Tesouro Direto: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to invest directly in government bonds to help grow your savings through Brazil's safest investment option.
Tesouro Direto is a program that gives you direct access to government bonds, which are considered the safest investments in Brazil.
Who it's for
This program is available to any investor who holds a CPF.
What you get
By participating, you gain direct access to government bonds. These are considered the most secure investment options available in the country.
What it costs you
Investing involves some costs, including potential brokerage fees from your financial institution and custody fees for holding your assets.
The catch to know
If you decide to sell your bonds before they reach their maturity date, you may face "mark-to-market" losses. This means the value of your investment can fluctuate, and you might receive back less than you originally put in if market conditions have changed.
How to apply
- Obtain a CPF if you do not already have one.
- Open an account with a financial institution or broker.
- Choose the specific government bond that fits your financial goals.
- Follow the instructions on the official portal to complete your purchase.
