At Vórtx, supplying fiduciary agent services is based on a solid foundation of compliance with legislation/regulation/ self-regulation, and rigorous internal processes and automation/technology. Our presence is felt from the moment where operations are structured, with our active testing of the contractual and financial model proposed by the deal leader or the structurer. In the post-closing moment, our active monitoring is performed with the help of a proprietary system that creates a unique environment for the interaction of responsible parties vis-à-vis daily obligations. This integration favors efficiency and dynamism, and should lead to predictive alerts to investors.
Our commitment is to always give the investor information and documents that may guide their investment decisions. We continually work to establish with issuers processes that enable the exchange of data and information, mitigating risks and keeping our operations always up to date. We believe that a multidisciplinary and motivated team, efficient systems, and well-defined processes coupled with a strong hands-on culture that frowns upon omission are determining factors of a work developed with excellent quality and precision.
Mortgage Backed Securities (CRI) are fixed income securities issued by Securitization companies that are exempt from income taxes for natural persons, which counts as their main economic benefit. The reference portfolio of real estate assets backing the transaction may have been so qualified based on their nature or destination. The most common examples of reference portfolios qualified as real estate assets based on destination are related to real estate corporate debts such as CCBs or real estate debentures, where the debt was incurred to finance real estate transactions.
CRIs pay interest and principal according to the flow set for the reference principal. A Mortgage Backed Securities must be registered in a central registrar for trading, custody, and settlement. CVM Instruction 414 and Law 9,514/97, as amended, detail the characteristics of this asset.
Agribusiness Backed Certificates (CRA), similar to CRIs, are fixed income securities that are exempt from income taxes for individual investors. CRAs are backed by agribusiness receivables. Receivables in the reference portfolio of a CRA are qualified as agribusiness in based on their nature or destination too. In the latter case, corporate debt incurred to finance agribusiness may be used to originate CRIs.
The most common receivables that compose the reference portfolio of a CRA are CDCA, CPR-F, Distribution Agreements or the supply of agribusiness inputs and products in business transactions between rural producers, cooperative associations and / or third parties in the production, marketing and industrialization chains of products, inputs or machines used in agribusiness activities.

The Agribusiness Credit Rights Certificate (CDCA) is a nominative credit instrument containing a promise to pay cash backed by one or more agreements originating in agribusiness transactions. It is issued exclusively by rural producers, cooperative associations or other legal entities engaged in the marketing, processing or industrialization of products, inputs or machinery related to agricultural activity.
