Brazil's rapid economic growth and its associated financial innovation have generated a swathe of new assets both financial – derivatives, asset-backed securities – and real – infrastructure, commodities, bio-fuel and agribusiness. This in turn is supporting the growth of in number and type of domestic investors including the rapid growth of local hedge funds and private equity investment as well as the increased participation of the full array of international investors.

The 6th Brazil Investment Forum will examine and explore the key question of the origins, pace and direction of Brazilian economic growth and financial innovations. It will guide investors on how they can most efficiently benefit from these developments and issuers on how they can most effectively utilize the products and capital mobilized by and attracted to outperforming and/or less traditional assets, while also examining the micro-level developments beyond the core theme, including:

  • Strategies for extracting outperformance from assets in sectors such as agribusiness, oil, metals, and infrastructure
  • The development of securitization and the opportunities it presents for issuers and for investors
  • Recent developments in private equity strategies, investment and regulation in Brazil
