Private-Markets Holding Platform

Leading innovation in private markets

We invest in, build infrastructure for, and advise on private markets.

DXA Group operates through four activities: regulated investment management, private-markets infrastructure, strategic advisory to families and founder-led companies, and transaction execution conducted through a FINRA-member broker-dealer. Everything we do is built on disciplined strategy, governance, and long-term value creation.

Our Activities

Four activities. One standard of governance.

Two operate through our companies, DXA Invest and Dealboard, and two through the mandates and regulated relationships of our leadership.

01Activity

Regulated Investing

dxainvest.com

DXA Invest is a Brazil-based private investment manager regulated by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM). Founded in 2012, the firm has developed a long-term investment approach focused on disciplined evaluation, governance, and portfolio construction across private-market strategies. Along the years, the firm has raised and deployed more than US$250 million.

DXA Invest operates through an institutional investment committee structure and emphasizes risk management, alignment of interests, and active portfolio oversight. The platform has deployed capital across private equity, venture capital, and real asset strategies, primarily in Latin America, while maintaining a global investment perspective.

02Activity

Infrastructure

dealboard.co

Dealboard is the group's fintech: a private-markets infrastructure platform for institutions, asset managers, and advisory firms. Its two product lines, Deal Feeder and Manager-as-a-Service, provide the structuring, workflow orchestration, data organization, and reporting layer that private-market transactions run on, replacing fragmented information and manual workflows with institutional-grade, auditable processes.

Dealboard is a technology and infrastructure company. It is not a broker-dealer and does not offer securities; where transactions occur on structures supported by the platform, they are conducted by the appropriately regulated parties.

03Activity

Advisory & Governance

Families · Founders · Boards

For more than two decades, the group's leadership has advised families, founders, and long-term allocators, always on the allocator's side of the table. Today that work continues as strategic advisory: growth strategy, governance design, succession, and institutional readiness for families and founder-led companies, alongside board mandates in the real economy.

These engagements are strategic and governance-focused. Where an advisory relationship gives rise to a securities transaction, that transaction is conducted separately through the regulated channel described below.

04Activity

Transactions

Regulated channel · Finalis Securities LLC

When the group's work involves securities transactions, including capital formation, private placements, or transaction-based engagements, those activities are conducted by Oscar Decotelli solely in his capacity as a registered representative of Finalis Securities LLC, Member FINRA/SIPC. Engagement documentation, compensation, and communications for such transactions run through Finalis under its supervisory procedures.

Oscar is also an affiliate banker within 361Firm, a global community of more than 11,000 single family offices, institutional investors, funds, and founders collaborating on investing and philanthropy, whose securities activities are likewise conducted through Finalis Securities LLC. Beyond transactions, he collaborates continuously with the 361Firm community on knowledge and education, contributing to its briefings, roundtables, and global conferences. Learn more about 361Firm.

This structure is deliberate: strategy and governance advice remain independent and non-transactional, while every transaction executes inside a regulated, supervised framework with full disclosures.
