Brick = Real Estate Property = Property + Cri)* = (A Real Estate Investment = Fixed-Income

*CRI = Certificate-of-the Receivable real Estate

The sentence above comes from a taunt that you want to do this to you, the investor. We believe that it is a way of being exposed to the real estate market in a safe and efficient manner, is to combine investments, real brick-and-paper/CRI (fixed income) – investment options with different, but complementary, as this is essential, especially in a country as unstable as the country of Brazil.

As a company that specializes in Real Estate, we tried to use all our know-how in the sector in order to identify a good business, finance, real estate, using a variety of structures and vehicles of investment. In this way, we close with the traditional “brick”, directly or via a real Estate Fund (Sief), both in Brazil and abroad (for instance, with a focus on NYC, and also the operations of the debt with real estate collateral (Irb).

This look is absolutely not common in the united states and Europe, but it is still very present in Brazil. Fortunately, many managers are skilled have been creating the best and new investment opportunities to the general public.

When you stop to think about it, that about 30% of the world's wealth is allocated to the real estate industry, we bring forth a reflection of you. How much of your portfolio is invested in this industry?

The investment made in the sector of real estate (the brick) and has four major benefits: (i) income, (ii) adding value (the appreciation of capital; (iii) to protect against inflation; and (iv) the diversification. Out of all of the benefits of investing in the real estate market is the income that is the most obvious one and the is representative. It is the result of the final between the income derived from the exploitation of the assets, less all costs incurred by it (for example, the management of the property, interest on loans and taxes.

In the following, we'll put up the win for the valuation of the assets. For a practical example, which depicts the point is to focus of your wallet in the segment of the slab business in São Paulo, which was launched at the time of a vacancy in the highest, and the asset traded at below replacement cost. The (expectation of) the economic recovery, the increasing demand for leased space on the regions of the “premium” in the capital, such as DURING the Faria Lima avenue and the broadway theater district, along with the short supply shall result in the assessment of the price of a property in the next few years, giving a gain to those who have invested in such assets, on the most favorable.

Of course, these two aspects of income and the high is significantly affected in times of crisis. Between 2014 and 2016, the years of the recession, the price of the rent, have been falling, and the vacancy rate has been increased, thus reducing the amount of income and, also, the value of the assets. It was a combination of high inventory space for lease and is in demand down – businesses have shut down, reduced in size and lost revenue.

Practical examples are the assets of the Thera-Corporate (THRA11), and the Building Would File FVBI11), which have seen their rents are falling to 40-50% during the crisis is having a negative impact on the value of the shares of the Sief. At the time, this move generated a good window of opportunity for the investor. Investors who purchased and/or the securing of these assets have a strong added value. Both the asset-trade today to its high historical and prospective earnings of the front.

The third major benefit of investing in real estate is to protect against inflation, because of the indexing of the value of the leases, at rates adjusted for inflation. So, during the term of the contract, the lease, when inflation rises, the income from the rent is fixed in nominal terms, while protecting the real return of an investor.

The last major benefit of a real estate investment portfolio is diversification. Historically, the performance of the real estate property that is not highly correlated with other types of investments, such as stocks and currencies. To add an asset to the real estate tends to result in a lower risk of the portfolio relative to the expected return.

Not only that, but there is also the possibility for the investor to be exposed indirectly to the real estate market via “the paper”. This is a less risky option than the “brick”; and, in spite of the differences in the structure and the risks it has to the real estate as collateral (collateral) – derived from the end. The Sief is “the paper”, for example, the most well-known for investing in the Certificates and other securities, as the LCIs, Presents, and ON, they have characteristics that are very similar to those of fixed income securities, such as treasury bills, however, with a little bit more of a risk.

All of them are fixed-income securities, with the establishment of fees at the time of issue, the timing of the payment of interest and amortization). What are the main risks of credit and pre-paid. This is a good strategy to increase the return from fixed income instruments as well as to diversify its portfolio, with exposure to fixed income securities with a similar return to the fund, multi-market, and lower risk.

In times of uncertainty, when there is a correction in the prices of the assets (read: stocks, Sief “the brick”, a currency exchange facility, etc.) the Sief “paper” to sail on the stability and the low-volatidade. Historically, they are trading close to book value, even in times of stress out of the market. It also is a great protection for you and your family on the “brick” is sobrevalorizadado, as in the years of 2012-2013.

In a nutshell, the investor has to look, and you have the correct reading of the market cycle. In an environment of economic growth, the Sief is the “brick” is a very good opportunity as the Sief “paper” to reduce the risk of the portfolio, but with a performance, hot rod”.

We are dreaming of the day when we will see the platforms and investment professionals in the industry to classify Funds as an investment the “brick” inside the asset class, “real ESTATE and real Estate Funds from the “paper” of the class of “FIXED INCOME”. It would be a big step for a correct orientation and is responsible for investor relations.

From 2022 to 2025, RBR supported Instituto Ambikira, which has almost 20 years of history and is dedicated to identifying, supporting, and empowering different initiatives that have the capacity and purpose to transform parts of the structural imbalances of our country.

There are three main pillars of action that align with RBR’s objectives regarding social investment: Education, Social Assistance, and Training & Management.

Since its foundation in 2003, the Institute has supported more than 200 organizations, benefiting over 700,000 people. We believe the Institute, through its professional and structured approach to the organizations it supports annually, provides valuable learnings not only in financial terms but also in intangible aspects such as efficiency, an important network of partners and relationships, among others.

In 2024 and 2025, RBR supported Todos Pela Educação, which is an advocacy organization that has been working since 2006 with civil society actors and government authorities to contribute to Education in Brazil.

Independent from government entities or political parties, the Todos Pela Educação community works strategically to foster debate on education issues in Brazil. Its efforts include producing public policy proposals, conducting studies, and monitoring such initiatives, while actively engaging with public authorities and key stakeholders — including community leaders, experts, students, and teachers.

The organization also launched the “Educação Já!” initiative, which seeks to bring together multiple entities around efforts related to the reform of secondary education and the development of early childhood policies.

RBR Asset has been a signatory of the 11% Commitment since 2024.

The 1% Commitment is an important initiative to increase corporate participation in reducing inequalities and addressing socio-environmental challenges in Brazil.

Companies of different sizes and sectors can participate, as long as they already carry out or commit to allocate 1% of their annual net income to civil society organizations, movements, or collectives that promote causes of public interest.

In 2024 and 2025, RBR supported Fundação Estudar, which was created in 1991 by entrepreneurs Jorge Paulo Lemman, Marcelo Telles, and Beto Sucupira, with the aim of granting scholarships to high-potential young people.

Since then, the Foundation has launched specific programs to support the educational journey and development of young people, such as the “Prep Estudar Fora” Program, created in 2011 to help Brazilian high school students gain access to undergraduate programs abroad by providing guidance and support throughout the university application process.

In addition to this program, the Foundation offers several other initiatives focused on the development of young people and leadership, building a vast community of leaders impacted by the Foundation.

Instituto Rizomas was founded in 2017, at Base Colaborativa, with the purpose of developing the socio-emotional skills of children and adolescents from the Portelinha community, in the Capão Redondo region.

Currently, the Institute provides after-school support so that students can continue learning Portuguese (including literacy), mathematics, and English, while also engaging in socio-emotional activities. In addition, the organization carries out weekend initiatives together with volunteers and the community.

From 2022 to 2025, RBR supported Colégio Mão Amiga, a Civil Society Organization (CSO) that stands out for being a philanthropic school (with the Certification of Charitable Social Assistance Entities – CEBAS/Education) that guarantees quality formal education to 660 low-income children and adolescents, from early childhood education to high school. The school is located in the Jardim Santa Júlia neighborhood, on the outskirts of the city of Itapecerica da Serra, 1 km from the border with the municipality of São Paulo.

It is a region of high social vulnerability, with limited job opportunities and a predominance of informal labor, drug trafficking, and violence. In addition to providing quality formal education and positively impacting the families of the children throughout their entire schooling (from elementary through high school), Colégio Mão Amiga also serves as a support center during after-school hours and on weekends, offering socio-emotional activities to the community.

RBR is one of the main supporters of Instituto Sol, a non-profit organization that identifies outstanding young students from the ninth grade of public schools and provides them with access and inclusion in a transformative educational journey, from high school through university and into their first year in the job market.

In a pioneering initiative, since December 2019, RBR has donated 1% of the management fee received from one of its funds RBR Properties, which currently has net assets of over BRL 1 billion, to the institute. As this fund has no maturity date and is not redeemable, the donation is perpetual,ensuring excellent predictability for the institute to invest in its mission.

This amount comes from the fee paid to the manager and has no impact on shareholders. In addition, in 2021, RBR allocated the equivalent of 0.5% of its net income to Instituto Sol.
