Our compliance, code of ethics & policies. We have developed a code of ethics and rules of conduct that reflects our mindset on how business should be done and how people should behave to preserve and protect our values and reputation. We have developed a robust set of policies to govern our daily activities, especially with regards to protecting the interests of our investors, including but not limited to: anti-money laundering, confidentiality, documentation retention, conflicts of interest, employee trading, gifts and entertainment.

Our Information Technology. We have state-of-the-art infrastructure technology aligned with best practices. We work to achieve high performance and availability having all critical assets configured to be fault-tolerant to sustain operations in the event of a major failure. We keep appropriate backups through a disk-based and cloud-based approach with data duplication. We have a comprehensive and highly available disaster recovery (“ DR”), strategy and solution with multiple layers of redundancy: our file and application servers are replicated in real time to the DR site, our maximum data loss in the event of a disaster is 15 minutes, and we perform disaster recovery tests annually. Finally, we are evolving towards browser-based applications, delivered through software as a service as they are easier to maintain, improve and roll out and are the right fit for most of our business activities, giving us the agility we need with known and recognized security structures.

We classify our security working effort in four categories: (1) monitoring - maintaining a diligent monitoring process aiming to identify potential threats in both internal and external environments; (2) protecting - implementing leading protection technologies ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability; (3) responding - providing quick response, blocking and isolating the source of malicious behavior or content; and (4) educating - creating a security-aware culture through unique and innovative training exercises, constructing employee’s engagement.

Competition

We compete with a number of strategic buyers, wealthy individuals, private equity funds and other financial services companies such as hedge funds that seek acquisition opportunities in Brazil, Chile and other Latin American countries. The strategic buyers we expect to compete with will vary based on the industry in which the potential acquisition target operates. The asset management industry is intensely competitive, and we expect it to remain so. We compete both globally and on a regional, industry and sector basis. In particular, within our asset management business, we primarily compete in the market for investment products in private equity
