BTG Pactual’s presence in the United States dates to 2009, when it began offering brokerage, investment banking, and wealth management services through its broker-dealer subsidiary, BTG Pactual US Capital, LLC. BTG has also expanded its U.S. platform to include asset management and investment advisory services through its registered investment advisor subsidiaries: BTG Pactual Asset Management US, LLC, and BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, LLC.
In 2025, BTG further expanded its global banking footprint into the United States by launching traditional banking products and services, such as deposit accounts (checking and savings accounts), and lending products (such as mortgages, personal loans, and commercial real estate loans).
With the establishment of a U.S. banking presence, BTG aims to deliver a comprehensive suite of banking and investment products and services. BTG also seeks to elevate client’s experience, upholding an institutional standard of excellence across its offices in New York, Miami, Stamford, and Atlanta while becoming a trusted partner to support clients in meeting their full range of financial needs.
