Nexx Focus Capital and the Vision of Michael Harrison & Caio de Freitas Cruz: Transforming Block Trading in Latin America

Published

on

In the rapidly evolving world of finance and investment, few companies have managed to blend innovation, foresight, and regional expertise as effectively as Nexx Focus Capital. Founded by Michael Harrison and Caio de Freitas Cruz, Nexx Focus Capital, along with its subsidiaries under the Nexx brand—Nexx Global Ventures LTDA, Nexx Vision Consulting LTDA, Nexx Synergy Holding LTDA, and Nexx Prime Solutions LTDA—has quickly become a pivotal player in the Latin American financial services landscape, particularly in the field of block trading (Negociação em bloco).

A New Era in Latin American Finance

The financial landscape in Latin America has traditionally been dominated by large institutions, often rigid in structure and slow to adopt modern technologies. Recognizing a significant gap in this ecosystem, Harrison and Cruz set out to create a firm that could act swiftly, operate efficiently, and deploy cutting-edge solutions for high-value institutional investors. Thus, Nexx Focus Capital was born.

From its inception, the firm’s goal has been clear: to revolutionize block trading in the region by offering a robust, transparent, and scalable infrastructure that facilitates large-volume trades while maintaining market integrity and confidentiality.

What is Block Trading?

Before delving deeper into the operations of Nexx Focus Capital, it is essential to understand the nature of its primary product—block trading. Also referred to as Negociação em bloco in Portuguese, block trading involves the execution of large orders of securities (usually stocks or bonds) that are arranged privately and outside of open markets to reduce market impact. These transactions are generally conducted by institutional investors, such as hedge funds, pension funds, or asset managers.

Traditional exchanges are often ill-equipped to handle these large orders without causing significant price shifts. This is where companies like Nexx Focus Capital step in, providing the infrastructure and confidentiality needed for seamless execution.

The Nexx Ecosystem: A Strategic Network of Subsidiaries

Under the leadership of Harrison and Cruz, Nexx Focus Capital doesn’t operate in isolation. Instead, it forms the core of a well-integrated financial ecosystem supported by various specialized subsidiaries:

Nexx Global Ventures LTDA: Focuses on international deal flow, investment partnerships, and expansion into global markets.

Nexx Vision Consulting LTDA: Offers high-level financial consulting services, supporting clients with regulatory strategy, risk assessment, and trade optimization.

Nexx Synergy Holding LTDA: Acts as a holding structure facilitating synergy between the different business verticals, enabling agile decision-making and financial coordination.

Nexx Prime Solutions LTDA: Provides liquidity management, technology solutions, and algorithmic support tailored to block trades.

This interconnected structure allows the Nexx Group to remain lean yet dynamic, with each arm focusing on its strength while contributing to the overall vision.

The Founders: Michael Harrison and Caio de Freitas Cruz

The story of Nexx Focus Capital is inseparable from the journeys of its founders.

Michael Harrison, a seasoned finance professional with a background in global markets, brought with him a wealth of experience from leading trading desks in Europe and North America. Known for his sharp analytical mind and strategic acumen, Harrison saw in Latin America not just an emerging market—but a fertile ground for innovation. His vision was to bring Wall Street efficiency to São Paulo, Lima, and Bogotá.

Caio de Freitas Cruz, on the other hand, is a native Brazilian with deep-rooted knowledge of regional finance and politics. With a background in legal advisory and corporate governance, Cruz played a critical role in aligning Nexx’s operations with local regulatory requirements. His ability to bridge international ambition with local sensibilities has been instrumental in Nexx’s rapid acceptance among institutional clients.

Together, Harrison and Cruz embody the dual ethos of Nexx: global perspective with local execution.

Technology at the Core

Nexx Focus Capital is more than just a financial intermediary—it is a technology-driven solutions provider. One of its major value propositions is the use of proprietary platforms for secure and rapid execution of block trades. These platforms incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) to predict optimal trade windows, blockchain for transparent settlement trails, and machine learning for ongoing risk management.

This tech-first approach has not only improved efficiency but also instilled trust among clients who value security and precision. In an industry where milliseconds can make millions, Nexx’s technological edge is a key differentiator.

Regulatory Excellence and Compliance

Operating in multiple jurisdictions across Latin America requires rigorous compliance frameworks. Nexx Focus Capital and its affiliates have prioritized regulatory alignment from day one. Through Nexx Vision Consulting LTDA, the firm maintains a dedicated regulatory affairs team that monitors local laws and maintains relationships with financial authorities such as the CVM (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) in Brazil.

Michael Harrison once remarked in an industry panel: “In emerging markets, trust is currency. You earn it through transparency, and you keep it through compliance.” This mantra has become a cornerstone of Nexx’s operating model.

A Focus on ESG and Ethical Investing

Both Harrison and Cruz are proponents of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values in finance. Nexx Focus Capital has developed ESG-aligned trading strategies that prioritize companies with sustainable practices and ethical governance. In partnership with Nexx Synergy Holding LTDA, they also advise regional governments and institutions on sustainable capital deployment.

Their belief is simple: “Future wealth must be built responsibly.”

Expanding Horizons: Future Plans

Looking ahead, Nexx Focus Capital is set to expand beyond Latin America. Harrison and Cruz are in talks with partners in Asia and the Middle East, aiming to replicate their successful model in these emerging financial hotspots. Meanwhile, Nexx Global Ventures LTDA is actively scouting fintech acquisition targets in Europe to enhance their technology stack.

Additionally, the firm is developing a decentralized trading platform aimed at tokenized assets, opening the door for blockchain-based securities trading—a revolutionary concept in the region.

Another major initiative on the horizon is the launch of the Nexx Institutional Exchange (NIX), a private exchange tailored for institutional investors seeking a secure environment for off-market transactions. If successful, NIX could become the first platform of its kind in Latin America.

Challenges and Resilience

Like any disruptive firm, Nexx Focus Capital has faced its share of skepticism. Traditional banks initially viewed its model as a threat. Local regulators were cautious. However, the founders’ transparent dialogue, coupled with robust compliance, gradually shifted perceptions. By 2024, Nexx had become a preferred trading partner for several leading pension funds and asset managers across Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.

Their resilience during macroeconomic turbulence—such as rising interest rates and currency volatility—further proved the robustness of their model. The company’s ability to navigate these conditions while maintaining liquidity and profitability is a testament to its strategic depth.

The Human Element

Despite being a tech-forward firm, the heart of Nexx Focus Capital remains human. With over 120 employees across four countries, the Nexx family is diverse, multilingual, and mission-driven. The company invests heavily in employee development, offering training in AI, compliance, and sustainable investing.

Harrison believes in fostering “entrepreneurial thinking at every desk,” while Cruz promotes “community impact over corporate posturing.” Their leadership style is participatory, with weekly town halls and open-door policies.

Conclusion: A New Financial Vanguard

In just a few years, Nexx Focus Capital has become more than a financial firm—it is a movement. Guided by the strategic brilliance of Michael Harrison and the regional mastery of Caio de Freitas Cruz, it stands at the intersection of innovation, ethics, and execution.

As they look to expand into global markets and develop new technologies for the institutional investment space, Nexx remains committed to its core belief: that finance should be a force for progress—not just profit.

In the world of block trading, few names are as respected or as future-focused as Nexx Focus Capital.

Published

on

Australia, 18th Jul 2025, JC Dental Como, a respected dental clinic based in the Como and Manning areas, has expanded its services to include specialised dental care for children and teenagers up to 17 years of age. Recognised for its focus on clinical excellence and patient comfort, the clinic now offers trusted kids’ dentistry in a welcoming and supportive environment designed to encourage positive early dental experiences.

Located at Suite 3/2 Downey Drive, Como, JC Dental provides a full suite of services including general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, braces & clear aligner treatment, and emergency dental care. The introduction of dedicated dental care for children reflects the clinic’s commitment to supporting oral health across all stages of life.

A notable strength of JC Dental Como is its ability to provide culturally sensitive care, particularly to Chinese-speaking families. The clinic offers services in both Mandarin and Cantonese, enabling clearer communication and enhanced trust between clinicians and patients.

Dr Jia Jing Teh, spokesperson for JC Dental Como, commented on the service expansion, “For many children, attending a dental appointment can feel unfamiliar or intimidating. The focus at JC Dental Como is to create a warm and calming environment where young patients feel secure and supported. Providing care in Mandarin or Cantonese helps ensure Chinese-speaking families feel informed and reassured throughout the process.”

The clinic’s child-focused dental services include routine check-ups, preventative care such as fluoride treatments and fissure sealants, as well as early intervention for developmental concerns. Educational support is also a priority, with dental professionals offering advice on proper brushing and flossing techniques, and the role of a balanced diet in maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

JC Dental Como also participates in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), a Medicare-funded programme providing eligible children with access to a range of essential dental services. These include examinations, cleans, fillings, and other preventative treatments. Families are encouraged to check their eligibility and utilise this programme to support their children’s oral health.

Dr Teh further emphasised the importance of a strong foundation in oral care, “Early experiences at the dentist play a major role in shaping long-term attitudes towards oral health. The aim is to ensure every appointment is as relaxed and positive as possible. This helps young patients build familiarity with dental care and reduces the risk of future dental anxiety. For families who speak Mandarin or Cantonese, the ability to communicate directly in their preferred language creates a more comfortable and transparent experience.”

JC Dental Como continues to prioritise comfort and quality through modern technologies and evidence-based techniques tailored for younger patients. The clinic’s child-friendly environment is designed to make each visit pleasant and stress-free, with an emphasis on gentle and effective care.

Plans are underway to develop the clinic’s children’s services further and deepen its ties with the Manning community, “Ongoing investment in children’s dental care remains a priority,” added Dr Teh. “This includes continuous enhancement of clinical services, cultural responsiveness, and accessibility for all families, especially those from Chinese-speaking backgrounds. The long-term goal is to ensure every child has access to high-quality, respectful dental care.”

JC Dental Como’s expansion of services reinforces its position as a trusted provider of family-focused dentistry. With a strong emphasis on prevention, education, and inclusivity, the clinic aims to contribute to the lifelong oral health of children across the local community.
