This paper aims to vouch the perpetuity of the abnormal performance in the long term, verified in previous studies of organizations listed in the BMF&Ibovespa that had cash infusion of Private Equity and Venture Capital companies (PE/VC), as well as check for behavior change in a year when there is recession in Brazil. The sample includes 70 companies that went public between 2004 to 2008, in which after testing the presence of cumulative abnormal returns, it was observed an expected inverse relationship – verified in previous studies – being carried out a hypothesis test to verify the difference of means. Thus, the results indicate that companies that had the presence of PE/VC funds have significantly worse atypical results that companies who have not had this type of financing, which places this work with a divergent assessment to previous studies in a recession period. Subsequently, through a multiple linear regression with five independent variables, wherein one was the existence or absence of PE/VC, it was evaluated the explanatory factors of companies performance. The regression model corroborates the worse abnormal performance in companies with the presence of funds.
