Summary

This Hasn't Happened Since 2018, And Could Redefine The Course Of The Brazilian Elections
I maintain a Hold rating on EWZ and other ETFs tracking Brazilian indices, citing unattractive risk-return for long-term investors. Recent gains in EWZ are attributed to global factors like Fed rate cuts, not domestic macroeconomic improvements. Brazil's political landscape shifted as Jair Bolsonaro supports his son for 2026, increasing uncertainty and market volatility.
EWZ: Poised For Gains From BRL Strength
iShares MSCI Brazil ETF remains an attractive play for 2025, driven by BRL appreciation against the USD and appealing valuations. High-interest rates in Brazil and lower interest rates in the U.S. attract foreign capital, supporting inflows into stocks. Brazilian companies should continue to benefit from lower costs on dollar-denominated debt, improving earnings.
EWZ: Why Brazilian Equities Stand Out In The Global Shift To Emerging Markets
I'm adopting a bullish stance on EWZ, supported by FX tailwinds, attractive valuations, and a potential stabilization of the Selic rate, despite ongoing fiscal and political risks. The recent rally in Brazilian equities has been driven more by dollar depreciation and foreign inflows than by local economic progress. EWZ offers efficient exposure to Brazil with a high dividend yield, but has high concentration in a few stocks and above-average volatility.

Overview
This company operates as an investment fund that primarily focuses on investing in the equity market in Brazil. It aims to mirror the performance of its underlying index, which is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index. This index is specifically designed to gauge the performance of large- and mid-capitalization segments of Brazil's equity market. To achieve its investment objective, the fund makes a commitment to invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the index or in investments that have economic characteristics almost identical to those of the index's component securities. It's important to note that the fund is characterized as non-diversified, meaning it may invest a larger portion of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
Products and Services
Given its investment strategy, the fund offers a specific product focus:
- Component Securities Investment: The fund invests a significant part of its assets in the securities that are included in its underlying index. These investments are selected based on their ability to replicate the economic characteristics and performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of Brazil's equity market. This is aimed at investors seeking exposure to Brazilian equities through a strategy that closely follows the market movements of its indexed sectors.
- Economically Identical Investments: Apart from direct investment in component securities, the fund also allocates assets to investments that are economically identical to those securities. This could include derivatives or other financial instruments that mimic the performance of the underlying index's components. This approach is designed to enhance the fund's ability to match the index's performance more closely, providing an alternative avenue for investors who wish to gain similar exposures without directly investing in the component securities.
