Posted at 14/3/2008 09:45 by dasv Interestingly Lyxor's Bovespa tracker, LBRU also uses a single MM, and the same one as IBZL: "DGOD".LBRU looks if anything less liquid and less closely correlated with the Bovespa. |
Posted at 11/2/2008 14:00 by m4ybe denominated in pounds I think, so yes you get the gains or losses in the Brazil index multiplied by the gains or losses in the Brazil Real relative to the pound, but you can also multiply the UK market's opinion to both since IBZL trades much of the day when Brazil is closed.EWZ in USA I think is a dollar version of Brazil as a comparison. LBRZ is another Brazil ETF tracker, from SocGen. given the state of world markets I'm not inclined to buy anything near all time highs, as with Brazil, but am no wise guru because I never made any money from Brazil. Am dabbling at India and Turkey at bigger discounts to the norm than Brazil, but both going in the wrong direction for now. |
Posted at 11/2/2008 11:12 by dr know Could you tell me how currency exchange rates will affect the IBZL ETF ? I believe it's denominated in USD so if the index goes up 10%, the Real gains 10% against the USD, and USD gains 10% against GBP, then the net effect is 30% gain in GBP terms. Is this right ? |
Posted at 29/1/2008 08:43 by teapreacher Here's a link to the Jim Slater presentation(on 11 Dec) referred to a few posts ago where he talks about how he regards Brazil and why he owns £2 million worth of IBZL shares... |
Posted at 13/1/2008 03:18 by m4ybe dasv,Thailand. I wouldn't bother with the stockmarket here though, there are lots of things keeping development relatively slow, mainly because they do not want to lose their culture (they are successfully stubborn and avoided western colonisation). It is moving even faster elsewhere. They love money but they love being happy even more, like Bhutan! My main hope is for FXC to continue (Hong Kong China H shares) and have some IBZL too, and IFFF which is Asia Pacific ex-Japan, but it's mostly Hong Kong so may as well stay with FXC. I heard Thailand has been more interested in exporting to Africa than America, they have let their currency follow the Euro very closely instead of the dollar. Even over the border in Burma the official visa fee is in dollars but even there they understand what is going on and make all kinds of excuses to avoid taking it, and wanting appreciating money in Thai baht instead! The GDP of Asia as a whole is a big proportion of the World (even the majority I think I heard?) and rising much faster than any recessions in the west are going down. It was started by exporting to the west, but now it feeds on itself, there is a chain reaction of positive feedback where the reason is now more of people realising what they can do and working harder and shopping more than exporting to the west. On the shopping front 4 new supermarkets have been built last year in easy reach of where we live, but the old ones are fuller than ever before. I shop at Tesco by the way out here. |
Posted at 12/1/2008 14:38 by m4ybe Taking China from 2000 instead of 2005 gives a very different picture - it has risen just exactly the same % as Brazil (though both in local currencies). Looks like a nice horizontal correction on IBZL, expecting it to move up soon as the west keeps struggling (look at the graph of Brazil since 1990s, such a momentum, I wouldn't like to bet on when that might come to an end.Going to move most investments to emerging markets as fast as I can dare, the world is coming together, I live in Asia surrounded by hundreds of miles of hill tribes, and they are opening big supermarkets in the lowlands all over the place, hardly the picture of retail in UK. |
Posted at 12/1/2008 10:42 by dasv I like emerging markets but I don't like the look of China or India right now - so instead of TEM I thinking of MLLA or IBZL plus a bit of Russia/Eastern Europe with a well managed fund.Here's MoneyWeek talking up Brazil a few months back:- |
Posted at 03/1/2008 22:35 by abundance99 Thanks to sheeneqa who posted this on AIGA. Been in IBZL but out of shares completely for the moment - sticking with commodities.Daily Telegraph Business Profile on James (Jim) Slater [78] "It is ironic that it should have been his friend Jimmy Goldsmith who quipped that when you see a bandwagon it's too late, because Slater is the bandwagon-rider par excellence. He knows as well as any investor when to hop onto a wave and, more importantly, when to jump off again. In the eight years since we had met to wind up the investment newsletter we then published - Nothing left to recommend - Slater has advanced to 78 but time has been kind to him. Tall, thin, always immaculately dressed, he does not look his age. Slater is on a roll. He's making more money than at any time since the heyday of Slater Walker in the early 1970s, lurching enthusiastically from one big idea to the next. "I like new things. I like it when my learning curve is high, when I'm learning about a new business." In the last 10 years, Slater has ridden every wave going, moving on just as everyone else catches up. At the peak of the tech boom he launched Internet Indirect, one of a string of so-called incubators that were little more than a pile of cash and a dream of easy money. With the Slater name attached, early investors (including me, I should mention) saw their stock rise from 5p to 50p on the first day of dealings. It is hardly surprising that, shortly afterwards, Slater called the top of the market. Next onto his radar was biotech. Bioprojects International, now called Vialogy, marked Slater's return to the boardroom after the collapse of Slater Walker, the investment company he set up with Conservative politician Peter Walker and which was swept away by the mid-1970s secondary banking crisis. But the investment that has put Slater back on the financial map has been Galahad Gold, formed four years ago as the commodities boom got going and now in the process of handing back £175m to its shareholders, 10pc of which is heading Slater's way. In contrast to the bursting of the tech bubble, Slater does not think the metals story is played out but he says "the low hanging fruit has been picked. When we started we were lonely buying into marginal resources companies. But now metals are all the rage. I don't want to be doing what everyone else is doing." "Analysts were miles behind the curve on the metals supercycle" Slater remarks. "And they always will be because they can't embrace a new paradigm". Already, however, the restless Slater has moved on. When I caught up with him, he had just come off stage at a forum organised by commodities website Minesite. A packed audience had heard about his latest passion - agricultural commodities in general and Brazil in particular . It's a subject about which Slater happily admits he knew little until recently. But that's never worried him. "I knew nothing about biotech. As for gold and metals, I really knew nothing at all. I knew nothing about agriculture but I promise you I will get very knowledgeable indeed." Even before the launch of his new business, Agra Firma, he has sunk £2m into an exchange traded fund tracking Brazil's Bovespa index. And he furnished his audience with a string of reasons why he's practically given up on British stock market investments in favour of the Latin American country: "I won't have many British shares. I like a tailwind. It would have to be really exceptional." "Brazil has the best water table in the world. It's self-sufficient in energy. It has masses of prime agricultural land and it's the largest exporter of agricultural products. Exports to China have doubled over five years. There's vast mineral wealth, a trade surplus of $40m a year, a strong currency, a flourishing middle class, no sub-prime." When Jim gets into his stride, little can stop him. "I agree with Warren Buffett that diversification is really just di-worse-ification. I really like Brazil a lot". Has he been there? "Oh, very briefly a long time ago, when I worked for Leyland. But that's not the point. I never went to see any of Galahad's mines. Do you know, we never mined one single ounce of gold. Not one." Listening to Slater's enthusiasm, even as he approaches 80, provides a glimpse of the laser-focus he employed to tear a swathe through the sleepy, complacent and inefficient post-war business scene of 1960s Britain. The appearance of Slater on a share register must have been a terrifying sight to a company's board. Given his influence on the City and corporate Britain generally, it's amazing that few people under the age of 50 know much about Slater. Whatever you think about Jim Slater as a financier and businessman, and he evokes a wide range of emotions, you can't help admire his undimmed lust for life. |
