Is now the time to invest in Brazil, one of the world's largest developing economies? Investors who were initially scared off by the election of the leftist Lula to the presidency in 2002 are now flocking to Brazil.

Beware of US Investors written by Guest,

Don't let too many Americans invest in Brazil because then they will start trying to take over and run the entire country. Americans will never strike a deal if they can't come out the winner and the other party the loser. Americans do NOT play fair.

Hi Mr. Thomas, just saw your w-mail.
Let me pass you some hints, but please notice that I'm not a professional investor, nor work on financial markets, so do not take these hints as a financial advice.
Pls notice that most of international banks have also operation in Brazil, mainly in S. Paulo city and Rio de Janeiro. Some of them: HSBC, ABN Amro Bank, Citibank, and so on. Also there are the biggest Brazilian banks which have been evaluated by international rating companies like Moodys and others. I would say that Bradesco (1st in assets), Itau (2nd in assets) and Unibanco would be also good names to start.
All of them have internet sites that you can get some information for international investors.
The best rate you could get should be when you buy Brazilian Treasury notes directly, as a foreign investors, they have a high yeld (14% gross per year in Real terms) and you would not pay income tax over investment.
Another way should be invest in one of the banks foreign funds, which have a smaller yeld but are easier to handle. That's it. Please notice that I'm a small investor and I may recommend you look for further information on banks. Have a nice and good luck !
