September Gains Ahead of the Election

Ahead of Brazil’s October 4 vote, MarketVector’s Brazil BESST Quality (MVBEST) gained 6.75% in September, while MarketVector™ Brazil Multifactor Quality Index  (MVQLBR) rose 3.45%. Both returned approximately 17% over the year ending September 30, 2026.

Beyond Broad Brazil: Selection Shapes the Exposure

As investors await the October 25 runoff, MVBEST selects profitable, dividend-paying companies across banking, electricity, water, insurance and telecoms. MVQLBR combines efficiency, profitability and leverage scores with a lower-P/E valuation filter.

Two approaches. One defining principle: company selection.

1.        Quality and Dividends in Five Industries: MarketVector™ Brazil BESST Quality (BRL) Index (MVBEST)

Selects Brazilian companies in banking, electric utilities, water utilities, insurance and telecommunications with a history of profitability and regular cash dividends. Its industry and fundamental screens offer a targeted approach to Brazilian equities, emphasizing earnings and shareholder distributions.

2.      Quality Selection with Valuation Discipline: MarketVector™ Brazil Multifactor Quality Index (MVQLBR)

Scores Brazilian companies on efficiency, profitability and leverage, then applies a lower-P/E valuation filter. Weighting blends company size with inverse volatility, subject to stock and sector caps, bringing quality, value and a volatility tilt into index construction.
