Connecting Brazilian asset allocators with lucrative global opportunities
Educating fund managers on how to meet the needs of institutional investors in Brazil
Economic and regulatory changes have created opportunities and presented new challenges to Brazil’s institutional investor community. As interest rates come down, they are moving larger portions of their portfolios into equities and alternatives. At the same time, the CVM and CMN have opened new markets and asset classes to Brazilian pensions and fund managers.
Based on this demand for new investments opportunities and need for education, Terrapinn is bringing its most comprehensive asset allocation event to Brasil.
