This is a descriptive, quantitative study that used as a database information from Equity Investment Funds (EIF) and records of 49 companies supported by Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) in Brazil, between the years 2000 and 2020, which carried out an IPO and were fully divested. The results show that 2.7 years is the approximate time for total divestment - close to the 3 years of the US market, in addition to the fact that when the shares held by the PE/VC Funds were fully divested, the prices of the shares were higher than the prices at the IPO and, finally, that the exits resulted in positive abnormal returns for investors. Therefore, this study brings contributions to society and to the Applied Social Sciences, as it is innovative in measuring the Market Timing of divestment in the PE/VC industry in Brazil, as well as filling a gap in the internal literature and perhaps assisting researchers interested in further exploring this subject.
