Vinci Partners Investments Ltd (NASDAQ:VINP) reported strong fundraising results with 1.1 billion reais in capital subscriptions during the first quarter of 2025, marking their most active first quarter in recent years.
The company successfully completed the second closing of its long-term private credit fund in Peru, raising over 600 million reais from institutional investors.
Fee-related earnings increased by 22% year over year, reaching 65.7 million reais in the first quarter.
Vinci Partners Investments Ltd (NASDAQ:VINP) maintained its position as the leading partner to Chilean pension funds, holding a close to 20% market share.
The company is well-positioned to capture potential capital inflows into Latin America, which is seen as a stable region amid global geopolitical shifts.
The appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar negatively impacted Vinci Partners Investments Ltd (NASDAQ:VINP)'s reported AUM, leading to a 7% decrease quarter over quarter.
There were net outflows in the global IPNS segment, primarily due to capital returns and net flows in other substrategies.
The company experienced a markdown in accrued performance, mainly due to currency fluctuations affecting offshore funds.
There was a trend of redemptions across Vinci Partners Investments Ltd (NASDAQ:VINP)'s equity funds, although foreign investors began returning as net buyers.
The macroeconomic uncertainty subdued activity in the corporate advisory segment, resulting in no material revenue from this area during the quarter.
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with VINP.
Q: Can you provide some insight into the expected growth range for fee-related costs over the next four years, considering the goal to improve the FRE margin to around 40%? Also, what was the impact of the Brazilian real appreciation on your FRE? A: Bruno Ariamba, President of Finance and Operations, explained that the business model's strong leverage allows for managing more AUM without significantly increasing costs. He expects FRE costs to remain disciplined, with only inflationary impacts anticipated. Regarding the real appreciation, the impact on FRE was not significant, with a 2 million positive impact on distributable earnings. A 10% depreciation in AUM would have a minimal effect on FRE revenue.
Q: Could you clarify the drivers behind the 24 billion decline in the IPNS segment, particularly the 14 billion related to liquid TPD? Also, why was there a markdown in accrued performance, especially in private equity? A: Bruno Ariamba noted that the decline in accrued performance was mainly due to currency fluctuations, not asset performance. The markdown was due to exchange rate changes from the fourth quarter, and if rates stabilize, accrued performance should recover. Alessandro Arte, CEO, added that the net outflow in liquid TPD was around 7 billion reais, influenced by forex variations and market volatility, not specific asset classes or managers.
Q: Is there a heavy agenda of capital returns in TPD alternatives this year, and how does it impact your revenue? A: Bruno Ariamba clarified that capital returns in TPD alternatives do not impact future revenue significantly, as fees are charged upfront during fundraising. The impact is more on semi-liquid businesses, but most TPD business is closed-end, so recurring fees are mainly affected by TPD liquid redemptions.
Q: What are the expectations for the macro-political environment in Latin America, and how might it affect your business? A: Alessandro Arte expressed optimism about a more benign macro-political environment in the second half of the year, which could benefit their business. The company is prepared for AUM inflows and expects to capitalize on favorable conditions in various countries.
Q: How often do you mark your funds, and when should we expect to see changes in accrued performance? A: Bruno Ariamba stated that local funds are marked once a year, while offshore funds are marked quarterly. Therefore, changes in accrued performance should be visible in the second quarter.

If you invested in Lineage, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 30, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of investors who purchased stock pursuant and/or traceable to Lineage's registration statement for its initial public offering held on or about July 25, 2024. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and is captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v.

Through its Global Warehousing Segment, Lineage owns and operates hundreds of temperature-controlled storage facilities used by companies to store food and other perishable products. As alleged, Lineage's IPO documents touted its 'consistent cold chain demand,' which purportedly provided Lineage 'with strong cash flows even during periods of broader economic stress.' The IPO documents also represented that the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had 'accelerated trends that . . . have the potential to be growth engines for the industry in coming years.' In truth, Lineage was allegedly in the midst of a sustained downturn, as its customers destocked excess inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and also shifted to leaner inventories on a go-forward basis and as more cold-storage supply came on line. Events Following the IPO On February 26, 2025, Lineage announced its fiscal Q4 2024 financial results, revealing that customers had been 'unwinding' previously 'overbuil[t]' levels of inventory, returning to a 'more normal seasonal pattern' that was expected to 'continue moving forward.' Lineage conducted its IPO at $78 per share. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen dramatically, to lows near $40 per share—approximately half the IPO price.

RXST LOSS ALERT: RxSight, Inc. Investors with Losses are Reminded of the September 22 Class Action Deadline – Contact BFA Law (NASDAQ:RXST)
NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against RxSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXST) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in RxSight, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased RxSight securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Makaveev v. RxSight, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv- 01596. Why Was RxSight Sued for Securities Fraud? RxSight is engaged in the manufacture and sale of light adjustable intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery along with capital equipment used with the lenses. The Company's main product is its Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) that can be customized after cataract surgery through a series of non-invasive light treatments. These treatments, using a Light Delivery Device (LDD), adjust the lens's shape and power to optimize vision based on the patient's individual needs and preferences. During the relevant period, the Company touted its strong LAL and LDD sales and failed to disclose 'adoption challenges' in its products. In reality, RxSight was experiencing a slowdown in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On April 3, 2025, before the market opened, RxSight cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast citing a 'softening' of the market that purportedly occurred 'in the second half of 2024.' On this news, the price of RxSight stock declined roughly 38%, from $26.12 per share on April 2, 2025, to $16.21 per share on April 3, 2025. Then on July 8, 2025, the Company further cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast. RxSight attributed the adjustment to 'the slower ramp in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024' and '[a]doption challenges over the last few quarters.' On this news, the price of RxSight stock declined roughly 38%, from $12.79 per share on July 8, 2025, to $7.95 per share on July 9, 2025. Click here for more information: What Can You Do?

After Gaining $394 Billion in Market Cap in 3 Days, Is Apple Stock on Its Way to Joining Nvidia and Microsoft in the $4 Trillion Club?
Key Points Apple's U.S. manufacturing investment could lower its tariff expense. The company's results are improving, but growth is still sluggish. Apple needs to justify its lofty valuation with AI-related product upgrades that are well-received by its diverse user base. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › After closing at $202.69 per share on Aug. 5, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock soared a staggering 13% in just three days to finish Aug. 8 at $229.09 per share. The move pole-vaulted the tech giant's market cap to $3.404 trillion -- a whopping $394 billion gain. That's like creating a company the size of Home Depot out of thin air. After languishing for most of the year, let's determine if Apple has what it takes to join Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) in the $4 trillion market cap club, and if the growth stock is a buy now. Apple's massive news Apple's sudden pop came in response to its $100 billion manufacturing program. Announced last week, the program will create American jobs and onshore some of Apple's complex supply chain. Due to Apple CEO Tim Cook's visit to the White House and Apple's manufacturing commitment, President Trump said that Apple would be 100% exempt from a specific tariff on imported semiconductors. The potential for Apple to reduce its costly tariff expense, and maybe even get government support for its onshoring efforts, is undoubtedly a boon for the company's near-term prospects. Apple isn't the only mega-cap company that is trying to work with the current administration on tariffs. On Monday, reports indicated that Nvidia made a deal with President Trump, allowing the chipmaker to resume exporting its H20 chips in exchange for giving the U.S. government 15% of its revenue from China. The H20 is a scaled-down version of Nvidia's most advanced chips, which are custom-built for Chinese markets to comply with trade restrictions. The current administration intends to retain certain tariffs, but it also appears willing to negotiate deals with big businesses. Apple's manufacturing news is positive, based on the near-term impact of tariffs. The investment could help Apple reduce its sensitivity to trade tensions and geopolitical risk. However, it's unclear how it impacts Apple's long-term investment thesis. Apple has mastered the art of managing a global supply chain to achieve cost advantages and boost its profit margins. Onshoring some of its supply chain could lead to higher costs. However, Apple has yet to make a meaningful splash in artificial intelligence (AI) -- which is one of the main reasons why the tech giant has been lagging behind the performance of other, more defined AI winners like Nvidia and Microsoft. In Apple's defense, the company has built on Apple Intelligence and released a new design update called Liquid Glass. Overall, the market is not impressed with the company's AI efforts, considering how sluggish Apple's growth has been in recent years. Apple's earnings growth doesn't justify its lofty valuation Apple has heavily relied on its high-margin services segment and stock buybacks to drive earnings to offset weak results from its product segment. Apple's services, which include iCloud, Apple Music, and Apple TV+, have been the standout for years now. But Apple's bottom line depends more on key products, like iPhone, Mac, iPad, and wearables. Investors breathed a sigh of relief after Apple's latest quarter -- the third quarter of fiscal 2025 -- which showed a significant improvement in its product segment. Revenue grew 10% and diluted earnings per share (EPS) jumped 12% including double-digit growth in iPhone, Mac, and services. Despite the solid quarter, Apple's net income has slightly declined over the last three years, so its earnings are only up due to buybacks. But the stock price has gone up substantially, which has made Apple relatively expensive. Apple's results are headed in the right direction, but the valuation is far from cheap. In fact, Apple's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is the stock price divided by analyst consensus EPS estimates over the next 12 months, is higher than its five-year and 10-year median P/E ratios. Even if Apple performs as expected and the stock price doesn't move for a year, it will still be relatively expensive. Apple has to earn $4 trillion the hard way Apple is taking the right approach to integrating AI across its product suite. Apple's competitive advantages are its design, user-friendly products, seamless integration of software and hardware, and comprehensive product offerings for consumers and businesses. In other words, the everyday usefulness of Apple's AI features is the most important performance indicator. Investors who agree with Apple's deliberate approach to AI may still want to consider buying the stock now, despite the premium valuation. However, given how pricey Apple is, its road to $4 trillion in market cap will likely need to come from earnings growth rather than valuation expansion. With a market cap of $3.418 trillion at the time of this writing, Apple would have to jump 17% to cross $4 trillion. It could certainly grow earnings by that much in a year or two. And if investors like what the company is doing with AI, it could maintain its higher-than-historical valuation. All told, I expect Apple to cross $4 trillion in market cap by the end of 2026 -- but investors shouldn't expect the company to get there overnight -- even after adding $392 billion in market cap in just three days.
