Brazil ETF market reaches R$130bn in assets

Overview

Brazil’s ETF market is undergoing rapid expansion, with assets under management (AUM) rising from approximately R$50 billion at the end of 2024 to nearly R$130 billion by July 2026. This growth has allowed the ETF industry to reach 1% of the total Brazilian fund market allocation.

In the first half of 2026, the category grew by 38.8%, driven by a 41.3% increase in the retail segment and a 31% rise in the private segment. A significant structural shift occurred in 2026 when fixed-income ETFs, favored by high-interest rates and linked to CDI and real rates, surpassed equity ETFs in total AUM for the first time. As of June 2026, 204 ETFs were listed on the B3, including the Ibovespa-replicating BOVA11, which holds approximately R$14 billion.

Key drivers include the scalability, low cost, and tax efficiency of ETFs, which avoid the semi-annual ‘come-cotas’ tax levy. Growth is also fueled by increased scrutiny of active management and the end of certain tax-advantaged exclusive funds. The market continues to diversify into sophisticated and thematic areas, such as income-focused covered-call funds, AI, crypto-assets, commodities, and innovation-themed products like quantum computing. While investment firms like Suno Consultoria and Carpa Family Office are increasingly integrating ETFs into their architectures, the market remains smaller than the US market, which holds over US$15 trillion in assets.
