International investors interested in understanding corporate governance issues in Brazil can now access expert opinions and factual cases in the Transparência e Governança (Transparency and Governance) web site – Information and Debate for Minority Shareholders. The site was created in October to serve as a forum to promote discussions and analysis of real cases. The initiative organized by local asset managers, is lead by Polo Capital based in Rio de Janeiro – a local asset manager with approximately US$1.5 Billion under management. More and more, funds are increasingly conscious and organized to defend their rights and seek action from regulators and market agents. The site explain local rules and help understand important issues to foster investors to take a more active role in discussing corporate governance and transparency issues with companies and regulators.
“The website´s mission is to create a forum for discussion among investors, one that seeks to share information, promote debate and disseminate news which contributes to the improvement of corporate governance practices in Brazil and to defend the rights of minority shareholders”, says Claudio Andrade, partner of Polo Capital.
The English version is a free translation of the Portuguese web site and is directed to foreign investors who are interested in investing in Brazilian companies, either in Brazil or in NYSE. The side has for example detailed cases of governance issues with a discussion of key aspects and an analysis of facts affecting minorities. Given all the attention paid by foreign investors to Brazil, this is a great resource for information and to foster the discussion between investors, both for asset managers and individual investors.
