Brazil CVM Filings for Proxy Advisors
Brazil filings proxy advisor workflows lean on the Formulário de Referência for board, compensation, and related-party narratives. apicvm lists and downloads FRE (and DFP/ITR) over HTTP so researchers can cite document UUIDs. It is not a voting platform, AGM ballot system, or ISS/Glass Lewis clone.
The persona
- Governance analysts preparing Brazil issuer briefings
- Policy teams comparing compensation language across peers
- Engineers automating FRE section archives for review seasons
The problem
| Task | Typical filing |
|---|---|
| Board / independence | FRE |
| Compensation | FRE |
| Related financial context | DFP / ITR |
Portal ZIP dumps lose stable IDs and make peer diffs painful.
Solution flow
Issuer universe → resolve → list FRE (name filters) → download → cite UUIDcurl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICVM_KEY" \
"$APICVM_URL/v1/documents?ticker=PSSA3&type=FRE&year=2024&perPage=50"Related deep-dive: FRE governance sections.
Example: FRE inventory for a slate
import os, requests
BASE = os.environ["APICVM_URL"]
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APICVM_KEY']}"}
docs = requests.get(
f"{BASE}/v1/documents",
headers=H,
params={"ticker": "PSSA3", "type": "FRE", "year": 2024, "perPage": 50},
).json()["data"]
for d in docs:
print(d["id"], d["name"])Current limitations
- Not a source for meeting agendas, vote recommendations, or beneficial ownership registries
- Section filters via
nameare substring matches — validate before quoting - Async extraction required for page-level markdown (Pro)
