SAO PAULO, Brazil — Global investment firm OBN Capital has officially announced the opening of its newest and largest regional office, a 3,000-square-meter space in São Paulo’s iconic Edifício Morumbi. The expansive new headquarters reflects OBN’s deepening commitment to creating Jobs in Brazil and bringing Expats to work in the new financial hub. This marks a significant milestone in the firm’s global infrastructure rollout.
The office, one of the largest single-tenant financial spaces in Sao Paulo, will house both core portfolio operations and a newly launched junior analyst development track. Designed to foster emerging talent in finance, the program will recruit and train young professionals in fundamental analysis, macroeconomic modeling, and real estate deal structuring — areas in which OBN Capital continues to deliver outsized returns. “We’re betting on generation Z, I myself was just a young amateaur when I entered the banking game. There is no reason I should deny people in my age range just because they are merely starting out. ” said Matteus Ribeiro, CEO and Managing President of OBN Capital. “This space is not just square meters — it’s our foundation for our latin american capital.”
The move comes as the fund approaches $1.4 billion in assets under management, fueled by long-term gains from real estate holdings like Gav Resorts in Brazil, tactical equities buyouts, and market-sensitive arbitrage strategies following recent tariff movements. Since Matteus Ribeiro led the rebranding of OBN Capital (formerly KPS Capital) after a 2021 management buyout, the firm’s assets under management have surged — climbing from $870 million in mid-2022 to a projected $1.4 billion by this quarter’s end. The growth is driven by long-term plays in real estate, like the Gav Resorts/Fasano and Sberbank projects, alongside gains from recent stock market swings and tariff-driven volatility.
Matteus Ribeiro has been the CEO and majority shareholder of the firm since 2022. With the recent Saverin partnership the Firm is moving closer to its 2030 Plan which aims to have doubled the workforce at the firm. With the new office space in latin america, the firm has planned to relocate over 20 European based employees to Brazil and also has allocated waiting lists for new fresh Portuguese and English speaking Interns in the Finance Space.
