Brazil Value Talks: Lucas Uhlig
Multiplied Invested Capital by 6x in 4.5 Years
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Brazilian investor Lucas Uhlig.
From January 2020 to July 2024 his historic performance will be the envy of anyone.
His portfolio returned more than 471.76% in the period, versus 9.25% for Ibovespa.
He multiplied the invested capital by 6x!
This guy knows how to generate real value.
Shall we meet him?
BS: Uhlig, could you tell us a little about yourself?
LU: I was born and raised in the countryside of Rio de Janeiro, I am 28 years old, married, father of 2 girls and a great lover of taking risks.
I come from a middle-class family, my mother is a municipal teacher and my father is a sergeant in the Brazilian Air Force. I always had support to study in private schools and this allowed me to earn scholarships in high school and college – which contributed to my academic development and entry into the financial market.
When I turned 18, I moved to the capital of Rio, where I briefly studied Law and later changed my major to Administration. Today I have a postgraduate degree in Administration and am finishing my degree in Finance – I am very passionate about academia and intend to dedicate myself more to it in the future.
About my career, I had the opportunity to work in large companies, such as a large service provider for JSL (now Grupo Simpar), then Itaú Unibanco and I had a brief stint at KPMG, in the auditing department of investment funds. Later, when I was older and getting married, I returned to the countryside, where I had the opportunity to work briefly in local companies before joining TC – a company that taught me a lot and I am very proud of the entire history we built.
Since then, I have spent 10 years working in some way in the financial market, whether in sales, marketing, technology, until I became established in investments.
BS: What is your strategy for making money on the stock market?
