Galapagos Capital invests in global connections to guide financial decisions

It is in this context that Galapagos Capital has consolidated its positioning as a global, independent and integrated investment company. The company has structured a complete and correlated model from the start. “Galapagos was born as a global investment company with the vision of being an integrated platform, operating in the areas of investment banking, asset management, wealth management and credit, using the capital market and technology as tools, with a more agile structure and closer to its client, changing the way of banking and connecting those who need capital with those who have capital to invest,” explains Marco Bologna, partner of the company.

The integration proposal reflects a reading according to which financial decisions are no longer made in isolation. Resource allocation, estate planning and business strategies have started to influence each other, especially in a scenario where investors and businesses are seeking more sophisticated and personalized solutions aligned with long-term goals.

For Bologna, this transformation is continuous and precedes recent movements in the sector. “Markets are constantly evolving and finance is perhaps the one that anticipates innovations most quickly,” he emphasizes. “From the beginning, we have positioned our company to be at the forefront of this evolution, which is not only about technology, but also about the way of thinking and positioning. He emphasizes that, in recent years, different institutions have started to converge towards this same strategic reading. In the technological field, Galapagos has dedicated significant investments to the most relevant areas at the moment. “We have invested massively in data and artificial intelligence, in the same direction as the big players, with the advantage of not carrying legacy structures,” explains Bologna. However, he emphasizes that technology alone is not enough to support a coherent value proposition.

“Our greatest asset remains people. We have built a true partnership, focused on merit and responsibility, with a single objective: the customer,” says Bologna. This corporate and governance structure aims to ensure alignment between decision-making, risk management and the long-term interests of the customers served by the platform.

Throughout 2025, this strategy has resulted in progress on different fronts. The entry into the ETF market has expanded access to standardized and efficient instruments for resource allocation. Mergers and acquisitions advisory services have strengthened the company’s presence in strategic business decisions. The development of structured solutions, including instruments linking the capital market to other sectors, has highlighted the capacity for institutional innovation and regulatory coordination.

At the same time, international expansion has gained importance in the strategy of Galapagos, present in ten cities in Brazil, the United States, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates, following the growing demand from businessmen and families for global wealth planning and access to financial structures outside Brazil. The integration between wealth management, international investments and financial services strengthens the proposition of offering comprehensive solutions in an increasingly interconnected environment.

Although distinct in nature, these initiatives follow the same strategic axis. “Our concept has always been to introduce the silver applicator to the silver taker, being a risk taker to facilitate this encounter. To this end, we have built an ecosystem capable of fully serving our customers, whether locally or internationally,” explains Bologna. According to the executive, this is a long and continuous process, which requires discipline, strategic vision and the ability to adapt. “The 2025 initiatives go exactly in this direction, in full alignment with our strategy since its creation, always with an absolute focus on the needs of our customers. »

In an ever-transforming financial market, Galapagos’ recent trajectory reinforces the idea that your investments and businesses evolve when you make the right connections.
