Suitable for different profiles
Fixed income and variable income funds. From the most conservative to the boldest,ETFs have options for different investor profiles,says Gustavo Jesus,partner at RGW Investimentos. There are funds that pool investments in China and india, and also other more diversified funds. One of them is Small11,a B3-listed ETF focused on small companies on the stock exchange. Its potential for returns is greater, but the risk is considered equally high.
Risk depends on the fund segment. Gustavo Jesus says that there are more conservative ETFs, which are similar to the DI fund, and also cryptocurrencies, shares and commodities. There is also liquidity risk if the fund has a low trading volume on the Stock Exchange. Thus, it is indeed critically important to pay attention before investing.
The main one is the market risk, which is the volatility in the price of the assets that the Foundation replicates. An ETF changes stocks depending on the stocks in the index it tracks.Risks such as low liquidity are lower, as the volume of trading on ETFs has increased considerably, making life easier for investors who want to buy or sell on the Stock Exchange.

Interview with Gustavo Jesus: Understanding ETFs for Every Investor Profile
Editor, time.news: Thank you for joining us today, Gustavo.As a partner at RGW Investimentos,you have valuable insights into the world of Exchange-Traded Funds (etfs). Let’s start by discussing how ETFs cater to different investor profiles.
Gustavo Jesus: Absolutely, it’s a pleasure to be here. ETFs offer a wide range of options suitable for both conservative and aggressive investors. For instance, more conservative ETFs resemble traditional fixed income funds, while there are also high-risk, high-reward options like those focusing on emerging markets such as China and India. One popular example is Small11, which invests in smaller companies on the Brazilian stock exchange. It holds the potential for substantial returns,though the risks are considerable.
Editor: That’s engaging! Can you elaborate on the risks associated with these funds?
Gustavo jesus: Certainly! The risk profile of an ETF often depends on the specific segment in which the fund operates. Some ETFs are conservative, akin to DI funds, while others may invest in cryptocurrencies, stocks, or commodities.one key risk to be aware of is liquidity risk; ETFs with low trading volumes can pose challenges when buying or selling shares. Therefore, thorough research before investing is crucial.
Editor: Market risk seems to be a meaningful concern. Can you explain how this plays a role in ETF investments?
Gustavo Jesus: Market risk is indeed paramount. It reflects the volatility in the prices of the underlying assets that the ETF replicates. What sets ETFs apart is their ability to adjust their holdings in response to changes in the index they track. Fortunately, as trading volumes for ETFs have surged, the liquidity risk has diminished, facilitating easier transactions for investors on the stock exchange.
Editor: Speaking of performance, how do ETFs typically fare in terms of dividends and income generation?
Gustavo jesus: Great question! It’s essential to note that not many ETFs pay dividends. The income is closely linked to the specific theme of each fund. For example, BOVA11, which relates to the Ibovespa, and IBVB11, which tracks the S&P 500, are notable. However, when dealing with North American markets, investors must be cautious about currency fluctuations, as these can considerably impact overall profitability.

Gustavo Jesus: Absolutely! I recommend investors start by clearly defining their investment goals and risk appetite. With various ETFs available, from those focusing on fixed income to volatile sectors like technology, understanding the potential risks and rewards is vital. Additionally,keeping an eye on trading volumes and fund performance can aid in making informed decisions. Lastly, consider the impact of international currency fluctuations when investing in foreign market ETFs.
