What should I consider before investing abroad?

First, it is necessary to identify your investor profile and have an account with a brokerage firm.  The investment of money must be in line with your objectives and expected return periods.

Where can I invest?

COE: or Certification of Structured Operations that combine fixed income with variable income;

BDRs: is the acronym for Brazilian Depositary Receipts and are certified bonds that represent shares issued by companies in other countries and traded in Brazil.

ETFs: Exchange Traded Funds, this type of investment replicates market indexes.

Foreign exchange and investment abroad

Monitoring the dollar exchange rate is fundamental to your investment process abroad; the increase in the dollar value tends to increase the profitability of your investment, while the fall will cause a decrease in its yield.
