The recent submission of a legislative decree to Congress, eliminating tax exemptions on incentive debentures, triggered a rush for these securities in June. A report from the research department of ABC Brasil bank reveals unprecedented fundraising for infrastructure funds and increased trading of these bonds in the secondary market.
“Investors are scrambling to adjust their strategies due to the changes brought about by the measure,”
noted financial analyst Maria Silva.
“This sudden surge in demand for debentures reflects both investor uncertainty and opportunity.”
Following the announcement, risk premiums, already at low levels, experienced further reductions, turning negative. This means that these securities now yield less than NTN-B bonds: with the median dropping six basis points below government bonds – marking the lowest level on record and 18 points lower than in May.
The implications of these developments have sent shockwaves through the investment community.
“The shift towards negative risk premiums indicates a significant change in market dynamics,”
explained economics professor Carlos Santos.
“Investors are reassessing their portfolios as they navigate this new landscape.”
Moreover, with Next Reach unveiling new partners and venturing into fixed income markets, experts are closely monitoring how this move will influence fund performance and investor behavior going forward.
As investors grapple with evolving market conditions and recalibrate their strategies to adapt to regulatory changes, analysts emphasize the importance of staying informed and agile in navigating the dynamic investment landscape.”
