Oceana Investimentos emphasizes that price discipline trumps political narratives in driving long-term investment returns. The firm's investment process combines qualitative business assessment with rigorous valuation discipline, monitoring implied real IRR as a key metric for prospective returns. Following extreme pessimism in Brazilian markets at end of 2024, the portfolio's implied real IRR exceeded 15% annually, providing substantial margin of safety. Through 2025, Brazilian equities corrected 34% as price distortions normalized, with the fund delivering positive returns. The portfolio's current implied real IRR of 11.6% remains adequate for compounding capital, though less compelling than previous levels. Ahead of 2026 elections, the firm maintains that entry price provides better protection against adverse scenarios than attempting to predict political outcomes. They argue that Brazil changes less than headlines suggest, with cycles being temporary while well-run companies endure. The strategy focuses on quality assets with margin of safety, leveraging time horizon to capture asymmetry when prices diverge from fundamental value during periods of market stress.
Price discipline and margin of safety are more important than political narratives in generating long-term returns, particularly during periods of electoral uncertainty when market sentiment creates valuation opportunities in quality Brazilian assets.
The firm maintains an adequate level of expected returns to compound investor capital over time with portfolio implied real IRR at 11.6% annually. They emphasize continued focus on price discipline and margin of safety amid electoral uncertainty, viewing current valuations as less compelling than end of 2024 but still offering reasonable asymmetry for long-term investors.

Despite the S&P 500 trading 20% above historical averages, research shows no correlation between high valuations and near-term returns. Systematic rebalancing provides better risk management than attempting to time market peaks. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| EQTL3.SA | Equatorial in early 2025, when shares traded at a real IRR above 14%. At those levels, the valuation did not reflect any meaningful growth from the concessions the company operated, nor the potential for value creation through future capital allocation. The asymmetry was driven by the fact that the implied return was already elevated. |
| RENT3.SA | Localiza traded below 8x earnings. At those levels, the valuation implied highly conservative growth assumptions and no profitability recovery in the used car division. In other words, the investment case did not rely on a perfectly benign cycle. It was sufficient for conditions to be less adverse than what was implied in the price for attractive returns to materialize. |
