Brazilian equities over government fixed income
In Brazil's current fiscal and political environment, he considers Brazilian fixed income — especially long-duration government bonds like NTN-B — riskier than owning Brazilian equities. He argues that in an Argentina-style deterioration, fixed income investors are the first to lose, while strong companies and real assets survive.

US, Europe equities hedge Brazil risk
If an investor fears Brazil could follow Venezuela or Cuba, he recommends moving capital abroad and owning equities in the United States or Europe rather than Brazilian fixed income; he sees country selection as the main variable, not equity versus fixed income.

Global equities beat government fixed income
He sees equity as the only asset class that makes sense long-term, saying he has no other way to invest than in equities; lending to governments is horrible and government fixed income can suffer game over, while ownership of companies survives.

Avoid lending to the US government
He refuses to lend to the US government as well, calling government fixed income horrible in both the US and Brazil. He argues that government bonds are vulnerable to fiscal profligacy, currency debasement, and wealth destruction, so he prefers real assets and equities.

Real assets survive fiscal crises
He recommends buying real assets, property, and company equity instead of government fixed income, arguing that real assets and private property have survived fiscal crises over centuries while fixed income investors have repeatedly been wiped out.
