RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – With everyone working from home, it was hard to meet in a studio, let alone at events. But as typical Brazilians, they did not give up.

Seven managers succeeded in making money in these troubled market weeks.

The managers are Márcio Appel (Adam Capital), James Gulbrandsen (NCH Capital), Damont Carvalho (Claritas Investments), Carlos “Duda” Rocha (Occam), Luiz Nunes and Francisco Andrade (Forpus Capital), Luiz Fernando Alves (Versa Asset) and Pedro Cerize (kopos Investments).

Their “resume” in the year 2020, until the last available quote: Adam Macro Strategy: +3.91 percent; NCH Maracanã: +8.21 percent; Claritas Hedge: +2.12 percent; Occam Equity Hedge: +0.40 percent; Forpus Ações: +0.37 percent; Versa Long Biased: +7.73 percent; Skopos Brk: +16.77 percent.

All of them grabbed everyone’s attention as their funds succeeded in shifting from the market’s results in the last chaotic weeks with the advance of the Coronavirus pandemic around the world and its impacts on economies.

There is nothing better than to learn from those who have managed to implement winning strategies in this period, especially in times of quarantine and hand sanitizer shortage.
