Key events during the quarter

4Q25 NAV increased 7% QoQ, while FY25 NAV was up 23% YoY, ending 2025 at USD 433.8 mln. The positive quarterly NAV movement was mainly driven by the successful fundraise in our core portfolio holding Creditas (+18% QoQ).

Creditas 3Q25 results showed robust and continued improving trends as loans grew 17% YoY alongside delivering record quarterly revenues of BRL 592 mln.

VEF CEO, Dave Nangle, comments:
"4Q25 was an important quarter on many fronts and concludes a very satisfying year for all at VEF. Our portfolio is humming and is compounding nicely once more, driving up NAV per share. Strategically, we are transitioning our focus from clear short-term wins and are readying ourselves to put capital to work again, investing in our next generation of winners. Getting the balance right is key to creating a long-term attractive investment company.”
