Novo Mercado and Its Followers: Case Studies in Corporate Governance Reform Maria Helena Santana Melsa Ararat Petra Alexandru B. Burcin Yurtoglu Foreword by Mauro Rodrigues da Cunha Global Corporate Governance Forum Focus 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Global Corporate Governance Forum would like to extend its sincerest thanks to Maria Helena Santana and the BOVESPA for their contributions to, and support for, this publication. The Forum is fortunate to have had the opportunity to document in this publication the “great experiment” of BOVESPA and its members and to recount the initial impact of this pro-active corporate governance leadership experience, both regionally and globally. We are grateful, too, for the efforts of the other contributors to this edition of Focus, Melsa Ararat, Petra Alexandru, B. Burcin Yurtoglu, and Mauro Rodrigues da Cunha. Their analyses helped us to discern the lessons of Novo Mercado and its followers, specifically the stock exchanges in Bucharest and Istanbul. The Forum also thanks Mike Lubrano, formerly IFC Manager of the Investor and Corporate Practice Unit, and now Managing Director, Corporate Governance at Cartica Capital, LLC. Mr. Lubrano dedicated time and effort in reviewing and commenting on the earliest versions of this manuscript. His first-hand experience with the Novo Mercado, and his longstanding corporate governance investment career have both benefited this document, and in turn, the Forum and its readership. Nancy Metzger, senior projects officer at the Forum, worked with the authors, translators, and editor to develop this publication so that its insights were practical, relevant, and compelling. Finally, this publication would not have been possible without the professional diligence and skill of an outstanding editor—James Spellman. We thank him for his meticulous attention to detail, his insightful suggestions and edits, and his general good spirit throughout this year- long project involving so many. ii Novo Mercado and Its Followers: Case Studies in Corporate Governance Reform CONTENTS Acknowledgments .................................................................................................ii About the Authors .................................................................................................v Praise for Novo Mercado ..................................................................................... vii Foreword by Mauro Rodrigues da Cunha, CFA ................................................ix The Novo Mercado by Maria Helena Santana 1.

  • Economic Gains of Realized Volatility in the Brazilian Stock Market
    TEXTO PARA DISCUSSÃO No. 624 Economic gains of realized volatility in the Brazilian stock market Francisco Santos Márcio Garcia Marcelo Medeiros DEPARTAMENTO DE ECONOMIA www.econ.puc-rio.br Economic gains of realized volatility in the Brazilian stock market Abstract This paper evaluates the economic gains associated with following a volatility timing strategy based on a multivariate model of realized volatility. To study this issue we build a high frequency database with the most actively traded Brazilian stocks. Comparing with traditional volatility methods, we find that economic gains associated with realized measures perform well when estimation risk is controlled and increase proportionally to the target return. When expected returns are bootstrapped, however, performance fees are not significant, which is an indication that economic gains of realized volatility are offset by estimation risk. Keywords: Realized volatility, utility, forecasting. JEL Code: G11, G17. 1. Introduction Given the growth of financial markets and the increasing complexity of its securities, volatility models play an essential role to help the task of risk management and investment decisions. Since realization of volatility returns based on daily data is not observable, the traditional approach is to invoke parametric assumptions regarding the evolution of the first and second moments of the returns, which is the idea behind ARCH and stochastic volatility models. Nevertheless, these models fail to capture some stylized facts such as autocorrelation persistence and fat tail of returns. The availability of intraday data opens up the possibility of approximating volatility directly from asset returns. The use of an observable variable, in turn, facilitates the task of dealing with problems that involves a significant number of assets.

  • Leblon Letter 21
    Leblon Letter 21 1st Quarter 2015 www.leblonequities.com.br It is our pleasure to share our 21st Leblon Letter. Once again we hope this channel of communication will be of interest, and succeed in conveying our opinion on important themes affecting our investment decisions. Thank you and regards, Leblon Equities The Quarter The table below shows Leblon Equities Funds’ performance in 1Q15 and since inception (November 28, 2008). Low Visibility... Seldom in the last 20 years has there been so little visibility of Brazil for the medium-term future (two to three years). There have been several crises of confidence, but the present one is very specific and unusual. It is unusual because the political actors involved in the responses to the problems are almost impossible to read: it is one of these moments in which people are much more important than processes or institutions (a parallel with our analyses of companies). The appointment of Joaquim Levy as Finance Minister was in the direction of the predictability that investors so much need to make investment decisions, but Levy now seems to be rapidly becoming an island in the new government team, and the measures being taken to bring Brazil back to a sustainable primary surplus – capable of stabilizing or reducing the public debt (gross and net) over the long term – have been taken with a focus on increases in revenue (taxes), rather than a cut in public spending and privatizations. Compared to other countries Brazil does not have a serious fiscal problem, involving rollover of debt. Although the nominal deficit – and the gross debt – are circumstantially high, we still have a low net debt, and a cost of debt that could fall rapidly in response to simple measures for credibility.

  • O Primeiro Semestre Do Ano Foi Desafiador Para O Fundo
    Investor LetterINVESTOR – 2nd Semester/ LETTER2015 2nd Semester 2015 We are currently undergoing a very particular investment environment in Brazil. The current dynamics of the economy is presenting challenges of different magnitudes to different companies and sectors, and the proper understanding of this dynamic will tend to define the success of investment decisions for the next few years. Even though the deterioration of Brazil's GDP seems to be a consensus in investors’ minds and valuations, as of the second half of 2015 we noticed a new dynamic playing out for Brazilian companies: a substantial deterioration on the credit market, meaning massive challenges for leveraged companies as they approach maturity/amortization of their debts. The increase in spreads charged by banks in such a short time is impressive. We have seen companies that run stable and relatively unleveraged business observing the spreads charged increasing threefold. Spreads increasing from 150 bps to over 450 bps are common. This dynamic, coupled with prospective higher interest for the coming years, has resulted in a complex combination for the companies. The interest rates for Jan/21 jumped from 12.5%, in the first half of 2015, to levels of 15.5% to 16% by year-end. Of course, the curve embeds a series of assumptions/risks and does not necessarily correspond to future reality. Nevertheless, based on simple arithmetic, adding the effects of higher spreads to the prospective higher interest rates, we observe a 600 bps difference in the nominal cost of debt projected for the next years. This change happened in less than 6 months, amidst an environment where most sectors of the economy show deteriorating results.
