The Hurst Capital, the largest alternative assets platform in Latin America, aims to expand the number of international partnerships and reach twenty different operations in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East by the end of the year. Founded in 2017, the company currently has over 110,000 investors in more than ten countries, and has originated over R$ 1 billion in investment opportunities with an average profitability of around 20% per year.
“Today we have three important operations in progress, but we are already in negotiations to enter into others. By the end of the year, we want to have more than twenty operations running. And, in five years, we aim to be present in the main international markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East,” says Arthur Farache, CEO of Hurst Capital.
Currently, there are already three major operations with U.S. assets in real estate, stock options, among others. One of them is the Neural Growth / OurCrowd AI Fund involving the big tech NVIDIA, one of the largest technology companies in the world. Hurst participates in fundraising together with the venture capital platform OurCrowd managing over US$ 2.3 billion and investing in over 440 companies and 56 funds across five continents. OurCrowd has a collaboration with the NVIDIA Inception program to provide technical support and access to advanced resources for artificial intelligence startups. With a 100-month term, the expected return is 23.81% per year in dollars.
Another operation is in partnership with Realty Mogul, a reference in real estate crowdfunding in the United States. With a 15-month duration and a dollar return of over 13% per year, Brazilian investors can participate in the indirect acquisition of Woodford Ridge, a class A complex with 93 rental homes in Bonaire, Georgia.
Also underway is the Stock Options receivables certificate operation – Techs USA, in exclusive partnership with the Cedar Tree fund, which offers access to a portfolio of approximately 120 leading private technology companies (and unicorns) in the USA. The fund finances the exercise of stock options by former employees, with average discounts of 72.1%. With a term of 52 months, the expected return is 20% per year in dollars. In all three cases, the minimum investment is R$ 10,000.
“We were pioneers in Brazil in originating, offering opportunities, and making investments in real assets accessible for portfolio diversification. Therefore, investors trust our platform, which has become a benchmark and gained the confidence of foreign partners like those from the United States, a country where oversight and penalties for rule violations are much more severe. In other words, we meet the high standards of that market,” says Farache.
