Andbank announces the integration of Capita Partners to strengthen and lead its capital markets division
With over 20 years of individual experience in financial markets, Rodolfo Tavares Filho and Leonardo Molina Contrucci join the bank to further enhance Andbank's structure
São Paulo, February 2024 – Andbank, a globally renowned private banking boutique with over 93 years of history and managing over R$250 billion, announces the integration of Capita Partners. The initiative is part of the bank's strategy to strengthen its capital markets team, offering a broader range of products and services to its clients.
Under new leadership in Brazil, led by CEO Rodolfo Pousa and Vice President Matheus Wolf, the bank has enhanced its service platform and areas of operation. "Today, we have a 360º platform, where clients are able to find a complete range of products in an open and digital platform, asset management with exclusive funds, along with an international team present in various jurisdictions dedicated to offshore services for Brazilian clients worldwide. Other highlights include our trading and proprietary desk, led by senior executives with extensive experience in private banking and corporate solutions, combined with a wealth planning team with extensive knowledge of wealthy families’ needs. The capital markets division, now led by Rodolfo Tavares Filho and Leonardo Molina Contrucci, will reinforce our team, making it more robust and complete," says Pousa.
With the alliance, the entire operation of Capita Partners will migrate to Andbank without any changes to current clients, who will experience a seamless transition and will now have access to services under the newly introduced Andbank IB division in Brazil. Strategic advisory activities in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets will be led by executives Rodolfo Tavares Filho and Leonardo Molina Contrucci. Both have individually built careers of over 20 years in financial markets.
Having worked in international banks such as JPMorgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche and ING, prior to founding Capita Partners, Rodolfo was responsible for the M&A department at Itaú Unibanco, and Leonardo was an investment manager at Votorantim S.A. Both have a combined volume of over R$100 billion in capital markets and mergers and acquisitions transactions, including debt issuance, equity and private capital raising.
"The combination of Andbank IB’s capabilities and structures under the leadership of a team with solid experience forms a unique solution for our clients, who now have access to strategic advisory in capital markets, thus strengthening Andbank's reach in Brazil as another step to reinforce its position in the country," commented Rodolfo Pousa, CEO of Andbank.
