With growing interest in Brazilian markets,ANBIMA’s activities
in the international arena have also intensified.We hosted,
for the first time, Fiafin’s Congress (The Ibero-American
Investment Funds Federation), an entity in which Eduardo
Penido,ANBIMA’s representative, is the current president.
Penido was also elected president of the IIFA (International
Investment Funds Association). We continue to actively
participate in the Iosco’s Self-Regulators’ Committee, which
announced that its Annual Conference will be held in Brazil
in 2014. We launched a website dedicated to foreign
investors and created the Regulatory Studies area, which
aims to monitor and analyze international regulatory changes,
emphasizing its potential impacts on our markets.
Another area created during the year was the Economic
Research Area, responsible for the technical analysis of
market behavior. In November, we launched Panorama,
a monthly publication whose goal is to identify and
explain the major market movements in the period,
starting with the statistical information that ANBIMA
collects in its database, and contextualizing it in the
domestic and international macroeconomic scenario.
While still reflecting our efforts to provide information
about our markets, we have released the Private Banking
Newsletter and the IDA (ANBIMA’s Debentures Index)
which depicts the performance of the debentures market.
Finally, throughout 2011, ANBIMA’s directors and
executives have engaged in an intense discussion
regarding the Association’s DNA, a process that led us to
formally define and express ANBIMA’s vision and mission,
which are outlined on the first page of this report.
Another important step in this process was formalizing
the commitments we have made to fulfill our mission.
The commitments to represent the capital market
institutions, to self-regulate the segments that we
represent, to qualify professionals and investors and to
generate information and knowledge about our markets
proven very familiar to everyone. After all, they are
reflected in the activities that the Association has been
performing for a long time. Formalizing them, however, is
a healthy way to create a tool to guide and evaluate our
performance, which is also why we organize the report
around these commitments.
Happy reading!
