Banco Garantia was a Brazilian bank founded in 1971 in Rio de Janeiro by Adolfo Campelo Gentil and Jorge Paulo Lemann. It grew into one of the country’s most prestigious investment banks, even called by Forbes “a Brazilian version of Goldman Sachs.” In June 1998, Credit Suisse acquired Garantia and it has since operated as Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse, as part of Credit Suisse.
