Asset Management
Santander Asset Management
(SAM) operates in third party asset
management via investment funds
and managed portfolios for clients in
the segments of Retail, Private Banking,
Corporate and GB&M, in addition
to institutional investors.
For SAM, the 2013 highlights were
the partnership between the Santander
Group and the American private equity
firms Warburg Pincus and General
Atlantic. Together, the firms now hold
50% interest in a holding company
that integrated 11 fund managers with
offices in Europe and Latin America,
including the Brazilian branch (for more
details please see page 25).
Another highlight was the launch of
new products that provide the Brazilian
investor with access to foreign markets.
Sustained by its global expertise and in
opportunities in international stock
markets, the firm made available to
Brazilian clients a new family of funds
investing in global stock funds.
By the same token, SAM launched two
protected capital structures with returns
linked to the American stock market
performance: the Capital Protegido
Cesta Americana Multimercado (with
returns linked to the yield of a basket
comprised by the stocks of Apple,
Coca-Cola, Google, Macy's & The Walt
Disney) and Capital Protegido S&P
500Ⓡ Multimercado, with returns
linked to the growth of the S&P 500
Index. Both products reinforce the SAM
leadership in Protected Capital Funds
in Brazil.
In the institutional segment, SAM
launched a product to invest in funds by
several asset managers in the market
with value strategy (i.e., funds that
invest in shares that are significantly
below estimates), with a diversified
management in the stock market.
The manager also continued its
effort to simplify the range of funds
for all segments. In total, SAM
achieved a 36% average reduction
in its product range.
Assets under management closed
the year with an 8.4% growth,
to R$ 123.76 billion(1). SAM retained
its maximum rating by international
rating agencies Standard & Poor's (S&P)
and Moody's in Brazil.
A pioneer in
responsible funds in
Brazil, in 2013 SAM made
an effort to include the
sustainability criteria in
the selection of assets that
comprise the fund portfolios
in the country. Throughout
the year, 173 companies
were assessed and
monitored according to
an internal methodology,
in line with the criteria of
the Principles for Responsible
Investment (PRI).

Insurance, Pension Funds and Capitalization Security
Since 2011, the Insurance/ Private Pension at Santander Brazil has been
working in a partnership with Zurich Seguros, one of the largest insurance
companies worldwide. Back then the Santander Group executed an
international agreement with the Swiss giant, with the objective of joining
Zurich's expertise in product design and Santander's distribution power. With
the partnership in place, a joint venture was created i.e., Zurich Santander
Brasil Seguros e Previdência, which took over the responsibility of developing
products. The Bank, in turn, became the exclusive distributor of the joint
venture products.
Upon the consolidation of the partnership in 2013, Santander Brazil posted
a 25% growth in insurance commissions, totaling R$ 1.72 billion. Two main
business lines were the highlight. In loan-related products, the push came
from the launch of the first products designed for Corporate clients, the
Prestamista Capital de Giro and the Prestamista Cheque Empresa. In the
Open Market products, comprising individual and property insurance, sales
volume grew by 76%, boosted by Life Insurance, Auto Insurance and
Business Insurance.
In Private Pension, the Bank recorded a gross funding of R$ 3.2 billion,
with the launch of new products both in Retail and Private Bank, such as the Novo
Fundo Multi Ativo (a fund with variable income management, according
to the changes in the economic environment) and the Fundo Conservador
DI (100% in fixed-income securities).
In Capitalization Security (long-term savings with prizes) the Bank also posted
a growth with revenues of R$ 1.2 billion, up 10% YoY. The Bank retained
a good performance in the Reserva Protegida product (focused on Corporate
clients) with a growth rate above 50% YoY.
