Sao-Paulo based Galapagos Capital is planning to expand its asset management business to the US next year, according to chief investment officer Sergio Zanini.

The company, which has about $2.8 billion under management, will hire four portfolio managers and two research strategists to be based in Miami for a new macro fund focused on emerging markets and registered in the US, said Zanini, who oversees Galapagos’ liquid strategies for the asset management arm.
