History

BTG Pactual began in 1983 in Rio de Janeiro as the brokerage firm Pactual DTVM,[12] when its initial and primary activity was proprietary trading and securities sales and trading. In 1986, the asset management and investment bank areas were created. In 1989, the bank opened its São Paulo's office and started the internationalization of operations. Eleven years after the foundation, the bank started the wealth management activities.

In 1998, the company replaced its executive officers with a team led by André Esteves, Eduardo Plass, Marcelo Serfaty and Gilberto Sayão, and acquired Banco Bamerindus.[13] In 2000, the bank opened Pactual Asset Management S.A. DTVM and an office in Cayman Islands.[14] In 2003, the expansion continued with offices in Belo Horizonte and Recife.

In 2006, the UBS bought Banco Pactual for US$2.5 billion[15] [16] and created UBS Pactual, André Esteves became CEO of all UBS' Latin American operations. Two years later, Esteves left the bank to found BTG Investments with nine other founding partners of UBS and UBS Pactual, including Pérsio Arida, a former president of the Brazilian Central Bank. In 2009, BTG bought out UBS shareholders and created Banco BTG Pactual.[17] The following year the bank issued US$1.8bn in capital, representing 18.65%, to a group of international investors and partners. In 2011, they acquired 51.00% of Banco PanAmericano shares. In 2012, BTG Pactual bought brokerages in Chile and Colombia, Celfin Capital and Bolsa y Renta, and held an initial public offering (IPO) raising R$3.65 billion, making it one of the 20 biggest companies listed on the B3.[18]

In 2013, the bank, through its subsidiary BTG Pactual Timberland Investments Group LLC, acquired forest asset management contracts from Regions Timberland Group, a division of Regions Bank, the acquisition expanding its investment in forest assets. The deal established BTG Pactual as the biggest independent forest asset manager in Latin America and one of the biggest in the world, with assets of US$3bn and a portfolio of 716,000 hectares of land in North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa. In 2014, it made two acquisitions in Europe: British reinsurer Ariel Re[19] bought for an undisclosed amount, and also Swiss bank BSI,[20] for US$1.7 billion.[21]

In 2017, BTG Pactual bought shares of companies such Anheuser-Busch InBev, Fibria Celulose, Gerdau, Staples and Telefónica Brasil.[22]

Controversies

Insider trading

This case was closed and there was no impact to the public offering. In 2012, penalties for André Esteves' insider trading "force[d] the bank to amend its prospectus, give investors the option to reconsidering bids for BTG shares, and put a cloud over one of this year's highest-profile bank deals."[72] In "a statement, BTG Pactual said Esteves believed the allegations had no merit and was determined to appeal the decision."[73] However, Esteves did not appeal, citing cost and a loss of time as his reasons.[74]

Pactual sale to UBS and resale to BTG

Arthur Rutishauser argued that the way 27% of BTG was acquired is an example of an insider case: André Esteves sold the bank in 2006 for 3 billion SFr to UBS, where Huw Jenkins was a key decision maker.[75] Esteves later repurchased Pactual back in 2009 for 2.5 billion SFr after being allowed to leave UBS to set up BTG.[75] Jenkins was ejected from UBS in 2007 and disappeared then resurfaced as a senior partner and board member at BTG Pactual in 2010.[76]

BTG Pactual purchase of BSI

In July 2014, BTG Pactual purchased Banca della Svizzera Italiana (BSI), with this being subject to the approval by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The CEO of FINMA, Mark Branson, was previously the CEO of UBS Securities Japan Ltd.[77] and reported directly to Huw Jenkins, CEO of UBS Investment Bank who is now a partner of BTG Pactual.[78] [79] Under Mark Branson, FINMA decided whether to approve BTG Pactual's purchase of BSI, although BTG Pactual was owned and operated by former superiors and colleagues Jenkins and Esteves, it clearly does not implicate any illegal activity whatsoever.[79]

Misrepresentation allegation

The case was closed, a final settlement has been reached. An ex-employee of Hong Kong subsidiary BTG Pactual Asia Ltd, Zeljko Ivic, filed a claim alleging Banco BTG Pactual board member Huw Jenkins made fraudulent misrepresentations to Zeljko Ivic to induce him to sign agreements with the bank.[80] [81] Ivic said he had played a key role in Banco BTG Pactual's initial public offering (IPO) for which Jenkins had promised him a partnership and shares.[82] [83] Ivic, who valued his claim at some US$20 million, started proceedings after being dismissed in October 2013.[84] [85] In March 2017, the parties involved reached a final settlement.

As a result, he faced calls to step down in 2012 after UBS reached a SFr1.4bn settlement with a number of regulators, including Finma, over allegations that it had manipulated interbank rates on an “epic” scale..

Presque un an plus tard, le rachat doit toujours être validé par la Finma. Si le délai peut sembler long, c’est que le feu vert de l’autorité de surveillance des marchés financiers est lié, en partie, au dossier fiscal américain. Or, BSI a conclu un accord à 211 millions de dollars avec la justice américaine (DoJ) fin mars. Ce qui devrait lui permettre, espère-t-elle dans son rapport annuel publié dans la foulée, d’entériner la transaction rapidement. «La clôture du dossier américain était l’une des préconditions au rachat de BTG», souligne ainsi une source proche du dossier..

  81. Web site: BTG Billionaire Esteves Sued in Hong Kong by Ex-Employee - Bloomberg. Wong. Douglas. 15 May 2014. Bloomberg News. 10 January 2015. Andre Esteves, the billionaire founder of Brazil’s BTG Pactual, was sued by a former employee in Hong Kong who claims he was promised a partnership and stock for securing investors before the bank’s initial share sale. Zeljko Ivic alleged that Banco BTG Pactual SA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Esteves and Huw Jenkins, a managing partner, made fraudulent misrepresentations to get him to sign agreements with the investment bank, according to a lawsuit filed with the Hong Kong High Court. BTG Pactual raised as much as 3.66 billion reais ($1.66 billion) in its 2012 initial public offering. The sale followed a 2010 agreement to sell a stake to a group including China Investment Corp., GIC Pte. and the Rothschild and Agnelli families. Esteves, 45, is worth $4.2 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, mostly due to his 22 percent stake in BTG Pactual. Jenkins and Hong Kong-based BTG Pactual Asia Ltd., have also been sued and will vigorously defend the claims, “which they believe to be baseless and without merit,” according to their lawyer Randall Arthur. BTG Pactual doesn’t comment on matters under litigation, the Sao Paulo-based bank said. Shares of the company fell 0.7% to 32.22 reais at 10:41 a.m. in Sao Paulo. Ivic sought more than $20 million in damages for the value of the shares and partnership promised, as well as unpaid bonuses, his lawyer Robert Tibbo said..
