JK Capital, an M&A boutique, has just acquired 027 Capital, another house specializing in mergers and acquisitions. With the transaction, JK expects to increase its revenues by approximately 20%, reaching new sectors and regions with the expertise of the new partner, Igor Batista.
Batista has 15 years of experience in the corporate finance area and has worked in the transaction area at Ernest Young both in Brazil and abroad, having worked on M&A projects in several sectors, such as health, education, consumer goods and technology. Together with the other six partners in the house, he joins a team of 40 professionals with extensive knowledge in the mergers and acquisitions market.
The process of consolidation of M&A boutiques in Brazil has intensified in recent years, driven by the growth of the Brazilian capital market and the search for more sophistication in corporate finance services. One of the main reasons for this movement is the need for boutiques to gain scale and increase their capacity to serve companies with increasingly complex financial services needs, in addition to having access to a greater number of resources, such as systems and technology tools.
For Saulo Sturaro, partner at JK Capital, “JK Capital has been preparing for this growth. In 2020, we brought in 2 directors with experience in M&A, management and auditing, with the aim of strengthening the team to ensure sustainable expansion. These directors became partners and the arrival of Igor intensifies this robust growth”. “We have closed 15 to 20 operations annually and our number of projects has grown rapidly in recent years”, concludes Sturaro. The diversification of financial services offered to clients is part of the advisory plan.
