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 now has over 110,000 investors across more than ten countries and has originated over R$ 1 billion in investment opportunities with an average annual return of around 20%.
“Today we have three major operations underway, but we are already in negotiations to enter others. By the end of the year, we want to have over twenty operations running. And within five years, we aim to be present in major international markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East,” says Arthur Farache, CEO of Hurst Capital.
Currently, there are three major operations involving U.S. assets in real estate, stock options, and other sectors. One of them is the Neural Growth / OurCrowd AI Fund, which involves the big tech company NVIDIA, one of the world’s largest technology firms. Hurst participates in fundraising alongside the venture capital platform OurCrowd, which manages over $2.3 billion and has invested in more than 440 companies and 56 funds across five continents. OurCrowd collaborates with the NVIDIA Inception program to provide technical support and access to advanced resources for AI startups. With a 100-month term, the expected return is 23.81% per year in USD.
Another operation is in partnership with Realty Mogul, a leader in U.S. real estate crowdfunding. With a 15-month duration and an annual USD return of over 13%, Brazilian investors can indirectly participate in acquiring Woodford Ridge, a Class A complex with 93 rental homes in Bonaire, Georgia.
Also underway is the Stock Options Receivables Certificate operation – Techs USA, in an exclusive partnership with the Cedar Tree fund, which provides access to a portfolio of approximately 120 leading private (and unicorn) tech companies in the U.S. The fund finances the exercise of stock options for former employees, with average discounts of 72.1%. With a 52-month term, the expected return is 20% per year in USD. In all three cases, the minimum investment is R$ 10,000.
“We were pioneers in Brazil in originating, offering opportunities, and making real asset investments accessible for portfolio diversification. That’s why investors trust our platform, which has become a benchmark and gained the confidence of foreign partners like those in the U.S., where oversight and penalties for non-compliance are much stricter. In other words, we meet the high standards of that market,” says Farache.
