In years marked by major events, such as the World Cup and elections, is it worth investing or is it better to wait? The answer is to understand the economic context. Periods like this tend to bring more volatility to the markets, influenced by political uncertainties and changes in economic expectations. However, there may be interesting opportunities for those with a long-term strategy and vision, especially with the prospect of falling interest rates and more controlled inflation.
With the expectation of the start of interest cuts, some investments gain prominence, while others may be less attractive. In general, the combination of diversification and scenario analysis is what allows investors to better navigate periods of instability in Brazil and abroad.
Most sought after investments in World Cup and election years
With this scenario, some options tend to be more closely watched by investors, each of which has distinct characteristics that may suit those looking for opportunities:
- Prefixed securities: can benefit from falling interest rates, with potential for appreciation;
- Inflation-linked bonds (IPCA): help protect purchasing power;
- Shares (variable income): tend to gain strength with lower interest rates;
- International investments: help to diversify and reduce local risks;
- Post-fixed: still relevant, but with lower returns expected.
Actions that favor income
In addition to choosing assets, another essential point is how to structure the investment portfolio throughout the year. In periods of uncertainty, some practices become even more important:
- Diversify investments;
- Reduce exposure to a single risk;
- Monitor the economic scenario in Brazil and abroad;
- Observe the investor profile to avoid impulsive decisions;
- Establish a long-term vision and not just react to brief movements;
- Reevaluate the portfolio periodically.
During the World Cup and electoral elections, investors need to be prepared for fluctuations and, at the same time, be alert to opportunities. With planning, discipline and a well-defined strategy, it is possible to transform volatility into an ally in building results over time.
