Wealth in the Brazil: Sizing the Market Opportunity - New Study Released

It is a torrid time for the Brazilian wealth market. The country is in the depths of an enduring economic recession; with no immediate end in sight growth in the Brazilian wealth market is set to slow noticeably. Underlying this is deceleration in growth of the retail savings and investments market; equities in particular have plummeted thanks to the ongoing poor performances of the Bovespa since 2013. With such uncertainty, it is no surprise that local HNW individuals choose to hold almost 20% of their portfolio overseas. Yet Brazil is tightening up on offshore holdings, with individuals now required to report foreign assets and wealth over $100,000 to the Brazilian central bank.
