What Happened to TGAR11: Management Opens Up 163 Assets and Reveals R$ 501 Million in Debt

What Happened to TGAR11?

Management has opened up the numbers project by project for the first time. On August 27, TG Core released the first Fundamentals Spreadsheet for the TGAR11 real estate fund, detailing all 163 positions and revealing R$ 501.7 million in debt inside its special purpose entities (SPEs)—representing 19.85% of equity.

An SPE is a special purpose entity: a company created to handle a single development, with its own tax ID, accounting, and debt separated from the rest. TGAR11 does not directly own lots and apartments; it holds stakes in hundreds of these companies. That is why the debt appeared consolidated on the balance sheet but was never published project by project—until now.

Three publications came out on the same day: the July 2026 Managerial Report, the Fundamentals Spreadsheet based on July 31 data, and a 1-hour and 45-minute webcast featuring Pedro Ernesto (managing director), Mateus Siqueira (investor relations), and Henrique Leão (in-house economist). Combined, this marks the biggest transparency leap in the history of the fund, which marks its tenth anniversary in 2026.

What Is the Fundamentals Spreadsheet and Why Does It Change What You Can Know

Until August 27, TGAR11 unitholders viewed the fund in aggregate terms: total equity, percentage of completed construction, percentage of sales, and monthly earnings. The Fundamentals Spreadsheet is a 12-tab Excel file that breaks down all 163 positions one by one—each development with its own gross sales value (GSV), receivables portfolio, inventory, and leverage.

GSV stands for Gross Sales Value: the sum of everything a development is worth if all units are sold at the list price. It is the real estate sector's size metric, but it is not profit—land, construction costs, taxes, commissions, and interest still need to be paid out of the GSV.

This breakdown makes it possible to run a calculation that was previously impossible: comparing the profitability of each type of business within the same fund. And that is where the core finding emerges.

The Thesis Is Split in Two: Urban Development Carries, Residential Development Stalls

Real IRR is the internal rate of return adjusted for inflation: how much the project yields per year above the IPCA, accounting for cash outflows and inflows. A real IRR of 14.19% per year means 14.19% above inflation—in a country with a 12-month IPCA of 4.44%, that translates to a nominal return around 19%.

The gap between the two segments becomes even clearer when you divide the expected return by the GSV of each typology. Urban development expects R$ 1,940.1 million on an GSV of R$ 2,512 million—a 77% margin. Residential development expects R$ 89.1 million on an GSV of R$ 1,392.3 million—a 6.4% margin. In both cases, it is the same manager, the same country, and the same cost of capital. The difference is structural, and the manager explained why.

In subdivision projects, the SPE itself finances the buyer. Customers buy lots in installments directly from the seller, and cash flows in month after month without going through any bank. In apartment developments, however, the model relies on bank loan transfers (desligamento bancário): when construction finishes and buyers receive their keys, a bank takes over the property financing and pays the developer the remaining balance in a lump sum. That cash injection closes out the building's financials—and that exact link is what stalled.

Pedro Ernesto was straightforward about the mismatch: "Urban development is what we do well; it is more resilient in times like this (...) I wish 95% of our portfolio were urban development. Unfortunately, over the last 5 years, we caught a poor window for residential development." Today, urban development accounts for 54.20% of the fund's net asset value (44.05% directly, plus 6.40% in Cipasa and 3.75% in Nova Colorado), while residential development accounts for 17.78%.

Out of the 163 positions, 122 are already performed equity—the manager's criterion is construction above 80% complete—comprising 104 urban development projects, 17 residential developments, and 1 timeshare asset. Another 10 are in development, where the proportion flips: 8 are residential and 2 are urban development. The list is rounded out by 12 landbank positions (land purchased but not yet launched, raw inventory for a land developer), 9 real estate credit notes (CRIs), 6 equity positions, and 4 income-producing assets.

The R$ 501.7 Million Debt: Where It Is and What It Costs

Two things need to be clear before looking at the figures. First: this debt is not new, and it wasn't hidden. It already existed within the SPEs and was included in the net asset value via equity accounting. What happened on August 27 was the *disclosure* of that debt contract by contract, project by project. Second: this is not debt at the fund level. These are 33 construction financing contracts taken out by the project companies, which are amortized when properties are transferred to final buyers. It is the standard mechanism in the sector.

That said, the cost is real and monthly. With the CDI rate at 14% and the IPCA at 4.44%, the weighted average cost of the R$ 501.7 million sits around 15.3% per year—roughly R$ 76.6 million annually, equivalent to approximately R$ 0.27 per unit per month in interest alone, before any earnings reach unitholders. It is the toll that project cash generation must pay first. There are also R$ 81.6 million in contracted but undrawn credit lines, meaning approved credit ready to be tapped for construction.

Converted to a per-unit basis, the debt equals R$ 21.29 per unit, against a net asset value of R$ 107.24. That is the ratio the manager referred to live: "today TGAR has less than 25% debt relative to net asset value." The spreadsheet calculation confirms this: 19.85%.

On the other side of the balance sheet, the same spreadsheet consolidates what the fund is owed. The nominal receivables portfolio totals R$ 3,464.1 million, with 89.7% already performed. Brought to present value, this portfolio is worth R$ 2,381.3 million, or R$ 101.04 per unit. Inventory GSV totals R$ 1,517.3 million, or R$ 64.38 per unit, and rises to R$ 4.48 billion when including the landbank. Deducting debt (R$ 501.7 million) and remaining construction costs (R$ 245.4 million), the expected net equity return is R$ 2,168.6 million.

Why Distributions Have Been Stuck at R$ 0.72 for Seven Months

Distributions of R$ 0.72 per unit repeated from February to August—seven identical months, following R$ 0.71 in January. The spreadsheet explains why: the average cash generated over those seven months is R$ 0.7162 per unit. The fund is paying out practically everything it generates. In the first half of the year, it generated R$ 4.23 and distributed R$ 4.31 per unit—a payout ratio of 102%.

The comparison with 2025 provides an uncomfortable data point: during the same seven months of last year, the average cash generated was R$ 0.9978 per unit. That represents a 28.2% drop year-over-year. In 2025, the fund distributed R$ 1.00 per month, against an average generation of R$ 1.0066 for the full year.

However, the trend shifted during the quarter. Q1 2026 generated a monthly average of R$ 0.6816, Q2 2026 rose to R$ 0.7251, and July marked the best month of the year at R$ 0.7933. For the first time this cycle, the fund generated significantly more than it paid out: it retained R$ 0.07 in July, bringing accumulated reserves to R$ 0.14 per unit—enough to cover 0.19 of a monthly distribution. It is small in absolute terms, but it is the first reserve built this cycle.

The breakdown of July's earnings shows where each cent comes from: equity R$ 0.73, credit R$ 0.07, fixed income R$ 0.04, equities R$ 0.02, income properties R$ 0.00, and expenses of -R$ 0.07, totaling R$ 0.79. The main driver is equity—lot and apartment sales. The other lines are supplementary.

Regarding the priority order when cash gets tight, the manager left no room for interpretation: "I necessarily have to prioritize finishing construction and paying down debt. Unfortunately here, if unitholders face short-term credit restrictions, I will have to pull back a bit on this third pillar to ensure the survival of the other two." Construction first, debt next, distributions last. The guidance published in the Managerial Report for the second half of 2026 was reaffirmed at a range of R$ 0.70 to R$ 1.00 per unit—neither cut nor raised—with the explicit caveat that it "constitutes an estimate and does not represent (...) a promise, guarantee, or suggestion of future profitability." Over the past seven months, the fund has paid the bottom of that range.

The Shift Changing Distribution Payouts: 96 Months

The most important data point for income-focused investors is not today's distribution amount—it is a model shift described live by the manager. With bank financing transfers stalled, management has started financing apartment buyers directly, for up to 96 months, at "1% plus IPCA."

In Pedro Ernesto's words: "When I joined back in 2020, '21, '22, the vast majority of residential developments (...) relied on real estate credit, the bank loan transfer upon key handover. Having to change this strategy, I am no longer going to receive a lump sum like I expected to receive in '25, '26, '27. I am stretching out my receivables and with that (...) I am stretching out distributions. I am extending the capital payback period."

To put it simply: money that used to arrive all at once upon key handover will now trickle in over eight years of inflation-adjusted installments. The total amount tends to be higher because installments accrue interest; what stretches out is the time it takes for cash to arrive. The distribution wasn't cut—it was extended. For anyone buying the fund looking for monthly income over the next two years, this difference changes everything.

What the Manager Said About 2027 and 2028

It was the harshest statement of the webcast, delivered without euphemism: "Looking at '27 and '28, which will be years of severe adjustment in Brazil, things are going to get—to be realistic—things are going to get worse before they get better." He reinforced the diagnosis regarding long-term interest rates: "The long-term yield curve for next year is not cooling down yet; on the contrary, it is rising."

Regarding unit buybacks, demanded by unitholders given the 0.41 P/NAV ratio, the response pointed to cash constraints rather than conviction: "To execute a buyback, we would need more robust cash surpluses (...) if we had a large cash surplus fully addressed, it would certainly make sense to analyze a buyback at current secondary market prices. However, folks, we do not have that liquidity today." He countered that a buyback would "kill that cash buffer," whereas CRIs serve as a "liquidity reserve."

Regarding the investment cycle itself, the manager used the J-curve analogy—the pattern of an investment that initially consumes cash (construction, land, interest) and only later returns capital, forming a "J" on the cumulative cash flow chart. "Out of everything we've raised, we've allocated 780 million today (...) that exposure peaked near 1 billion at most (...) When this hits zero, that will be the payback moment." Cash exposure dropped from approximately -R$ 1 billion at its peak to -R$ 780.2 million. The last equity offering was R$ 600 million in July 2024, and since then, according to him, "it has been over a year since we stopped putting money into equity."

He also offered self-criticism regarding communication: "We as managers (...) failed to help unitholders gain stronger technical grounding, greater knowledge, and an understanding of our investment theses and cycles." The transparent spreadsheet is the practical response to that statement.

What the Net Asset Value of R$ 107.24 Is—and What It Is Not

This figure cuts both ways in the debate, and it is worth understanding how it is generated. TGAR11 does not value assets using market appraisal reports. It uses accounting rules: "we don't do it via appraisal reports; we do it via accounting, via PoC, via the equity method."

PoC (percentage of completion) is the accounting rule that recognizes revenue and profit as construction advances: if 60% of units are sold and 40% of construction is completed, the corresponding fraction is recognized. Equity accounting is the method by which the fund records its share of each SPE's net worth on its own books. In other words, TGAR11's NAV is the sum of the fund's stake in the accounting net worth of hundreds of companies, audited by KPMG, with financial statements closed in October and asset values updated in the first business days of January—which explains the step-function jumps that appear in NAV series between December and January.

This implies two opposing and equally true conclusions. First, a favorable one: NAV is not inflated by future sales expectations. As Mateus Siqueira ("all inventory is priced at cost") and Pedro Ernesto ("Inventory is at cost, so there is no valuation markup there") confirmed, the R$ 64.38 per unit in inventory is entered at construction cost, without a cent of the margin that future sales are expected to generate. Second, an unfavorable one: recognizing profit via PoC means earnings depend on sales actually taking place and installments being paid. If sales stall or defaults rise, the figure gets revised.

This same accounting choice explains a figure that has bothered long-term observers: net asset value per unit dropped 13.1% over 31 months, from R$ 123.42 in December 2023 to R$ 107.24 in July 2026—falling during a period marked by inflation. The cause is not downward land revaluation. Rather, inventory is recorded at what it cost, not what it is worth. "All inventory is priced at cost," said Mateus Siqueira; "inventory is at cost, so there is no valuation markup there," added Pedro Ernesto.

What gets adjusted for inflation is the receivables portfolio, contract by contract: installments signed by buyers increase with inflation every year. Unsold land does not. Land appreciation only appears on the balance sheet on the day of a sale, recorded as profit from that transaction, never as a revaluation of idle assets. For a fund with R$ 64.38 per unit in inventory, this means the R$ 107.24 NAV is an accounting floor that deliberately ignores unrealized margins—and that the decline in NAV across the cycle is largely inventory turning into receivables, and receivables turning into distributions paid.

What R$ 44.28 Buys, Line by Line

The Fundamentals Spreadsheet makes it possible to run a calculation that was previously impossible for outsiders: divide each fund line item by the 23,567,968 units in circulation to see what stands behind every R$ 44.28 paid on the exchange, as detailed below.

The first line is where almost everyone makes a mistake when describing the fund: TGAR11's largest asset is not idle land, it is consumer credit. The receivables portfolio is the set of installments buyers have already signed and have yet to pay—some maturing through 2034. Present value is this sum of future installments brought to today's money, discounting the time and risk of each: the R$ 3,464.1 million nominal total becomes R$ 2,381.3 million, which equals R$ 101.04 per unit in the table. Unsold inventory—actual land and idle units—amounts to R$ 64.38 per unit, less than two-thirds the size of the receivables book.

This shifts the nature of the risk significantly. The primary concern is not time risk over owned real estate—waiting years for a buyer. It is credit risk across thousands of buyers who have already purchased and are paying in installments, with the SPE acting as lender. The question that determines outcomes shifts from "when will this sell?" to "how many buyers will pay through to the end?" A thermometer for that second question is published every month: default rates, currently standing at 3.41% in urban development, 4.28% in residential development, and 7.12% in timeshares.

From there, we get the coverage calculation. Taking the present value of receivables (R$ 101.04 per unit), subtract all SPE debt (R$ 21.29) and all remaining construction work (R$ 10.41): you are left with R$ 69.34 per unit, or 1.57 times the market price of R$ 44.28. Put differently, at the screen price, already-contracted receivables net of debt and construction cover the price paid per unit one and a half times over—while inventory (R$ 64.38), landbank (R$ 4.16), income assets (R$ 7.76), CRIs (R$ 4.09), and equities (R$ 1.90) are essentially valued at zero.

For that coverage to disappear, defaults and contract cancellations (distratos) would have to wipe out about 25% of the entire portfolio. The gap between today's 3.41% default rate in urban development—which accounts for 54.20% of assets—and that 25% threshold represents the margin of safety built into current prices, and it is why default rates are the most critical metric in the monthly spreadsheet. Measured another way: the entire fund is valued at R$ 1.04 billion on the exchange, against an accounting net worth of R$ 2.53 billion.

The Two Sides of Return: 19.4% Returning in Cash, and How Much Is Capital Return

There is a bright side, and it is significant. Cash generation measured in 2026 averages R$ 0.7162 per unit monthly—R$ 8.59 annually. Against a unit price of R$ 44.28, that represents 19.4% of the price returning in cash every twelve months. This is not a projection: it is the average of the seven months already recorded in the spreadsheet, and it exceeds the R$ 0.72 actually distributed, which is why July left a reserve.

And there is the other side, which cannot be ignored: part of that cash is capital return, not profit. Capital return occurs when a fund hands unitholders money that was already part of their equity—the principal from an installment received, or proceeds from asset sales—rather than new earnings generated during the period. Recipients see the same amount hit their accounts, but the fund's net worth shrinks accordingly.

The math separating the two is straightforward and uses two full years. Between July 2024 and July 2026, with the unit count steady at 23,567,968, the fund distributed about R$ 21.50 per unit. Over the same interval, net asset value fell by R$ 7.45, from R$ 114.69 to R$ 107.24. Distributing R$ 21.50 while losing R$ 7.45 in NAV means economic earnings over the two-year period totaled approximately R$ 14.05 per unit—R$ 7.03 per unit annually. Relative to the net asset value of R$ 107.24, that equals 6.4% per year. The gap between R$ 8.59 in cash generation and R$ 7.03 in earnings is, precisely, capital leaving via distributions.

Both figures describe the same fund, and neither is the "right" number: R$ 8.59 is what hits the unitholder's account annually, while R$ 7.03 is what the fund actually produced. A third figure ties both sides together: those same R$ 7.03 per unit annually, measured against the market price of R$ 44.28 rather than the NAV of R$ 107.24, equal 15.9% per year. The fund's profitability didn't change between calculations—6.4% and 15.9% describe the exact same economic return. What changes is the price paid for it.

What Is Going Well

• B.Great. 119 units settled between April and July, amortizing approximately R$ 31.3 million. Production financing debt dropped from R$ 65.5 million in March to R$ 34.5 million in July. At a pace of roughly R$ 7.8 million per month, the Managerial Report projects "full amortization of the outstanding balance by December 2026."
• Jardim Roma. July marked the start of project distributions to the fund via Caixa transfers: R$ 7.3 million in the month, about 15% of the development's expected total.
• Esmeralda do Tapajós. Construction completed in November 2025 and occupancy permits (TVO) issued in May 2026 unlocked sales: jumping from 90 gross units in Q1 2026 to 304 in Q2 2026, up 238%. May was the best month in the project's history, with 156 units and R$ 16.01 million.
• Life In. 44 of 60 inventory units sold between April and July, leaving 16 (about 11% of the 144 marketable units). Caixa financing is approved, and loan transfers are expected within 60 to 90 days.
• Tempus. 6 of 24 inventory units sold in July, 5 in cash (R$ 4.0 million). The project stands at 100% PoC.
• Brasil Center Shopping (Valparaíso, Goiás), valued at R$ 75.1 million and 93% leased, reached breakeven for the first time this year and is making initial distributions.
• Credit. The fund acquired the 2nd subordinated tranche of the Maranhão CRI, worth R$ 9.18 million at IPCA + 16.00% p.a., backed by two completed subdivisions in Imperatriz (MA) with 4,845 units and an GSV of R$ 285.17 million, secured by unit collateral, cash-flow assignment, guarantees, and a reserve fund. It also fully sold the GVI CRI (R$ 4.25 million).

What Is Going Poorly

• Sales missed expectations for two consecutive quarters. In Q1 2026, management expected R$ 100 million in net GSV and hit R$ 114 million. In Q2 2026, sales fell short, and July followed suit. Pedro Ernesto noted: "from mid-May to June, the economy stepped on the brakes (...) and now in the third quarter, July also came in below expectations."
• Timeshare default rates at 7.12%, compared to 3.41% in urban development and 4.28% in residential development. Timeshares involve selling fractional usage rights to a property—each buyer acquires specific weeks per year. In July, Aqualand recorded 462 gross sales against 440 contract cancellations (distratos), but the Managerial Report explains this was deliberate: "a strategy to accelerate the release of fractions linked to contracts with higher default rates, allowing them to be remarketed during peak season." Addressing the "time bomb" label, the manager replied: "Not a time bomb (...) Construction is finished. If everyone cancels, we have a (...) hotel in a tourist region and it becomes an income asset (...) there is no leverage there"—and the spreadsheet confirms zero debt at Aqualand, the fund's largest single position, representing 9.68% of net assets.
• Trading liquidity shrinking. Average daily volume fell to R$ 3.13 million in July, down from R$ 10.58 million in May; portfolio turnover dropped from 14.40% to 5.98%.
• Shrinking unitholder base. Falling from 178,051 in July 2024 to 129,261 in July 2026: 48,800 fewer unitholders, or a 27% drop over 24 months. The unit count has remained frozen at 23,567,968 since July 2024.
• No performance fee for 31 months. The fee is 30% of returns exceeding 100% of the CDI, with the last collection in January 2024 (R$ 16.4 million). Zero since then means the fund has essentially failed to outperform the CDI for over two years. The 1.28% annual management fee is charged on market value rather than net asset value—which is why it dropped from R$ 2.25 million per month in December 2025 to R$ 1.33 million in July 2026, a 41% decline tracking unit devaluation.
• Projects lagging forecasts. Braviello recorded zero sales between April and July against expectations of 6 units (R$ 10.47 million), alongside 1 cancellation of R$ 1.50 million; occupancy permits were postponed from June to August. Jardã sold 3 units (R$ 1.02 million) against expectations of 11 (R$ 6.71 million), with 9 cancellations (R$ 4.32 million) driven by delivery delays—construction was completed in May, and that issue is resolved. At Art Haus, occupancy permits were delayed due to Fire Department and City Hall inspections, though the CERCON certificate has now been issued.
• Credit revenues dwindled. Falling from approximately R$ 4.5 million per month in 2025 to R$ 0.5 million to R$ 1.6 million monthly in 2026 as the portfolio was wound down to fund construction. 9 CRIs remain, totaling R$ 96.45 million (3.79% of net assets) at CDI + 3.28% and IPCA + 11.55%, with an LTV of 47.86% and a 0.97-year duration.

Macro Headwinds Driving the Year Ahead

Henrique Leão, the firm's economist, presented the data tying the entire thesis together. Market rates for retail housing credit rose from 10.83% p.a. in early 2023 to 14.31% p.a. in June 2026. Regulated rates—Minha Casa Minha Vida and SFH—increased from 8.66% in early 2024 to 10.82% p.a.

The manager translated the consumer impact: "On a 30-year mortgage, a buyer needs to go from an income of 15,000 to an income of 20,000 to buy the exact same unit." It is not a lack of willingness to buy—it's an entire income bracket that banks are no longer approving.

On the consumer side, household debt service consumes about 30% of income excluding housing credit, and the household debt-to-12-month-income ratio sits around 50%—both among the highest levels in historical series. The Central Bank's Quarterly Credit Conditions Survey, polling the seven largest banks, points to an unfavorable outlook for real estate credit in the second half of 2026, alongside tighter selectivity. The Selic rate remains at 14.00% p.a. and is viewed as restrictive by Copom itself; July's IPCA came in at +0.07% (analysts expected +0.03%), bringing 12-month inflation to 4.44%, within the 4.50% ceiling but above the 3.0% target center.

On the credit supply side, there are concrete offsets: capital injections into the Social Fund in April focusing on Tier 3 of the MCMV program; the Central Bank releasing 5 percentage points of reserve requirements (previously 20%) exclusively for real estate financing; and the SFH loan ceiling rising from R$ 1 million to R$ 2.25 million, expanding the pool of properties eligible for savings-backed financing.

Where high interest rates hurt, and where they barely touch. "Rates go up, real estate funds fall" is too blunt a rule for this case, because higher rates impact TGAR11 through three very different channels, and the heaviest one is not what you might expect.

The first channel is the discount rate, and it barely hurts. Bringing receivables maturing through 2034 to present value requires a discount rate, using the real yield curve—market interest rates adjusted for inflation, read from IPCA-linked government bonds. The higher these real rates, the less future money arriving in 2030 is worth today. In our fair value estimate—which is a Rico aos Poucos model, not a figure published by management—shifting the entire real curve by one percentage point changes results by about 5.4%:

This represents low sensitivity for a real estate asset, for two reasons: the fund's cash flow is short-term—consisting of contracted installments already in motion, not perpetual rents—and it is indexed to rise with inflation. Only 1.9% of fund revenue is tied to the CDI. To put the table in perspective: the gap between the trading price of R$ 44.28 and our central estimate of R$ 55.92 is 20.8%, larger than the spread across the entire table.

The second channel is the cost of debt, and it causes limited pain. Out of R$ 501.7 million in outstanding SPE debt, R$ 268.9 million is indexed to the CDI. If the Selic rate were to move from 14% to 18% p.a., it would add roughly R$ 10.8 million in annual interest—R$ 0.038 per unit monthly, or 5.3% of the current R$ 0.72 distribution. It is a measurable and unpleasant effect, but not a structural one.

The third channel is where it genuinely hurts: sales and defaults. Here, the issue is not interest rates on the fund's books, but rather income, employment, and credit availability for buyers. And this highlights the structural asymmetry shown in the typology table: land lots do not rely on bank financing because the SPE itself provides installment credit—allowing urban development to deliver a 14.19% real IRR with 86% of units sold. Apartments rely on bank transfers, which have stalled: residential developments show a 10.19% real IRR with 63% of units sold. High interest rates reach TGAR11 primarily through this indirect path, via buyers whose credit was rejected by banks, rather than the fund's own borrowing costs.

The Fund's Baseline Figures Today

Net asset value stands at R$ 2.527 billion, spread across 23,567,968 units and 163 positions across 20 states. By stated concentration, Goiás accounts for 37% of positions, followed by Pará (21%), São Paulo (10%), Mato Grosso (9%), Maranhão (8%), Santa Catarina (6%), Ceará (3%), and Minas Gerais (2%).

For readers new to the case, we recommend reading why the unit price fell below 50% of asset value, how June operations contrasted with falling unit prices, and the July report setting NAV at R$ 107.24.

Possible Paths Ahead and What Each Requires

The numbers published on August 27 do not point to a single outcome. They outline three paths, each with verifiable conditions that will either appear in upcoming quarterly reports or not. Readers must weigh the probability of each path; our role is to list what each requires to happen and the metrics that signal them.

Contraction Path. Requires the 2027-2028 adjustments described by the manager ("things are going to get worse before they get better") to materialize, buyer credit to remain constrained, and direct 96-month financing to become the rule rather than the exception in residential developments. Under this path, distributions drop from current levels because cash inflows stretch over eight years instead of arriving at key handover, and unit prices follow distributions downward.

Accommodation Path. Requires measured cash generation—R$ 0.7162 per unit monthly—to hold steady; the eight projects the manager promised to complete within 12 months to be delivered, ending the R$ 150 to R$ 160 million capital calls currently competing with distributions for cash; and credit portfolio recycling into CRIs yielding IPCA + 14% to 16% to rebuild financial revenues that dropped from ~R$ 4.5 million per month in 2025 to R$ 0.5 to R$ 1.6 million in 2026. Under this path, the fund neither improves nor worsens: it buys time.

Unlocking Path. Requires bank loan transfers to return to pre-2024 speeds and the R$ 1.52 billion inventory to turn over at the pace assumed by the 14.11% real IRR. This is the path where cash exposure of -R$ 780.2 million heads toward zero and the fund enters payback—the point where invested capital has fully returned, and subsequent inflows represent net returns. This marks the J-curve inflection described earlier, captured by the manager's remark: "When this hits zero, that will be the payback moment."

All three paths depend on the same three variables: buyer credit access, inventory sales velocity, and construction completion. You don't need to pick a scenario to know what to watch—the dashboard remains identical across all of them.

What to Monitor Going Forward

Five metrics indicate month by month which path the fund is traveling. All five come from the newly published Fundamentals Spreadsheet.

• Urban Development Default Rate—currently 3.41%. This is the fund's core thesis: urban development accounts for 54.20% of net assets and drives R$ 1,940.1 million of the expected R$ 2,168.6 million in net returns. This figure preserves or erodes the R$ 101.04 per unit in receivables, underpinning the 1.57x coverage ratio.
• Monthly Net GSV (Sales Minus Cancellations). July reached R$ 51.4 million, compared to roughly R$ 85 million per month in Q2 2026. At Q2 pacing, the R$ 1.52 billion inventory clears in about 18 months; at July pacing, in about 30 months. The difference between 18 and 30 months separates the accommodation path from contraction.
• Net Asset Value per Unit—currently R$ 107.24. It has been falling by about R$ 3 per year, consistent with a fund distributing more than it produces. An acceleration in this decline would signal contract cancellations reversing revenue previously recognized via PoC, meaning accounting profits that evaporated.
• Accumulated Reserves—currently R$ 0.14 per unit. This is the first reserve built this cycle, formed in July, covering 0.19 of a monthly distribution. Returning to zero serves as an early warning for a distribution cut, signaling that cash generation has stopped covering payouts.
• The Eight Construction Projects Over the Next 12 Months. Once delivered, the R$ 150 to R$ 160 million capital calls competing with distributions for cash will cease. Among the five variables, this is the only one depending solely on management execution rather than buyers or banks.

These five indicators are complemented by scheduled calendar dates:

• November 2026 — Gran Life Mall. The shopping center in Anápolis, Goiás, valued at R$ 40.6 million, has completed construction, is 43.07% leased, and opens in November. The leasing curve following opening will determine when the asset starts contributing to earnings.
• December 2026 — B.Great. The Managerial Report projects full amortization of the R$ 34.5 million outstanding balance by year-end, at a pace of roughly R$ 7.8 million per month. Hitting or missing this deadline will gauge the actual speed of bank transfers.
• January 2027 — Recalculated NAV. SPE financial statements close in October, audits are performed by KPMG, and net asset values are updated in the first business days of January. This will be the next milestone where R$ 107.24 is fully reassessed—bearing in mind inventory will continue to be entered at cost.
• Throughout the Half-Year — Guidance. The reaffirmed range is R$ 0.70 to R$ 1.00 per unit, with the explicit caveat that it "constitutes an estimate and does not represent (...) a promise, guarantee, or suggestion of future profitability." The fund has paid the bottom of the range over the past seven months.
• First Half of 2028 — Gran Life Medical. The R$ 30.9 million asset currently sits at 0% occupancy with openings scheduled for 2028; management is still seeking a hospital operator, and the fund will act solely as landlord.
• No Set Date — Landbank. Comprising 12 projects representing 3.88% of net assets, all are in approval phases except Campo Vieira (RS) and Cidade Viva São Domingos (GO), which hold issued development registrations and are in pre-launch. Some parcels are under sales negotiation, and each completed sale generates cash without requiring construction.
