Portfolio Performance
If you had followed the portfolio since Jan/2026What would a R$ 100,000 portfolio built in Jan/2026 following the channel's allocation be worth today — considering price return of indices + yield (dividends/interest) for each asset class, and incorporating rebalancings. This is the objective way to measure, over the years, whether the macro thesis is correct.
So far there has been a single move (Jan → May). The result was driven by Ibovespa (+11.4%) and Cash (+5.6%); TLT (−1.7%) was the only negative and the USD barely moved (+0.2%) — the 7% p.a. carry nearly offset the FX decline. With each new rebalancing (every few months), this number evolves and measures the macro thesis over the long run.
Methodology: R$ 100,000 in the Jan/2026 allocation, return per class = index return + yield: USD USD/BRL + 7% p.a. (stablecoin); TLT in BRL + 3.5% p.a.; Real Estate FipeZap + 4.5% p.a. (rent); FIIs IFIX (already includes distributions); Ibovespa total return (with dividends); Cash CDI; IPCA+ IMA-B. Approximate values, updated May 29, 2026. Does not include costs/taxes. Not an investment recommendation.
Change History
FIIs upgraded to Bullish (20%) and cash cut to 10%
The turn that started on 14 Aug is now complete: Brazilian REITs (FIIs) move from Neutral to Bullish and from 15% to 20%, funded by cash, which falls from 15% to 10%. The thesis is about price, not the economic cycle — Brazil's economy is weak and this is an election year, but 68% of listed funds trade below 0.90x book value (median 0.83x) and the median yield of the class is 12.6% a year. On our own numbers, 202 of the 231 funds with a calculated fair value (87%) trade below it. Buying a large discount on an asset that pays rent every month does not require calling the election right: it requires the market to look at the class again once the noise clears. Cash is still good on its own merits — the Selic at 14% pays well — but holding it while units are cheap became an opportunity cost.
Fine-tuning: FIIs up, real estate to Neutral and Ibovespa out of Bearish
Calibration without a change of thesis. FIIs go from 10% to 15%: units remain discounted with high rates and we started turning. Real estate falls from 25% to 20% and moves from Bullish to Neutral — buying at auction is still very attractive, but the appreciation of the property itself is uninspiring in the short and medium term. Ibovespa moves from Bearish to Neutral: high rates still weigh on multiples, but the risk premium already prices much of that in and there are individual stocks with a very good case inside the index. Gold goes from Neutral to Bearish — after the recent run, the entry risk is asymmetric against you. Weight stays at 0%.
Macro rebalancing: FIIs downgraded to Neutral, more USD and real-asset protection
With Brazil's macro deteriorating (rising debt/GDP, long-term interest rates under pressure with no turnaround in sight without a change of government), we reduced Brazil-dependent risk and reinforced direct wealth protection. FIIs fall from Bullish to Neutral (20% → 10%): they keep generating income, but assets that depend on Brazil unlocking value tend to drift sideways or down in this environment. In return, USD rises to 25% (strong currency, ~R$ 5 vs. the R$ 6.20 peak, removes Brazil risk), Real Estate auctions rise to 25% (physical asset, no manager, rising rents, purchase discount) and IPCA+ Treasury falls to 5% (attractive rate, but if deterioration continues rates will rise further, marking the bond down). Cash (CDI) stays at 15% as dry powder yielding 14.5% to capture dips. Read the full article with the thesis for each sector.
Adjustment: USD to Bullish, Ibovespa to Bearish
USD at R$ 5.18 — entry point. Ibovespa with stretched valuations after a 34% rally. Reduced from 15% to 10% in IBOV, increased to 20% in USD.
