Financial Experts Promote Investments in Brazil

Now is the time to make an investment in Brazil, as the country's shifting demographic increasing national economic participation, and wealth continues to rise.

At least, this is the view of financial expert Dean Newman head of emerging markets equities at Invesco Perpetual, a UK fund which has researched investments in Brazil.

Favourable Demography Promotes Investment in Brazil

In an interview with Interactive Investor, Newman praised Brazil's economic potential, claiming that a sizeable proportion of the country's 190m people are entering the most ‘economically active period of their life'. Two-thirds of Brazilians – 130m people – are of working age (between 15-64), and the average age is as low as 29.

Those wishing to make an investment in Brazil will be glad to hear that Newman praised the country's long-term prospects, predicting that the maturing population would push pension reforms, making Brazil even more attractive: ‘in our view, the long-term investment appeal of Brazil will be enhanced by this favourable move in the country's demographics.'

Brazilian Property Investment

Overseas investors wishing to take advantage of Brazil's opportunities should look at property. The domestic market as Brazil's booming economic growth has propelled seven million people into the middle class in recent years, leading to a housing deficit of around seven million properties.

Furthermore, the Brazilian mortgage market has only recently developed, meaning that home financing is widely-available but not dogged by the same issues of over-stretching and under-funding currently affecting much of Europe and the USA.

Overseas investors enjoy the same rights as their Brazilian counterparts, including the protection of a robust legal system and a favourable tax regime. These advantages ensures that investors can take advantage of all the growth benefits of a rapidly-developing country without political, environmentalor ethical concerns.

In particular, there are great bargains in previously undervalued regions such as Bahia, in the north-east, where land is relatively cheap and widely-available – at least at the moment.
