Trígono sets itself apart in the market due to its prominent position in the key companies invested in and due to the strategy of concentrating its portfolios in only a few companies, given the conviction of the investment team. As such, we are the most significant minority investors in a number of companies, or among the Top 3. This position allows us to appoint and elect board members and directors for the audit committee member, observing the strict independence of the members, the skills needed for the positions, and remembering that the members work for the companies and not for investors who appoint and elect them. This is an essential precept of governance and ensuring equity in governance, and not trying to comply with the specific demands of certain investors that may not necessarily be the best for everyone, regardless of whether they are controlling or minority. We believe that Trígono takes quite an active role at shareholder meetings and, due to its size, is one of the most relevant management companies in terms of the number of investees and board members appointed by it. We’d like to point out that managers or any professionals working at Trígono do not participate as board of directors and audit committee members, avoiding conflicts and access to information of a non-public and privileged nature.

However, we maintain a channel of dialogue with the board, providing suggestions on behalf of all shareholders. In addition to maintaining contact with the board, we seek to open channels of dialog with executives, controllers and other minority investors, in an effort to align interests for the benefit of everyone, favoring the company’s governance and generating value for shareholders.
