VGII11

What it is

VGII11’s legal name is Valora CRI Infra II FII de Resp. Ltda (CNPJ 52.649.680/0001-72), a closed-end real-estate investment fund listed on Brazil’s B3 stock exchange.

Instead of owning physical property, it holds infrastructure-linked real-estate receivables certificates (CRIs) — bonds that represent loans to infrastructure projects and that carry a federal tax exemption for individual investors under Brazilian law.

Valora’s infrastructure area specialises in originating, analysing and structuring project-finance solutions, financing projects across different locations in Brazil, sectors, and stages — both operational and pre-operational — through customised structures. The fund is a “paper fund” (fundo de papel): its return comes from the interest and inflation-indexation on those bonds, not from rent rolls.

Who owns it

VGII11 is a publicly held fund: any investor can buy units on B3. There is no controlling shareholder in the conventional sense — the units are dispersed among retail and institutional buyers.

The fund’s administrator is Banco Daycoval S.A., which holds the legal custody of assets and issues regulatory notices; the investment decisions are made separately by the portfolio manager, Valora Gestão de Investimentos.

Valora Investimentos is an independent asset manager with more than 18 years of history and R$ 12 billion (US$2.3 bn) in assets under management. Its real-estate sleeve manages approximately R$ 2 billion (US$389 mn) across five funds and has structured more than R$ 1 billion (US$194 mn) in real-estate receivables certificates.

Who runs it

Daniel Pegorini is the founding partner of Valora Gestão de Investimentos (founded 2005) and has served as CEO since then; he has been a CVM-licensed portfolio manager since 2007 and holds a degree in Business Administration from FGV’s EAESP. Valora is headquartered in São Paulo at Av.

Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek 1830, Itaim Bibi, and is credentialed by the CVM as an administrator of securities portfolios.

The fund itself has no employees of its own — this is standard for Brazilian FIIs, where the manager and administrator are always external firms paid an annual fee from fund assets. Individual fund-manager names for VGII11 specifically are not disclosed in available sources beyond the firm-level leadership above.

The money, in plain words

In 2025 the fund collected R$ 8.5 m (US$ 1.6 m) in income — interest and inflation adjustments from its bond portfolio — and kept R$ 8.3 m (US$ 1.6 m) of that as net income, a net margin of 98.7% (our calculation). That near-perfect pass-through is normal: a paper fund’s only real costs are management fees, since it owns no buildings to maintain.

Revenue roughly doubled year on year — up 132% from R$ 3.6 m (US$700 k) in 2024 to R$ 8.5 m (US$2 mn) in 2025 (our calculation) — suggesting new bonds were added to the portfolio or existing ones repriced higher as Brazil’s interest rates climbed. The fund carries virtually no debt: total liabilities of R$ 238 k (US$46 k) against total assets of R$ 37.9 m (US$7 mn) (both our calculations from EODHD balance data), giving a return on its owners’ equity of about 22% (our calculation) — strong on paper, but the fund is very small.

What it is doing now

In April 2026, administrator Banco Daycoval announced that VGII11 would not distribute income for that month, citing the absence of net results apurated in the period. The fund’s rules allow the semi-annual profit distribution to be anticipated monthly at the administrator’s discretion, but no such advance was made — a flag worth watching.

Over the prior twelve months, the fund had distributed R$ 3.70 (US$0.72)per unit, a trailing yield of about 5%.

What to watch

• Distribution resumption. Whether income payments restart after April 2026’s zero payout is the clearest near-term signal of the fund’s health.
• Size risk. At R$ 37.7 m (US$ 7.3 m) in market value, VGII11 is tiny; thin daily trading means that buying or selling even a modest position can move the unit price materially.
• Brazil’s interest-rate cycle. The fund’s bonds are linked to inflation and interest rates; a Selic rate cut compresses new-bond yields, while high rates (Brazil’s Selic was above 13% in 2025) boost income — so rate direction is the single biggest driver of returns.
• Portfolio concentration. The infrastructure CRI niche is narrower than a general real-estate bond fund; investors should watch whether new bonds are being issued to replace maturing ones.
