The Brazilian equity and futures exchange in Sao Paulo is the 4th largest in the Americas and 13th largest in the world based on market capitalization. The main index of the Brazilian stock market is the Bovespa index.
From Wikipedia:
“The Bovespa Index (Portuguese: Ãndice Bovespa) is an index of about 50 stocks that are traded on the São Paulo Stock, Mercantile & Futures Exchange (Bovespa: BOlsa de Valores do Estado de São PAulo).
The index is composed by a theoretical portfolio with the stocks that accounted for 80% of the volume traded in the last 12 months and that were traded at least on 80% of the trading days. It’s revised quarterly, in order to keep its representativeness of the volume traded and in average the components of Ibovespa represent 70% of the all the stock value traded.”
