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, specifi cally 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 fi rst-hand experience with the Novo Mercado, and his longstanding corporate governance investment career have both benefi ted this document, and in turn, the Forum and its readership. Nancy Metzger, senior projects offi cer 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.

  • 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.
