A key point of discussion in the investment case for BTG involves treasury and
proprietary operations sizable contribution to results. This basically involves two
divisions: global markets (through BTG Participations) and sales & trading (mostly fixed
income, FX and local equities in Brazil). The global markets line is based on prop
trading/positions, essentially through capital allocated in hedge funds managed by BTG.
In this line results are market beta sensitive. The sales & trading line, for its part,
comprises brokerage, commissions, energy trading and results from positions assumed
by the bank taking market risk, frequently involving positions related to client trading
execution. The concerns regarding this line involve volatility and difficult predictability.
Although trading positions became a greater source of concerns after J.P. Morgans
problems, in our view BTGs positions are relatively small in most markets, and
consequently easier to unwind.
BTG Pactual (Brazil) and BTG Pactual Participations (Bermuda). Banco BTG
contains the investment bank, asset management, wealth management and sales &
trading, while BTG Participations encompasses the principal investments line (global
markets and merchant banking strategies, with proprietary money). BTG Participations is
a Bermuda company, without employees and almost no G&A expenses. Its capital and
assets are managed by Banco BTG Pactual, mostly through it asset management
company. This corporate structure adds complexity to the case, but also gives the group
flexibility in allocating capital and pursuing opportunities.
One of the most distinguishing features of BTG Pactual is its partnership Carlos Firetti, CFA - 55 11 2178 5363
scheme. BTGs partnership structure enables its employees based on their [email protected]
performance to become eligible to buy shares at book value (financed by the group),
Bruno Chemmer, CFA - 55 11 2178 4903
representing an important part of their compensation. In addition, partners shares
[email protected]
never vest to be traded in the market, and partners can only sell their stakes to the
partnership at book value. In our view this creates a strong alignment between Gustavo Lbo - 55 11 2178 5329
partners and minority shareholders, considering that partners have a major interest in [email protected]
generating returns and providing long-term sustainability for the company, since their
stakes constitute a large portion of their wealth.

Investment Thesis
We are initiating coverage of BTG Pactual (BBTG11) with an Outperform rating and
a target price of R$36.30. Based on our numbers, the company is trading at a P/E 2012
of 8.3x and P/BV 2012 of 1.7x. In terms of P/E, BTG is trading below large Brazilian
banks (Bradesco and Ita) and slightly above international peers. However, in terms of
P/BV, BTG has a significant premium, especially to its international comparables (large
local banks are trading at an average P/BV 2012 of 1.6x, while US and European
investment banks are trading at an average 0.6x P/BV 2012), implying expectations of
greater sustainable ROE. In our valuation model we assume a sustainable ROE of 22%
for BTG, despite managements guidance that the bank may deliver returns in the 25%-
30% range. Our more conservative assumption is due to a lack of visibility on a significant
portion of BTGs revenues, which are derived from trading.
Large Brazilian banks have in general been delivering returns of 20%, on average, while
international investment banks have been delivering ROAEs of below 8%. We should
bear in mind, however, that BTG has no perfect comparison. While large Brazilian banks
obtain most of their revenues from their retail operations (despite having their own
investment banking units), international comparables operate in more mature markets
and are undergoing a deleveraging phase that is hurting their returns. BTG, for its part,
has considerable flexibility in deploying capital, considering its structure in Brazil (Banco
BTG) and Bermuda (BTG Participations), which in our view results in fewer regulatory
constraints.
In our view, BTG is one of the best vehicles to take advantage of Brazilian capital
markets development and the countrys economic expansion. BTG operates in a
wide range of segments of Brazils capital markets, including investment banking, sales
and trading, and asset and wealth management. With a small and integrated structure,
BTG Pactual has considerable agility in its decision-making process. Its international
competitors with local Brazilian operations have sometimes suffered as a result of
troubles their parent companies have been having abroad, and have therefore
subsequently lost market share in recent years. Moreover, BTG operates with fewer than
1,400 employees, providing a quite efficient structure, with lower compensation ratios and
higher revenues per employee compared to its peers.
BTGs strong balance sheet in Brazil is an important differential for its investment
banking business, compared to other independent investment banks in Brazil
(those that are not linked to large Brazilian banks). We believe that in general,
capability to provide loans to investment banking clients in Brazil is crucial for getting
mandates in the investment banking business. Capacity to execute and distribute deals of
Brazilian companies is broadly similar, with the main difference in our view being strength
of personal relationships, creativity and corporate lending relationships. Although BTG
does not provide traditional banking services and plain vanilla working capital lines, it has
enough balance sheet capacity to provide loans associated with specific transactions,
bonds and other structured operations. This differentiates BTG in particular from
international investment banks that are facing capital restrictions in Brazil.

BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
turns to delivering sustainable long-term ROAEs that will increase BTGs book value per
share thus their own wealth. In addition, we believe the fact that a large portion of
partners wealth is linked to the bank means that they are more aware of risk
management, which is especially important in BTGs case given the importance of
proprietary trading gains in its total revenues.
Our main concerns regarding BTG are based on the fact that a large portion of
BTGs revenues rely either on proprietary trading gains or client execution
operations, which carry a great deal of market risk. Despite having a good track
record, and a savvy team of traders who are specialized in various asset classes, trading
and client execution operations can result in significant losses, as well as substantial
earnings volatility (especially on a quarterly basis). Thus, we fear that in scenarios of
greater market volatility and stress, BTG may deliver lower levels of return than its peers
with a more credit-oriented and fee-based revenue profile.
In our view, the greatest challenge for BTGs management is to improve investors
perception of the reliability and sustainability of earnings. One of the most intense
discussions during the IPO was related to the abovementioned dependence on trading
gains, which are largely considered highly unpredictable. In our view, expansion of fee-
based revenues as a share of total revenues is an important driver for the bank,
improving earnings quality. We see important developments in that direction in
businesses such as asset management, wealth management and investment banking.
Indeed, we expect strong opportunities for growth in the coming years in an environment
of lower interest rates, investments in infrastructure and maturity of investments.

Our parameters for calculating the cost of equity are presented in the table below. We are
using a beta of 1.31x (the historical average of a list of investment bank peers), which is
more than what we use for local retail banks (1.0x).
Ke (USD) 13.25%

As a result of our two-stage dividend growth model, we reach a fair value market cap of
R$32,080mn, and based on the total of 882.8mn units of BBTG11 issued, we reach a
target price of R$36.30 for the stock.
In terms of P/E, BTG is trading below Brazilian large banks (Bradesco and Ita), and
higher than international peers. However, in terms of P/BV, BTG has a significant
premium, especially to international peers (which we consider to be mainly Goldman

Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and UBS). While BTG
is currently trading at 8.3x P/E 2012 and 1.7x P/B 2012, its local comparables are trading
at 9.0x P/E 2012 and 1.6x P/B 2012, and comparable US and European banks are
trading at 7.7x P/E 2012 and 0.6x P/B 2012.
Keep in mind that there is no perfect comparable for BTG Pactual, either locally or
abroad. Although local large banks operate in the same environment as BTG (subject to
the same regulation and macroeconomic conditions), their focus is on their retail
operation, despite having their own investment banking units (BBA, in the case of Ita,
and BBI, in the case of Bradesco). US and European investment banks operate in an
entirely different macroeconomic environment and are having to significantly deleverage
their operations, which has impacted their levels of returns (average ROAE of 8%, while
Brazilian banks deliver over 18%).
In our view, BTG Pactual trades at a premium to its comparables, given its higher
expected returns and earnings growth. Management guided that sustainable levels of
ROAE are between 25% and 30%, and in our valuations, as a conservative approach we
use 22% as a sustainable level. Nevertheless, BTGs earnings should be volatile given
the market risk for some of the revenue lines, while local retail (which has fee and credit-
based operations), in particular, has much more stable earnings.

SWOT Analysis
Importance of proprietary trading for BTG Pactuals overall results. Results from
proprietary positions and trading represent a significant portion of BTG Pactuals results.
Despite the relatively small size of the positions compared to the overall market, as well
as careful risk management, the bank could experience volatility in its results in adverse
market conditions. Its results are generally market beta dependent (despite also
generating alpha).
Competition from other domestic and international players. Brazilian capital markets
increased relevance may attract even more players, further intensifying competition. In
this environment, BTG may have a smaller market share than expected, with a decrease
in fees.
BTG is highly dependent on its more senior partners. Departure of partners could
adversely affect BTGs ability to properly execute its business strategies and investment
policies, and could even undermine its ability to continue growing.
An important part of BTGs operations are not subject to Brazilian regulation and
Central Bank supervision, being subject to Bermuda law instead. The Brazilian
Central Bank is known for its strict monitoring and supervision, but since BTG
Participations is a company registered in Bermuda and not controlled by the Brazilian
bank, it is not subject to it.
Regulatory risks in Brazil. BTG is subject to developing local regulation, which in our
view has a tendency to become stricter, especially regarding proprietary trading and
investments, in line with what is under way in more-developed markets.
Strong positioning to tap into the development of Brazils capital markets and
economy. The countrys capital markets still have a long way to go before catching up
with more-developed economies. In our view, BTG is in a quite favorable position to take
advantage of this development in the coming years through its investment banking
division. Moreover, BTGs asset and wealth management divisions should both benefit
from Brazils financial deepening phase, in which more-developed investment funds
should be demanded in light of increased savings and lower interest rates.

Strong and permanent alignment between minority shareholders and partners, and
preserved ability to retain and attract new talent. In our view BTG was very innovative
in maintaining its partnership scheme, even after its IPO, unlike other investment banks
that went public around the world. The fact that partners only trade their stakes at book
value, meaning that shares never become vested for sale in the market, leads to long-
term commitment with returns. In our view, maintaining the partnership means BTG
preserves its strong capacity to attract and retain people, which in our view is central to
the business. Moreover, since a significant portion of partners wealth is usually linked to
BTGs book value, increasing BTGs book value per share (BVPS) through high levels of
ROAEs is in partners best interests.

Diversified revenue sources. Although trading accounts for a large portion of net
revenues, and some lines such as investment banking and merchant banking are rather
highly correlated to capital markets performance, BTG has other business lines that are
more recurring and fee based. BTGs corporate lending business is relatively small
(R$21.5bn book) and has considerable potential to grow. In addition, although the wealth
and asset management businesses depend on financial markets performance, they are
largely fee based. Meanwhile, we believe that BTG benefits from the fact that all its
business units have large cross-selling potential, especially between the investment
banking, corporate lending and wealth management divisions.

Unit holders of BBTG11 are investing in two separate entities: Banco BTG Pactual
S.A. and BTG Pactual Participations. Banco BTG Pactual is a Brazilian company listed
on BVMF Bovespa, while BTG Pactual Participations is a company registered in
Bermuda (subject to Bermuda law and tax code) and listed on Euronext Amsterdam. Unit
holders own 1 common share and 2 preferred class A shares of Banco BTG Pactual, and
1 BDR (Brazilian Depositary Receipt) linked to common shares and 2 BDRs linked to
preferred shares of BTG Pactual Participations. There is no holding company or direct
link between BTG Pactual Participations and Banco BTG Pactual. The unit serves as a
virtual holding company.

Although partners do not hold units, their economic interest in the company is the
same as unit holders. It is important to point out that partners hold preferred class B
shares in the bank (as opposed to unit holders, which hold class A shares), which can be
converted into common shares in the event of future equity offerings. This will allow BTG
to maintain the minimum parity of 50% common and 50% preferred shares, as required
by the Brazilian Central Bank. On the Bermuda side, partners own a direct stake in BTG
Investments LP (as opposed to unit holders, which own BTG Pactual Participations). This
explains why management holds a golden share in BTG GP Management to keep control
of BTG Participations. Management asserts that partners did not migrate to the same
position as unit holders because this would be a taxable event. Members of the
consortium have the option to migrate to BTG Participations from BTGI.

Why has management kept the two companies (Banco BTG and BTG

following reasons:
Despite not being listed on any corporate governance level of Bovespa, the units
entail 100% tag-along rights if holders decide not to break them up. Management
tried to comply with Bovespas Level I of Corporate Governance, but was unable to, as
the stock trades as a unit containing BDRs. The units have 100% tag-along rights only if
investors keep them as they are. If they decide to break up the units and trade BTG
Participations and Banco BTG Pactual separately (which is an option, although liquidity
should be an important constraint), the tag-along right drops to 80%. Management has
taken this action to prevent investors from breaking up the units.

BTG Pactuals partnership model remains in place, even after the IPO. Unlike other
investment banking and asset management firms in Brazil and around the world that
have gone public in the past, BTG has taken several concrete steps to ensure that its
partnership model will not change going forward.
Partners can only trade their shares among each other and only at book value. We
expect that such shares will never be eligible to be traded on the market or to third
parties, except for certain, limited exceptions, such as in connection with a sale of
BTG Pactual as a whole. It is important to point out that partners have always had to
acquire their stake in the partnership, and shares received by partners are economically
equivalent to units (shares of Banco BTG Pactual and BTGI). This acquisition can be
12

BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
financed under special conditions, and the vehicle used is BTG Pactual Participations.
Exiting partners receive the proceeds from the sale of their stake in 5 installments.
The partnership holds a call option against the partner, while the partner holds a
put option against the partnership (both with strike prices at book value). Since new
shares will not be issued for the partnership, new partners receive shares from existing or
departing partners. As a result, the partnership has the right, at any time and for any
reason, to require any partner to sell all or a portion of his or her stake at its current book
value, rather than the price at which the stock is trading on the market. This partnership
equity may then be resold to other existing partners or new executives at book value. If at
some point in time BTG Pactual shares are trading below book value, the strike price
changes to market price to prevent arbitrage. Additionally, if all partners decide to
exercise their put option at the same time, the partnership is only obliged to buy a
maximum of 12% of the shares in the partnership every six months.
BTG is an independent investment bank and asset and wealth management firm, with a
dominant franchise in Brazil. BTG has built a reputation in Brazil for its aggressiveness in
doing business across all of its revenue lines. Moreover, its attractive partnership scheme
has allowed for attracting and retaining important talent in the Brazilian capital markets.
BTG has operated as a meritocratic partnership since its inception in 1983.
BTG has its roots in Banco Pactual, which was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1983. In
2006, UBS acquired Pactual for US$2.6bn. After exiting Pactual, Andre Esteves founded
BTG in 2008, and used the company as a vehicle to buy Pactual back from UBS in 2009,
creating UBS Pactual. In Figure 11 below,, we show a timeline of BTGs history, including
important recent events such as the private placement in 2010, the acquisition of Banco
Panamericano and Celfin, and the recent IPO.
The private placement in Dec. 2010 was a very important step in BTGs history, as it
proved that it could bring strong names in the investment community to be part of the
banks business. BTG Pactual secured a capital infusion of US$1.8bn from a consortium
of international investors (the stake acquired was 18.65% of BTGs total capital at the
time), valuing BTG as a whole at US$9.7bn (2.2x P/BV 2010 post-money). The
consortiums members included:

COMPANY REPORT
BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
The 2012 IPO secondary offering targeted some of the consortium members that wished
to sell their stake either in full or partially (JC Flowers, Agnelli family, Rothschild and
Motta family office were the main sellers). We point out that of the 18.65% stake acquired
in 2010, 2.6% was acquired by BTGs current partners. The 2.6% is the only stake owned
by partners that is outside the partnership scheme, and therefore allowed to be sold on
the market. Despite being allowed to sell in the IPO, none of the partners who
participated in the private placement sold any stake in the secondary offering.
BTG Pactual has over 1,300 employees, and offices on four continents: South America
(So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Braslia, Recife, Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte), North
America (New York), Europe (London) and Asia (Hong Kong). With the acquisition of
Celfin (Chilean investment boutique, with strong presence in the Andean region) in early
2012, and thus far not yet approved by the Brazilian Central Bank, BTG has considerably
increased its presence in Latin America.
BTG features a solid balance sheet, with a positive gap between its credit portfolio and
funding. As of the end of 2011, average funding maturity was at 953 days, while the
average term of the credit portfolio was at 900 days. Moreover, BTGs positive credit
ratings (Global Scale Investment Grade by S&P, Fitch and Moodys) help explain the
banks abundance of funding, both locally and internationally. BTGs average local cost of
funding is 102.6% of the CDI, while its average offshore cost of funding is 2.7% p.y.
Given that BTG has only wholesale funding sources, we consider its average cost of
funding to be quite positive. Time deposits are BTGs main source of funding, accounting
for 52% of its total funding base. The second most important funding source is the

Although BTGs capital ratios are above the Brazilian Central Banks minimum
requirements (BIS ratio of 16.2%, with 10.3% in Tier I capital, while the minimum required
is 11% for the total BIS ratio), BTGs Tier I capital is below the averages of its both its
local and international peers. Nevertheless, these figures do not include the IPO
proceeds, which will significantly improve the Tier I figure. We do not know by how much
the Tier I ratio will improve, because it will depend on how the new capital will be
allocated between Banco BTG Pactual and BTG Participations. It is important to note that
the dividend policy allows BTG to direct payments either from the bank or BTG
Participations to reach the 25% payout of combined earnings. This policy is quite positive,
as it allows BTG to retain earnings in the bank if BIS ratios ever become tighter.

BTG Pactual Participations is not an operational company; the investments are managed
by the asset management division in Banco BTG, which receives arms-length
management fees.
Since there is no controlling entity linking Banco BTG Pactual and BTG Pactual
Participations, there are no consolidated financial statements for BTG Pactual. Therefore,
the unit serves as a virtual holding company, and the combined adjusted income
statement in BRGAAP (unaudited) aggregates the numbers from both companies.
The revenues breakdown presented in the figure below is in line with the functional view
used by BTGs management to monitor the companys performance, and it is how BTG
reports its figures in its MD&A. We point out that each revenue line is net of transaction
and funding costs (including cost of net equity), when applicable.

BTG offers financial products and services to clients in local and international markets,
including market-making, brokerage and clearing services, as well as derivatives, interest
rate, foreign exchange, equities, energy and commodities transactions for hedging and
trading purposes.
One of the most important revenue lines for BTG Pactual is sales and trading, accounting
for 32% of revenues in 2011. Treasury operations and client execution in all major
markets and asset classes (especially in the local interest rate futures market) account for
the bulk of this revenue line. The sales and trading division is broken down into the
following segments:
FICC and FICC brokerage. Includes the client execution business (flow) and
treasury operations in the local fixed income, currency and commodity markets,
as well as the brokerage division linked to these operations. BTG was the
number 1 dealer in public debt offerings from the National Treasury in 2011.

Energy trading. At the end of 2010, BTG acquired Commex, becoming the
largest independent energy trader in Brazil.
The interest and others line represents gains on the banks working capital (own equity
yielding local interest rates), and accounted for 21% of net revenues in 2011. We
highlight that each revenue line is net of transaction and funding costs (including cost of
net equity), when applicable.
Asset Management
BTGs asset management division offers a range of products including Brazilian and
international asset classes to local and foreign clients, private equity and infrastructure
funds, as well as general fund services (calculating NAVs, preparing fund accounting,
pricing securities, etc.). The asset management division is also responsible for managing
the merchant banking portfolio and the global market funds of BTG Participations
(Bermuda). Currently, BTG is Brazils largest independent fund manager and the sixth-
largest fund manager overall, with over R$85bn in AuM.
Brazil Multi-Market
The asset management division represented 16% of BTGs net revenues in 2011. Like
the rest of the local asset management market, BTGs funds are mostly fixed income and
multi-asset hedge funds (of which a large portion is fixed-income position). This fact helps
explain the average fee of 37bps posted for 2011.

Investment Banking
The investment banking division accounted for 12% of BTGs net revenues in 2011. BTG
operates in all the traditional investment banking segments, providing financial advisory
through its M&A division and capital market services division, including the issue of debt
and equity through its DCM and ECM divisions. BTG has a leading position in the
Brazilian M&A market, and is number 2 in both ECM and DCM in terms of volumes.
BTGs main competitors in the investment banking division are local investment banks
linked to large commercial institutions (Ita BBA and Bradesco BBI). Foreign competitors
leading positions have been eroding because of troubles with their parent companies
abroad.
The investment banking division is a strong cross-selling tool to link with other platforms
of the bank, such as the wealth management division and the corporate lending division.
For example, after conducting a family business IPO, the selling companys owner is an
obvious target for BTGs wealth management department. The same thing happens with
corporate lending to companies, in exchange for commitment to hire BTG in future
potential debt or equity offerings.

Corporate Lending
The corporate lending division offers financing, structured credit and loan guarantees to
companies, and accounted for 11% of revenues in 2011. BTGs corporate lending book
as of YE2011 was R$21bn, almost evenly split between loans, funds (comprising loan
portfolios acquired from third parties), marketable securities (debentures and shorter-term
notes) and letters of credit (guaranties).
Unlike large Brazilian commercial banks (Bradesco, Ita and Banco do Brasil), lending is
not among BTGs core businesses, although it is an important cross-selling tool with
investment banking, wealth management, merchant banking and the FICC distribution
desk. This factor is evident when we look at BTGs loan-to-equity ratio of 2.6x, compared
to large Brazilian banks average of 6.0x (5.7x for Bradesco, 5.6x for Ita and 7.0x for
Banco do Brasil). According to BTGs management, its maximum leverage ratio
(loan/equity) is 3.0x.

BTG Pactual.
Proprietary trading in global markets had US$1.6bn in AuM at YE2011, and management
has stated that in recent years, return on average assets has been 20%. Regarding the
merchant banking and real estate portfolio, the investments began in 2009, which
explains the fact that no significant disinvestment gains were posted for 2009-2011. The
merchant banking and real estate portfolio had a total of R$2.5bn in investments at book

The principal investments line represented 5.7% of revenues in 2011, although in 2009

Wealth Management
BTGs wealth management division provides investment advisory and financial planning
services, and currently serves only High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) with financial
assets over R$10mn. This is higher than the average for peers in Brazil, such as Itas
wealth management division, which has a financial asset requirement of only R$1mn.
Total WuM (Wealth under Management) is currently R$38.9bn, having posted a CAGR of
45.2% for 2008-2011. According to management, this strong growth is partially
attributable to the fact that BTG benefited from the merger of Ita and Unibanco. As
Unibanco had a very strong wealth management division, the merger resulted in BTG
gaining a portion of Unibancos former clients. In 2011 the wealth management division
accounted for approximately 5% of BTGs net revenues.
BTG has a broad footprint in Brazil, with offices in So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife,
Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Braslia, Salvador and Curitiba, as well as an international
team in New York. The acquisition of Bankred, a Swiss wealth management platform in
2012, added to the range of services BTG can offer its local clients.

BTG Pactuals most important business line is sales and trading, which represented more
than 30% of the banks total revenues in 2011. Nonetheless, this line is also the toughest
to forecast, because of its high correlation to the various asset classes being traded,
either by BTGs treasury, or targeting client flow and execution. Besides market prices, an
important factor for this revenue line is market volume, which impacts client-driven
operations.
The most common method of forecasting trading revenues or any other line directly
linked to market risk is to use the trading lines VaR (Value at Risk) metric. Calculating
revenues per unit of VaR, and assuming the bank will either increase or decrease its
exposure/risk (assessing VaR going forward), is a common way to forecast trading
revenues. We point out that BTG does not disclose the VaR by revenue line, but only the
aggregate VaR for the bank.
In our view one of BTGs main competitive advantages is its ability to attract talent.
Although unpredictable, in our opinion BTG is likely to continue delivering consistent
gains on treasury and client execution in the coming years. Moreover, we expect the
brokerage division to continue posting solid numbers going forward, despite currently
accounting for less than 10% of the sales and trading revenue line. Both equity and
derivatives brokerage fees are considered in the sales and trading line.
22
COMPANY REPORT
BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
As the interest and other line represents gains on BTGs working capital (own equity
yielding local interest rates), as a proxy we forecast this line as the banks average equity
multiplied by the expected Selic rate. Therefore, the main growth drivers for this line are
retained earnings, as well as the nominal Selic rate. We point out that temporary hedging
effects can distort this line, especially, on a QoQ basis.
It is important to note that up until 2010, the bank did not fully hedge its operations to the
BRL (as its local peers do). By over-hedging, the bank sells dollars in the futures market,
which increases exposure to the Selic rate. Furthermore, the private placement in Dec.
2010 raised BTGs capital to US$1.8bn. As a result, these two effects help explain BTGs
substantial variation in growth in the interest and other line in 2010 and 2011.
Asset Management
In order to forecast BTGs asset management activities, we broke down the division into 4
categories: Brazilian fixed income and equities, fund services, private equity and real
estate, and global hedge funds. The main idea was to forecast growth of AuM (Assets
under Management) and determine revenues as a result of the average fees and average
AuM. It is important to note that the average fees included both base and performance
fees.
The asset management divisions growth drivers are therefore the increase in AuM and
the evolution of average fees. In our view, due to greater competition and a drop in
nominal interest rates, the divisions average fees should show a downward trend going
forward. Regarding the prospects for growth in AuM, we believe that BTG has a solid
reputation in the various fund classes (fixed income, currency, multimarket, equity, private
equity, global, etc.), and it has been able to deliver sustainable above-average historical
returns on its funds. Therefore, the division should experience no difficulty in improving its
market share in this highly-competitive market.

Investment Banking
To forecast BTGs investment banking revenues, we have broken down the division into 3
main activities: M&A, ECM (equity capital markets) and DCM (debt capital markets). As
the divisions revenues are a product of these 3 variables, the main idea is to forecast the
overall market growth for these activities, as well as BTGs expected market share and
average fees charged.
As the M&A, ECM and DCM markets in Brazil are highly competitive (considering local
banks such as Bradesco BBI and Ita BBA as well as the local operations of international
banks such as Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, etc.), we expect BTGs average fees to
decrease going forward. Meanwhile, BTGs market share is also likely to shrink (although
both its fees and market share should only decrease at a slow pace).
To forecast the overall ECM market, we have estimated the number of IPOs that we
expect in a given year and multiplied this number by the expected volume per
transaction. As a large number of smaller companies already have access to the equity
capital markets, we expect the number of IPOs per year to continue to increase, while
average ticket of deals should decrease.
For DCM, the situation is quite similar, as we expect significant growth in the number of
companies accessing the debt markets, as it is a cheaper option than bank loans.
Likewise, average ticket is likely to decrease.

Corporate Lending
We expect BTG to post significant growth in its overall credit portfolio going forward (47%
for 2012), for two main reasons: i) BTGs current book is relatively small (R$21.4bn in
1Q12), making it easier to gain market share; and ii) we expect part of the IPO proceeds
to go towards increasing this credit line. The banks management has guided that
leverage will not exceed 3.0x (credit/equity), compared to 2.3x in 1Q12. Indeed, we
believe that management will rapidly raise this ratio to around 2.6x in the coming years
(its peers such as Bradesco and Ita operate with ratios of 6.5x).
We have broken the corporate lending book into 4 segments (loans, funds, letters of
credit, and marketable securities). We estimated the loan growth for each of the
segments separately, and calculated what we expect to be the average spread for each
segment. Regardless of the segment, we expect a downward trend for spreads going
forward, reflecting greater competition and declining nominal interest rates. It is important
to note, as well, that we are considering spreads that already take delinquency into
account, and thus the estimated revenues from corporate lending is net of loan loss
expenses.
25
COMPANY REPORT
BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
Principal Investments
The most important revenue source in the principal investments line is global market
revenues. The bank ended 2011 with R$3.1bn in proprietary AuM, and we expect a large
part of the proceeds from the IPO to be used to strengthen this proprietary trading line,
which explains the strong growth that we expect in AuM for 2012. BTGs management
has guided that its traders have historically delivered ROAA of over 20% (although this
seems quite high, we still do not know what kind of leverage is implied in such returns).
We are expecting a return of 29.4% for 2012 given 1Q12s strong performance in terms
of revenues from global markets. Nonetheless, we have adopted a more conservative
estimate going forward due to this lines highly volatile nature. As a result, we expect
ROAA of 18% in the coming years.
The merchant banking divisions revenues come mainly from MtM (marking to market)
gains, as every investment is booked at book value, and disinvestment gains when the
companies are sold. We separated the division into merchant banking and real estate,
because the real estate assets make up the bulk of the investments. Other revenue
sources include: received dividends from invested companies and rent from real estate
portfolios (which are small compared to the potential gains from MtM and
disinvestments).
Given that the merchant banking portfolio is relatively new, most of the investments are
dated from late 2008, 2009 and 2010, and there have not been significant disinvestment
gains so far. For instance, a typical private equity fund usually takes as long as 7 to 10
years to disinvest. In our view, the R$2.5bn portfolio (book value) has considerable
potential as investments begin to mature. In our forecasts, we do not assume any gains
from disinvestments in 2012, but instead we assume an annual gain of R$750mn in 2013
and subsequent years. Nonetheless, we stress that disinvestment gains are difficult to
forecast, mainly because they depend on conditions in capital markets or private
operations.
Wealth Management
BTG Pactuals asset management division is highly recognized for its top performing
funds, which are a valuable marketing tool for expanding the wealth management
divisions WuM. Moreover, like the asset management division, BTGs wealth
26
COMPANY REPORT
BBI Equity Research Monday, June 4, 2012
management services should benefit from the financial deepening currently under way in
Brazil, which should be sustained in the coming years. We believe growth in WuM should
remain at levels of above 20% in the coming years. Regarding fees (which includes both
base fees and performance fees), we anticipate BTG gradually reducing them going
forward, due to greater competition and lower interest rates.
Banco Panamericano
According to our numbers, Panamericano should reach ROAE levels above 17% only by
2016, which may seem conservative. Nonetheless, Panamericanos revenues are still not
particularly significant in relation to BTGs total revenues.
Based on our estimates for each of BTGs business lines, we estimate net revenues of
R$5,608mn for 2012, with a CAGR of 39.1% for 2011-2014.

BTGs main operating costs are related to personnel. Including bonuses and salaries,
personnel expenses account for up to 57% of operating expenses (of which bonuses
account for 69% of that figure). The other costs are general and administrative expenses,
tax expenses, goodwill amortization (BTG has a small amortization figure of ~R$30mn
p.a. related to the acquisition of Commex, its energy trading unit) and retention expenses
(following BTGs purchase of Pactual from UBS in 2009). The figure below shows a
breakdown of BTGs operating costs.

39.0%
Salaries and Benefits

24.5%

Goodwill Amortization
BTG has clear parameters set for bonus payments, which are always 25% of adjusted
operating results. The banks adjusted operating results are composed of net revenues,
excluding the interest and other line, as well as salaries and other administrative
expenses. In our view, this type of variable payment is quite positive for BTG as it
depends on the banks actual revenues.
Regarding personnel and other G&A expenses, we do not expect BTGs headcount to
rise much in the coming years, although some expansion is expected in 2012 and 2013,
especially if we take the acquisition of Celfin into account, along with a probably more
aggressive Latam expansion strategy. Thus, we expect BTGs current headcount of
1,357 (as of 1Q12) to expand by ~17% in both 2012 and 2013, after which the rate of
expansion should decrease significantly, to around 9%. Excluding this organic growth
impact, G&A and personnel expenses going forward should grow in line with inflation.

On the whole, we see BTGs operating expenses as currently being under control, and
not a matter for concern. On the contrary, as we mentioned earlier, BTG is one of the
banks with the highest productivity levels (lowest compensation ratio and highest
revenues per employee). We estimate operating costs reaching R$1,921m in 2012, with
a CAGR of 26.3% for 2011-2014.

We estimate BTG posting adjusted net earnings of R$2,713mn for 2012 and R$3,599mn
for 2013, representing ROAE of 25.0% and 24.8%, respectively, with a net margin of over
48.0% for both 2012 and 2013.
Although management guided that BTG can deliver sustainable ROAE levels of between
25% and 30%, we are adopting a more conservative stance in light of the banks high
dependence on trading gains and client flows, which are subject to significant market risk.
Nonetheless, even adopting this conservative stance, we believe that BTG can deliver
returns above those of its local large-cap peers. The banks high level of returns and
margins are due to its high productivity, as highlighted in this report.
