RGS Partners acted as exclusive financial adviser to Matrix on the sale of 37,5% of its shares to DufEnergy (DXT Commodities), the energy trading subsidiary of Duferco. Given its size and importance in the world energy market, DufEnergy’s entrance in Brazil was considered a breakpoint in the Brazilian energy trading market.
