Brazil CVM Filings for Private Equity Research
PE associates covering Brazilian targets and public comps need primary Brazil filings private equity inputs — not slide decks alone. apicvm delivers DFP/ITR/FRE over HTTP for memo footnotes and data rooms. It is not a deal database or valuation product.
The persona
- PE / growth associates building public comps packs
- Operating partners tracking disclosed contingencies
- IR-facing teams that need PDF audit trails with stable IDs
The problem
| Need | Typical CVM source |
|---|---|
| Audited financials for comps | DFP |
| Fresh quarterly prints | ITR |
| Governance, related parties, risks | FRE sections |
Portal clicks do not scale across a 15-ticker comps set.
Solution flow
Comp tickers
→ GET /v1/companies/resolve
→ GET /v1/documents (DFP/ITR/FRE + name filters)
→ GET /v1/documents/:id/file
→ optional POST /v1/document-text-extractions (searchable text)export APICVM_KEY='apicvm_...'
export APICVM_URL='https://apicvm.dev'
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICVM_KEY" \
"$APICVM_URL/v1/documents?ticker=TOTS3&type=FRE&year=2024&name=Administracao&perPage=20"What to pull for a comps pack
- Latest DFP for each public comp
- Last four ITR for trend
- FRE sections on governance, related parties, and contingencies (filter with
name=)

Example: comps tickers in one script
import os, requests
BASE = os.environ["APICVM_URL"]
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APICVM_KEY']}"}
COMPS = ["TOTS3", "WEGE3", "RENT3"]
for t in COMPS:
dfp = requests.get(
f"{BASE}/v1/documents",
headers=H,
params={"ticker": t, "type": "DFP", "year": 2024, "perPage": 10},
timeout=30,
).json()["data"]
print(t, "DFP", [d["id"] for d in dfp[:3]])Memo footnote pattern
Cite https://apicvm.dev/v1/documents/{id}/file (with auth in your archive copy) so IC packs stay reproducible after portal UI changes.
Current limitations
- Private targets without CVM filings are out of scope — apicvm covers public company filings in the corpus.
- No EBITDA bridges or purchase-price accounting models — documents only.
- Corpus lag: verify critical IDs before IC memo freeze.
