Recommendation: ACCUMULATE · Rating 7.2/10
BODB11 provides financing for infrastructure projects (energy, sanitation, toll roads, fiber optics) by purchasing corporate debt securities (infrastructure debentures) and passes on the interest monthly without income tax for individual investors. Bocaina Capital, a private credit boutique administered by BTG Pactual DTVM, actively selects dozens of diversified issuers.
The unit price appreciated 22.6% over 12 months, but book value per unit declined from R$ 8.67 to R$ 8.04 because higher long-term interest rates reduced the paper value of the bonds—this is mark-to-market accounting (bookkeeping variation), not a default. The R$ 0.10/month dividend is genuine: it comes from corporate interest payments, not returned capital; it grew 70% over the year alongside accumulated inflation (IPCA) and new holdings.
Units trading at R$ 7.22 vs. a book value of R$ 8.04 = a discount of ~10%, with a tax-exempt yield of 15.3% p.a. (~18% tax-equivalent). Suitable for individual investors seeking tax-exempt monthly income who can tolerate unit price volatility; not suitable for corporate entities, immediate liquidity needs, or investors who cannot stomach seeing their account balance fluctuate. ACCUMULATE — a solid alternative to Brazilian inflation-linked government bonds (Tesouro IPCA+) with tax exemption; avoid if you cannot tolerate asset value fluctuations without defaults.
Our current reading of BODB11 is ACCUMULATE, with a score of 7.2/10. This score comes neither from the manager nor the administrator: it is Rico aos Poucos' editorial assessment, built from the documents the fund files with the CVM. Below is what supports it — and what argues against it.
Top of its peer group: Bocaina offers one of the highest dividend yields (15.3%) and trades at a discount to book value (0.89 P/BV). It ranks just behind the leaders due to lower secondary market liquidity (~R$ 844k/day) and smaller scale, but the carry-to-price ratio is attractive.
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| base | Selic converges to 10-11% in 2026-2027, IPCA stabilizes at 4-5%. Unit price approaches book value, P/BV returns to 0.95-1.00x. Dividend yield remains around 13-14% tax-exempt. Estimated total return: 16-20% p.a. over the next 12 months. |
| otimista | Rate-cutting cycle accelerates, IMA-B appreciates strongly. P/BV exceeds 1.00x, unit price reaches R$ 9.00+. Dividend yield holds at 12-13% while capital gains add 15-20%. Total return: 25-30% in 12 months. |
| pessimista | Fiscal scenario deteriorates, real interest rates rise to 7-8%, IMA-B loses value. P/BV drops to 0.80-0.85x, unit price falls to R$ 7.00-7.30. Distributions continue, but book value markdowns erode total return. Return: 5-8% (from dividend yield only). |
BODB11 continues to experience distribution growth: January-July 2026 distributions total R$ 0.58 (+70% YoY), with R$ 0.10/month paid on time, and units rose 22.6% over 12 months. The counterpoint in Q2 is mark-to-market adjustment: with rising real interest rates, book value declined from R$ 8.67 to R$ 8.04, NAV dropped from R$ 562M to R$ 522M, and P/BV rose from 0.90x to 0.95x—the discount remains, but the margin of safety is smaller than at the beginning of the year.
The core differentiator is the 15.34% dividend yield, fully exempt from income tax for individual investors—equivalent to approximately 17.8% on traditional taxable fixed income. This net spread over the Selic rate is the key pillar of the thesis and justifies allocation within a diversified portfolio.
Bocaina Capital's management, administered by BTG DTVM, has built a portfolio with significant sectoral diversification (transmission, sanitation, fiber optics, towers, toll roads, renewable energy), reducing concentration risk compared to single-sector FI-Infras. The 0.90% management fee is competitive, and the quadrennial performance fee aligns incentives for the long term.
Key risks to monitor are: (1) mark-to-market depreciation in the event of re-accelerating real interest rates, which already eroded part of book value in Q2; (2) regulatory risk regarding Law 12.431 in future fiscal packages; (3) secondary market liquidity, which has dropped to R$ 844k/day, requiring order splitting for large ticket sizes.
BUY recommendation with a rating of 7.5/10—a well-positioned fund for individual investors seeking tax-exempt monthly income with a 3-5 year investment horizon. With P/BV closer to 1.0x, dollar-cost averaging through monthly purchases makes even more sense to capitalize on mark-to-market volatility and build a position at a competitive average price.
