Boosting the Development of Currency and ETF Markets in Brazil

Currency ETF BDRs are securities issued in Brazil and backed by ETF shares issued abroad. They help strengthen the Currency market in Brazil.  

B3 is the only market manager that offers all ETF BDR trading, settlement and custody processes in Brazil. 

For Currency ETF BDRs to be issued, the foreign index fund manager must sign a contract in Brazil with a depositary institution responsible for issuing the BDR. The depositary institution, in turn, must maintain an account with a custodian abroad where the securities used as collateral remain deposited and blocked. 

 

The Currency ETF BDR structure is the same as any ETF BDR and seeks to reflect the variations and profitability before fees and expenses of currency indices, whose theoretical portfolios are mainly composed of FX assets from different countries. 

B3 offers the environment for issuing and redeeming shares in the primary market according to the rules defined by the depositary institution. Furthermore, Currency ETF BDRs are traded in the secondary market with T+2 settlement according to international standards via multilateral netting. 

Currency ETF BDRs are traded on the PUMA Trade System, a trading platform that brings together several functionalities and unmatched risk management and operational excellence to trade safely.

Launched in August in partnership with key market managers, the ETF.com.vc portal brings content, tools and functions that provide investors with up-to-date information about ETFs, while promoting market knowledge and sustainable development. We welcome companies interested in participating in this project. Learn how to be a part.
