Paiva: Hello, good evening, everyone. Thank you, Alessandro, Bruno, Anna for hosting the call. My question is on the private credit side. It has been a big discussion globally, right? I think the thesis that we are hearing nowadays, I think is less applicable to Vinci's portfolio. I see the mood on the private credit, which has been important. I think credit as a strategy, I think added more than BRL 5 billion in fundraising in last 12 months. Just want to get your views on how is the sentiment on fundraising on this vertical. Just remind us a little bit the profile of the clients that you fundraise. If I recall correctly, I think on credit, the two main products is gonna be Compass, high yield and corporate debt.

Guilherme Paiva: Hello, good evening, everyone. Thank you, Alessandro, Bruno, Anna for hosting the call. My question is on the private credit side. It has been a big discussion globally, right? I think the thesis that we are hearing nowadays, I think is less applicable to Vinci's portfolio. I see the mood on the private credit, which has been important. I think credit as a strategy, I think added more than BRL 5 billion in fundraising in last 12 months. Just want to get your views on how is the sentiment on fundraising on this vertical.

Speaker #4: I think the thesis that we are hearing nowadays, I think, is less applicable to Vinci's portfolio. But I see the mood on the private credit, which has been an important credit as a strategy, I think, added more than $5 billion in fundraising in the last 12 months.

Speaker #4: Just want to get your views on how is the sentiment on fundraising on this vertical? And just remind us a little bit the profile of the client that you fundraise.

Guilherme Paiva: Just remind us a little bit the profile of the clients that you fundraise. If I recall correctly, I think on credit, the two main products is gonna be Compass, high yield and corporate debt.

Speaker #4: If I recall correctly, I think on credit, the two main products are going to be Compass High Yield and Corporate Debt. But just a refresh, on this vertical, what is the mood?

Guilherme Paiva: Just a refresh, on this vertical, what is the mood? Is it affecting the fundraising or not? If there's any impact to you. Thank you.

Guilherme Paiva: Just a refresh, on this vertical, what is the mood? Is it affecting the fundraising or not? If there's any impact to you. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Is it affecting the fundraising or not? And if there's any impact to you? Thank you.

Speaker #2: Okay. Thank you for the question, that's Alessandro. I would say that that's a very good question. If you're taking consideration what's happening in the global markets, in the alts business globally, we still believe reinforce that we are optimistic with the credit vertical.

Alessandro Horta: Okay. Thank you for the question. That's Alessandro Horta. I would say that that's a very good question. If you take in consideration what's happening in the global markets, in the Alts business globally. We still believe, reinforce that we are very optimistic with the credit vertical. Our credit business is today very diversified within different strategies, different type of funding. As you said, we have an important component that's more like corporate debt, that's different type of clients from institutional to high net worth, especially international money flowing in Latin America, corporate debt. This is really more liquid stuff, with less link to what's going on on the private credit side, especially the semi-liquid fund globally. Talking more about the countries.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: Okay. Thank you for the question. That's Alessandro Horta. I would say that that's a very good question. If you take in consideration what's happening in the global markets, in the Alts business globally. We still believe, reinforce that we are very optimistic with the credit vertical. Our credit business is today very diversified within different strategies, different type of funding.

Speaker #2: Our credit business is, today, very diversified within different strategies and different types of funding. But, as you said, we have an important component that's more like corporate debt.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: As you said, we have an important component that's more like corporate debt, that's different type of clients from institutional to high net worth, especially international money flowing in Latin America, corporate debt. This is really more liquid stuff, with less link to what's going on on the private credit side, especially the semi-liquid fund globally. Talking more about the countries.

Speaker #2: That's different types of clients, from institutional to high net worth, especially international money flowing into Latin America, and corporate debt. So this is really more liquid stuff, with less link to what's going on on the private credit side, especially the semi-liquid fund globally.

Speaker #2: Also, talking more about the countries, we do not have first exposure to the same sectors that are being questioned, like IT, tech, and etc., of course, Latin America is one good example in terms of the majority of the business as the hollow type of investment.

Alessandro Horta: We do not have first exposure to the same sector that are being questioned, like IT, tech, and etc. Of course, Latin America is one good example, let's say in terms of the majority of the business as the hollow type of investment. It's really assets and low obsolescence. Even our private credit business within Brazil or the other countries Latin America like Peru, Colombia, and so it's still much more plain vanilla stuff. The exposure to this asset class is still very small. We do not have, especially on this specific private credit funds, a lot of funding coming from retail or affluent business like the main semi-liquid fund is not the reality here. This is more institutional money, closed-end funds.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: We do not have first exposure to the same sector that are being questioned, like IT, tech, and etc. Of course, Latin America is one good example, let's say in terms of the majority of the business as the hollow type of investment. It's really assets and low obsolescence. Even our private credit business within Brazil or the other countries Latin America like Peru, Colombia, and so it's still much more plain vanilla stuff.

Speaker #2: So it's really assets and low obsolescence. So even our private credit business within Brazil or the other countries, like America, like Peru, Colombia, and so it's still much more plain vanilla stuff.

Alessandro Monteiro Morgado Horta: The exposure to this asset class is still very small. We do not have, especially on this specific private credit funds, a lot of funding coming from retail or affluent business like the main semi-liquid fund is not the reality here. This is more institutional money, closed-end funds.

Speaker #2: And the exposure to this asset class is still very small. We do not have, especially on this specific private credit funds, a lot of funding coming from retail or affluent business, like the main semi-liquid fund is not the reality here.

Speaker #2: This is more institutional money, closed-end funds. So really, the peril is very small. Where maybe we can see some effect is the fundraising of private credit globally in our TPD business.

Alessandro Horta: It's really not, the peril is really very small. Where maybe we can see some effect is the fundraising of private credit globally in our TPD business. Still, this is not the most relevant pipeline that we have moving forward, but is where, technically, we can see the investor a little bit more cautious in allocating private credit moving forward, globally in TPD. Not in our main business that's our own self-managed funds. That's in a strategy that not relates a lot with the main drivers of the worries regarding private credit internationally.
