Powering Value with Perfin
About
Perfin Infra was established in 2016 when we identified opportunities to engage in projects with the potential to contribute to the development of Brazilian infrastructure. With a specialized team in the infrastructure sector, we have developed several projects and platforms in some distinct verticals through investment funds, such as energy, highways, sanitation, and climate solutions, totaling more than BRL 12 billion and continuing to search for good opportunities. We add value to our stakeholders through an entrepreneurial vision and financial dynamism. We also have been successful in building solid relationships with strategic partners and have been investing alongside with them, always grounded in aligned principles, providing support and involvement in all decisions regarding our projects. Transmission: + 4,950 Km Highways: + 2,300 Km Total Distributed Generation: + 300 MWp Centralized Generation: + 2,8 GW Sanitation: 333 municipalities and 6.4 million people served

Flagships
Flagship funds are diversified investment vehicles that focus on areas where Perfin Infra is active, composing a portfolio that typically comprises multiple assets and/or sectors. The first fund, named Perfin Mercury, was established in 2020 and made commitments with investments until 2023. This family of funds started investing in Power Generation, Power Transmission, Sanitation, and Highways. In 2024, we structured Perfin Infra II to continue tapping opportunities in the infrastructure market in a structured and diversified manner, focusing on segments where the asset manager already operates and others where it is developing a niche to operate. These opportunities are captured through auctions, M&As, projects, and/or the creation of platforms.

Transmission
The creation of the first transmission funds marks the beginning of Perfin’s involvement in the infrastructure sector and partnership with Alupar S.A. Since 2016, we have participated in all auctions together. The first funds were created with the clear objective of investing in energy, primarily in the transmission sector so investors could have more clarity on what they were investing. To ensure security in the execution, we adopted a partnership format with a strategic partner focused on operations, while we provide governance and financial management. The transmission funds are named Apollo and are funds that hold stakes in energy transmission concessions.

Generation
The initial investments made were in wind and solar energy through partnerships with Casa dos Ventos and Mori Energia, respectively. In 2021, the funds underwent a reorganization, and their assets were incorporated into Comerc, a company that focused on energy trading and solutions. In 2022, through a private deal, Vibra Energia (formerly BR Distribuidora) gained joint control of Comerc with Perfin’s funds and the company’s founding shareholders. The fund assets that were integrated into Comerc are: Perfin Ares I, Perfin Ares 2, Perfin Mercury, and Perfin Comercury.

Sanitation
Perfin’s first investment in Sanitation was in CORSAN – Companhia Riograndense de Saneamento in December 2022, in partnership with AEGEA, which at the time was the largest private player in Brazil’s sanitation sector. Soon after, the funds also won the Sanepar PPP, and today the investment team is analyzing other opportunities in the sector. The funds that invested in the sanitation sector were: Perfin Discovery, Perfin Mariner, and Mariner II.

Highways
In August 2022, Perfin took its first step into the Highway sector when it won Lot 1, Triângulo Mineiro, in the Minas Gerais highway auctions, through the Perfin Voyager fund. It was then that EPR was born, a new investment platform in the sector led by experienced executives and in a partnership between Perfin Voyager and Equipav – a group with an excellent track record in the sector. Since then, EPR now has four concessions totaling more than 2,000 km in the states of Minas Gerais and Paraná.
