Brazilian equities were volatile in the twelve months to 30th April 2018, with the MSCI Brazil 10/40 Index (the ‘Index’) return of 11.1% GBP disguising larger intra-period swings.

Allegations of corruption against President Michel Temer early in the reporting period eroded investor confidence sparking a significant market correction. The market subsequently recovered some of its previous strength as macro data improved on the back of the tangible progress being made with the reform agenda.

The end of 2017 saw uncertainty amongst investors as to the direction of much needed pension reform, despite earlier progress. This led to a decline in the market, despite a further interest rate cut by the Brazilian Central Bank in December, down to a record low of 7%.

Against this backdrop, the Company’s net asset value and share price rose (4.1% and 4.3% respectively) during the review period, but lagged the benchmark Index, MSCI Brazil 10/40.

ConclusionJPMorgan Brazil Investment Trust plc as of 31st July 2018

Although mixed recent macro trends, lower than expected economic recovery, yet lower inflation and interest rates, we continue to believe that the primary drivers of the market this year will be the gradual recovery of the Brazilian economy and positive election outcome. This will give the consumer the needed confidence to boost the recovery alongside increased investment from corporates.

As in many elections in Brazil, market volatility may offer opportunities to add to quality names at attractive valuations.

Our portfolio continues to focus on long-standing investments in high-quality companies, as well as some cyclical stocks positioned for strength in the commodities sector and a recovery in the local economy.
