SAO PAULO, Brazil — OBN Capital, under the leadership of CEO & President Matteus Ribeiro and Board Director E Saverin, is on track to exceed US $1.4 billion in assets under management (AUM) by the close of this quarter, cementing its ascent as a global Equity firm with a growing real estate and technology footprint.
Driving Growth Through Real Estate, Market Momentum, and Global Diversification
Since Ribeiro led the rebranding of the firm (formerly KPS Capital) after a management buyout in 2021, OBN Capital has more than doubled its AUM, rising from approximately $800 million in mid‑2022 to its current trajectory toward $1.4 billion . Key drivers include long‑term real estate investments such as the investment into Brazilian Resort and construction company Gav Resorts project and other hospitality assets including the Fasano Group, which have delivered excellent growth. In addition, the fund has leveraged favorable market conditions and recent tariff‑driven market volatility to generate Solid returns for long term clients of the fund.
Strategic Partnership with other Firms and Banks across Eurasia.
A major catalyst in this trajectory has been the funding partnership closed between Matteus Ribeiro and Eduardo Saverin– Saverin has joined OBN Capital in a key governance role. The partnership has enabled accelerated capital injections and repositioned the firm to move into luxury real estate and emerging tech, a shift widely attributed to Saverin’s influence and strategic capital deployment.
While Saverin is mentioned only sparingly, his role alongside Ribeiro is central to the firm’s expansion into other industries. Together, they have restructured the next 5 year plan for the firm moving away from Securities in the markets and Government bonds/Contracting.
São Paulo Expansion: Sixth Office Opens in Prime Location
Reflecting OBN Capital’s commitment to Headquartering in Brazil, the firm is inaugurating its sixth office, located in the prestigious Edifício Morumbi tower in São Paulo, Brazil. Positioned among Brazil’s architectural landmarks, the new office underlines OBN Capital’s growing footprint in Brazil’s largest financial market and signals a deepening engagement with local luxury real estate ventures.
OBN Digital, the media and communications arm of OBN Capital, will occupy an entire floor in the newly announced Morumbi office, establishing its first and only physical headquarters outside of the middle east following the closure of its Tel Aviv branch earlier this year. This strategic consolidation and relocation reflects OBN’s commitment to integrating its digital marketing, investor communications, and content production capabilities within its core operational infrastructure in Latin America.
The São Paulo space will serve as a central hub for OBN Digital’s global output, housing its editorial, multimedia, and branding teams under one roof. From high-end visual content on OBN’s real estate holdings to investor reports and financial market analysis, the in-house team will be positioned to produce premium media assets aligned with the fund’s evolving narrative.
