Overview
Nebraska Capital is a Porto Alegre multi-family office that grew out of the Fração family's liquidity event, the 2007 sale of Expresso Mercúrio; it was set up in 2008 to manage that family's capital and opened to other families from 2009. It ran a value-style equity fund (Nebraska Capital FIA, 2011) but closed its direct stock-picking area in 2023 to focus fully on wealth management and multi-family-office services. It describes an endowment-inspired strategic allocation model and states BRL 6.6 billion under management. It is registered with the CVM as a portfolio manager (Nebraska Capital Gestão de Recursos Ltda).
Investment thesis
Value-investing philosophy (Graham, Buffett) combined with a strategic allocation model inspired by US endowments, with a generational mandate to preserve family wealth and protect purchasing power; the team invests its own capital alongside clients.
