We are proud to introduce the COUTINHO-ROCKEFELLER family - by Sofia Georgiou
Thanks to TNOCI Member. Ms. Marta Júlio, from Portugal, who facilitated the meeting where we were introduced to COUTINHO-ROCKEFELLER family.
It was an honour to connect with Mr. Francisco Pimenta de Castro, CEO of Rockefeller Consulting, and co-founder Dr. António Coutinho Rockefeller in person with his lovely son Mr. António Pereira Coutinho (Rockefeller Jr).
About Coutinho Rockefeller Holdings.
The Brochado and Pereira Coutinho families have for many generations over the centuries created value and financial wealth, while contributing to environmental prosperity and people's health, always with a deep focus in philanthropy.
The family that now runs the institution had a significant influence in the XVI century when it first established itself. Employing a business model that today we can compare to the current “consortium” joining influential families from all over the world and outside the standard market system.
Natural resources and commodities, trading on a global scale were always the main core businesses of these families. They founded their consortium in 1536, and have since managed their wealth through their descendants in many different sectors and countries, assuming functions in the political structure of international economies.
During the XIX century, the golden age, some believed that the family had one of the largest private fortunes in the world, as well as the most secure credit lines available in the financial sector, which it still remains today. Shared among hundreds of descendants, only a few of which of the main families were carefully chosen in a model of the dynastic type, and always with a lot of discretion, creating business models on an off-market basis.
The best known consortium "Standard Gold" was founded in 1536 by the Pereira Coutinho families (at the time Governors of the State of Bahia) also their descendants, and by the Marquis of Minas and Governor of Brazil (Souza family, current Pimenta de Castro). With the help of several agreements established between Portugal and England, which began in 1642 they initiated the main pillars so that Europe, and particularly England, could accumulate gold reserves, which made the English banking system the main financial centre. This made it possible to continue with the financing of the English Industrial Revolution globally, since in that period the Portuguese gold reserves were being built and traded to Europe from Brazil and the main African countries.
The second important milestone occurs in the XIX century (consortium “C Rockefeller Holdings” materialised in 1875) regarding the partnership between families connected to the banking system and Portuguese ancestry like “Brochado” and John Rockefeller (a family of merchants and later industrialists of importance in the global panorama regarding the future petrochemical industry), where the alliance was known as “The Golden Triangle“.
In the financial sector, Coutinho Rockefeller Holdings influenced Europe as one of the most important financial institutions in Portugal (since 1875) when John Rockefeller collaborated with the Brochado and Pereira Coutinho families in Portugal, where they founded a Bank. This bank, "Banco Lisboa & Açores", was created in 1875 by the Brochado family and a group of Lisbon and Azorean financiers, including the then Viscount of Carregoso, the Lima Mayer family, the Bensaúde family, the then Viscount of Olivais, the Pinto Leite family, Pereira Coutinho family, among others
The first president and founder was José Brochado, and the Brochado and Pereira Coutinho family maintained a strategic alliance with the Rockefeller family, which allowed a competitive advantage to the remaining Iberian bankers and, a greater proximity to Portuguese investments and emigrants residing in the American continent. The Bensaúde family was an important link between the Bank and the Azores, and as a result of the family's influential shareholder structure, the bank was a powerful institution that even provided credit instruments to the Portuguese state, contributing to help in the promotion and development of the country. The Bank integrated the participation of other institutions, including “Banco Madeira” and later the participation of Ferreira da Silva family CUF - Alfredo Ferreira da Silva (current Mello family) in “Banco Totta - Aliança” and started to have the denomination "Banco Totta & Açores".
Subsequently, the institution integrated the participation of the Botín family, shareholders of "Banco Santander", through the "acquisition" of the stake held by the Champalimaud family in the bank, and the current name "Banco Santander Totta" was adopted commercially after it. After two world wars, Rockefeller Holdings continues to be a financial platform in Europe and all over the world, with interests in various sectors of activity.
The Brochado and Pereira Coutinho family maintained their links with several members of strategic business sectors in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, among them Gulbenkian in the oil sector, whose his Foundation is also based in Lisbon, Portugal.
In the 1980s David Rockefeller was the last direct member of the Rockefeller branch that maintained his connection with Portugal, and he was the last direct member since the founding of the consortium started by John Rockefeller in 1875, which passed on to the Pimenta de Castro family (descendants of the Governor of Brazil in the XVI century, and Co-founders of the Standard Gold). Dr António Coutinho is currently CEO & Chairman of Coutinho Rockefeller Holdings.
