Vale

Ibovespa, same period

At the close of 30 Oct 2026. Includes dividends declared since purchase.

Why we own it

Most of Vale’s revenue is in dollars, so it tends to hold up when Brazilian assets fall. It rose 5% on the day of the post-election sell-off.

It is also the largest weight in the Ibovespa, which keeps the portfolio from drifting too far from the index.

What could go wrong

  • Iron ore prices fall with Chinese demand.
  • New dam-related liabilities or regulatory penalties.

What would make us sell

Written before we bought. A falling price is not on this list.

  • A material regulatory or reparations event.
  • Evidence that it no longer protects the portfolio when Brazil sells off.
