Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Brazilian Assets Monitor compare the performance of different asset classes?

The Brazilian Assets Monitor compares the normalized performance of key Brazilian asset classes, including equities represented by the Ibovespa, fixed income indices like IDKA Pre 3A and IMA-B 5+, and the US dollar through USDBRL. This comparison uses a common selected start date to provide a clear view of total performance across these benchmarks.
