Investment Banking maintained its leadership in key industry rankings and presented higher revenues in the first quarter, totaling R$ 654 million. The result is 41% higher than 4Q23 and 151% higher year-on-year, positively driven by record revenues in M&A and higher volumes in the debt market (DCM).

The credit portfolio totaled R$ 181.6 billion in the quarter, a 26.7% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023, with increased market share both in large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises, representing R$ 22.1 billion of the total portfolio.

Sales & Trading reported revenues of R$ 1.37 billion in the first three months of the year, with a strong contribution from client franchises. In a macroeconomic environment of increased uncertainty, both in the local and international markets, the bank maintained efficient risk allocation, with VaR of 0.36%, still below historical averages. From this quarter onwards, the Principal Investments area will be reported within Sales & Trading, due to the similar nature of the business and reduced relevance to total revenues. For reference, the Principal Investments line in 1Q24 had a contribution of R$ 13 million.
