What are ETF BDRs?

ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are investment funds whose portfolios follow a market index. Their shares are traded on the stock exchange, similarly to shares and real estate funds.

BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) are asset receipts issued abroad but traded on B3. Thus, the BDRs of ETFs allow Brazilian investors to access funds listed on foreign exchanges without having to send money out of the country.

Conclusion

With the launch of the new ETF BDRs, BlackRock is expanding the diversification possibilities for Brazilian investors, offering access to a wide range of international assets. The initiative facilitates the construction of a global portfolio directly through B3, promoting greater convenience and efficiency for local investors.
