The AREA11 ETF bundles NTNB (IPCA+ with semi-annual coupons) and distributes monthly income, avoiding the early redemption tax (22.5% IOF) and cumbersome cash flow management. It essentially offers a treasury bond with monthly payments and a flat 15% tax, making inflation-linked income more practical and tax-efficient.
Raul Sena argues that the AUVP11 ETF selects Brazilian equities based on consistent profits, low debt, and excludes volatile sectors like aviation, meat, and retail. This fundamental filter captures the true quality of the Brazilian stock market, which is not as bad as the poorly constructed Ibovespa index suggests, and he believes it will outperform over time by avoiding junk stocks.
The BTC11 ETF combines Bitcoin exposure with Brazilian Treasury allocations to reduce drawdowns and enhance long-term returns. When Bitcoin volatility spikes and the market declares it 'dead', the ETF starts buying Bitcoin; during uptrends it moves capital into treasury, smoothing the ride and delivering a higher risk-adjusted return over time.
