Trade Ideas
BTLG active mgmt generates premium exits
BTLG, the largest logistics fund at BTG, actively manages a 3 million m² platform, selling 10-15% of the portfolio annually at 20-25% above appraisal by buying large portfolios at cap rates of 9-10% and selling individual assets at 8.5% to smaller funds, a 'buy wholesale, sell retail' strategy that captures value through scale and local market knowledge.
Logistics spreads should tighten significantly
The logistics FII sector is trading at a cap rate of ~9.5%, representing a 200 bps spread over NTN-B. Given its defensive nature, the spread should be closer to 120-150 bps, implying potential price appreciation if the spread normalizes.
Shopping spreads are historically wide
Shopping FIIs, which were market darlings pre-pandemic, are now trading at a 200 bps spread over NTN-B, whereas historically they should be at 120-150 bps. This wide spread presents an opportunity for spread compression if the sector recovers.
Corporate offices have 40% upside potential
Corporate office FIIs are trading at 70% of book value (a ~30% discount) with a dividend yield near 10%. The sector offers a 40-42% upside to book value, and with interest rate normalization and occupancy recovery, it could generate an IRR of 25-30% over 2-3 years.
Hotel sector has early-mover advantages
The hotel FII sector is still very small in Brazil, but BTG has built a 4B portfolio of 55 hotels and successfully raised R$600M for a new hotel fund with trophy assets (Fazenda Itaim, Fairmont Copacabana, Pullman Guarulhos). The sector offers long-term scalability and first-mover advantage.
