Ag\u00eancia Brasil*<\/STRONG><\/P> Rio de Janeiro \u2013 The share of natural people investing in the Brazilian stock market increased from 9.7% in 1994 to 24.6% last year. In the current year, until November 6th, considering the daily volume of stock purchases and sales volume in the S\u00e3o Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), natural people investors represent 23.1% of the total.<\/P> Data disclosed by the Bovespa show that 310,625 individual investors have bought shares, totalling 84.59 billion reais (US$ 47.6 billion). A large share of individual investors is in the cities of S\u00e3o Paulo (48.22% of the total) and Rio de Janeiro (27.48%).<\/P> Men are the majority (77.94%) among the investors, whereas women account for only 22.06%. However, the trend is for the female participation in the stock market to increase. In 2002, women had a share of just 17.63%.<\/P> One of those investors is journalist Maira de Figueiredo Cunha da Costa, who decided two years ago to risk "a little cash" in the stock fund of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). The Bovespa Brazil Index Papers ("Pap\u00e9is \u00cdndice Brasil Bovespa – PIBB) investment fund is comprised of bonds of the 50 most traded companies on Bovespa. The first version of the fund was launched in 2004, and the second in 2005.<\/P> The fund used to be negotiated in applications of a minimum of 300 reais (US$ 169) for natural people. The investors would also have a repurchase guarantee from the BNDES one year after the application, for disbursements of up to 25,000 reais (US$ 14,000). To Maira da Costa, the experience was "wonderful", as it earned her an appreciation of more than 70% in the price of the stock purchased. "I wish I had invested more."<\/P> The future prospect of the launch of a new PIBB by the BNDES makes Maira da Costa enthused. "I will invest the maximum amount allowed, and the maximum amount that I am able to invest. I do not have much money to invest, but I would even be willing to assume a higher risk and move away from the more conservative positions, should a new fund be launched," she claimed.<\/P> *Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/STRONG><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The number of natural people investing in the S\u00e3o Paulo Stock Exchange was 9.7% in 1994, and reached 23.1% this year.
