  • 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.

    Faculty & Research Working Paper Bi-Regional Private Sector Networks: Harnessing the Potential of the Private Sector in European Union and Latin America and Caribbean _______________ Lourdes CASANOVA 2006/61/ST BI-REGIONAL PRIVATE SECTOR NETWORKS 1 Harnessing the Potential of the Private Sector in European Union and Latin America and Caribbean By Lourdes Casanova* March 2006 * Lecturer in Comparative Management, Strategy Department, INSEAD, Boulevard de Constance, 77305 Fontainebleau Cedex, France, [email protected] A working paper in the INSEAD Working Paper Series is intended as a means whereby a faculty researcher's thoughts and findings may be communicated to interested readers. The paper should be considered preliminary in nature and may require revision. Printed at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France. Kindly do not reproduce or circulate without permission. 1 The funding of the Inter American Development Bank is gratefully acknowledged. 1. Introduction There is a long history of successful private partnerships between members of the European Union and countries in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) regions. Starting from the colonial era, private firms have exploited the mutual commercial synergies of these two regions. These economic bonds were strengthened and facilitated by close cooperation on the social and political arenas. For example, many of the leaders of the independence movements in Latin America went to France to study the principles of the French revolution. There have also been significant migrations of populations in both directions over the last centuries. Latin American Napoleon Civic Code is more familiar to European firms than the British Common Law system followed in US and many parts of Asia.
