Octávio Magalhães argues that Brazilian fixed income, especially government bonds, is riskier than Brazilian equities in the current fiscal and political environment. He prefers high-quality, low-leverage, cash-generative Brazilian companies and real assets over lending to the government, and suggests investors fearing a Venezuela-style outcome should consider US or European equities. He also says government debt problems are global, including in the US, and he avoids US Treasuries as well.
