The Nest Fund Long Short Equities produced gains of 4.71% in July, accumulating a 18.06% return year-to-date. Amid the Minimum Redemption USD 50,000
volatile markets, we generated gains by shorting US banks and homebuilders against our long positions in the Brazilian financial

(+263 bps) and real-estate (+112 bps) sectors. The only relevant losses came from our long Real position (-86 bps), since we

In the past months, we have complained about the lack of compelling short opportunities in the local markets, due to the
strong (and highly correlated) upward moves across the board. This environment hinders our ability to successfully execute semi-annually or upon
our portfolio construction, especially in the local funds where only local assets are permitted by regulators. The Nest Fund, redemption
on the other hand, has the flexibility to allocate up to one-third of its equity exposure in non-Brazilian assets, which allows for

a broader spectrum of instruments to build a balanced portfolio. We have continuously argued that the external markets are
the weakest link in the Brazilian investment story. Therefore, buying domestic companies while shorting their international
peers may be a recurring theme for the months ahead. Bloomberg Ticker NESTFUA KY <Index>
