Summary

  • SPX Capital is working on a turnaround after weak fund performance triggered a dispute among partners over how to restructure one of Brazil’s largest hedge-fund firms.
  • Rogerio Xavier, who built SPX over roughly 20 years, said reports of a coup to remove him were false and denied any physical confrontation during the talks.
  • The effort centers on stabilizing suddenly faltering returns while containing internal tensions that have left the Brazil hedge fund publicly embattled.
  • The episode marks a sharp test for a firm that spent two decades becoming one of the country’s most influential money managers.
