Coverage: Cosan | Cosan Limited | São Martinho
Best Recent Calls:
Preference of Ultrapar over Cosan. Throughout 2013, we reiterated our preference for Ultrapar vs. Cosan based on the fuel distribution segment in Brazil—the
most attractive in the world, in our view—representing a much more significant part of Ultrapar’s EBITDA (close to 70%) vs. only around 30% for Cosan. Ultrapar
outperformed Cosan by close to 30% during the year.
Preference of São Martinho over Cosan. With an eye focused solely on the sugar and ethanol businesses, we also reiterated our preference for São Martinho vs.
Cosan, driven by SMO’s stronger FCF generation as well as likely higher dividend going into 2014. SMO has outperformed Cosan by almost 10% since our postCancun conference report.
Corporate Access:
Differentiated corporate access included a well-timed roadshow with Cosan’s CFO right before the company’s Cosan Day events, which included, among other news,
the information that the collapse of Cosan’s two shares into one would not happen in 2013.

Coverage: Alfa | Autometal | Grupo Carso | Iochpe Maxion | Mahle Metal Leve | Marcopolo | Mexichem | Randon | Romi | Weg
Best Recent Calls:
Active portfolio rotation, with strong results. We initiated coverage of Mahle Metal Leve on July 18, 2013, with the stock gaining 21% in four months. The team
downgraded Marcopolo in January 2013 at R$6.70. After a correction of 28%, we upgraded to Buy on January 2014.
Industry benchmark reports. Daniel Gewehr has been covering Capital Goods since 2001, on both the buy and sell-side, and has a deep understanding of the
industrial chain, as can be seen in his thematic reports like Weathering the South Storm—Does Expected BRL Devaluation Offsets Weaker Sales to Argentina?
(February 11, 2014). The team recently created a one-stop-shop chart book for the sector, which offers a 360 º view of listed companies and its peers.
Corporate Access:
The best corporate access on the Street, including benchmark event Santander Capital Goods Trip. Daniel and his team have close access to management,
hosting Non-Deal Road Shows/Events (and writing reports about them) with all Capital Goods companies under Santander’s coverage during 2013, namely Autometal,
Iochpe, Marcopolo, Mahle, Randon, Romi, and Weg. In 2013, Daniel also conducted the Second Santander Capital Goods Trip, an opportunity to meet 21
companies/sources meetings in five days, including eight site visits.

Coverage: Ara | Cementos Argos | Cementos Pacasmayo | Cemex | Cemex LatAm Holdings | Cresud | Ferreycorp | GEO | Homex | ICA | IRSA | Parque
Arauco | Urbi
Best Recent Calls:
Out-of-consensus call on MRV. Taking a contrary view from the market, which did not believe in MRV’s turnaround, we reiterated our positive view on MRV in June
2013, stating that the worst was behind MRV and that the company was approaching the margin inflection point. We called investors’ attention to the company’s solid
cash flow generation and excessively discounted valuation. In four months’ time, the stock climbed over 50% versus 13% for the Ibovespa, and as of this date, the stock
is trading 17% higher versus -5% for the Ibovespa since June 2013.
Cemex Latam Holdings: We initiated coverage of Cemex Latin Holdings with a Buy rating in April 2013. We argued that CLH deserved a valuation premium to
Cementos Argos at a time when the market had an opposite view. Three months after that, CLH had outperformed CEMARGOS by 11%.
Sector piece on Colombian cement companies. In October 2013, we introduced our YE2014 target prices for CLH and CEMARGOS and named those stocks our top
picks in Colombia. CLH’s stock has rallied 11% since then.
Corporate Access:
Timely corporate access/events. Among the events we hosted in 2013 we highlight: (i) Lunch meeting with PDG’s CEO, Mr. Carlos Piani. The event took place during
a critical period in the company’s restructuring process, providing timely information on PDG’s turnaround and short-term outlook; (ii) Road show with MRV’s IR Director,
Ms. Monica Simão: hosted in September, when MRVE3 began to outperform the market due to improved results, the road show clarified skeptical investors’ inquiries
about the company’s earnings recovery and intended pace of growth; and (iii) Road show with CEF (Caixa Economica Federal): following a period of much noise
concerning the discontinuation of the French amortization system in mortgage origination, we were on the road with CEF to separate untruths from facts as well as to
provide an update on the development of MCMV program..

dhgewehr@santander.com.br
Coverage: Anhanguera | Estácio | Kroton | Ser Educacional
Best Recent Calls:
Reiterating preference for the outperformer Kroton. Bruno maintained Kroton as his top pick during the whole year, and the stock outperformed its peers for the
second year in a row, appreciating 73%—even when Anhanguera’s discount to the merger’s share swap ratio started to widen. Bruno’s call was based on Kroton’s
best-in-class fundamentals and on a risk-return perspective.
Favoring SER and Estacio. Santander was a joint bookrunner of SER’s IPO, which rose 34% in two months. Bruno worked in the IPO and initiated coverage in
December. He has also favored Estacio for most of the year, and the stock appreciated 47% in 2013.
Amongst the most significant sector pieces published over the last few months, we would highlight (i)The Quality Watchman series, an in-depth analysis of MEC’s
quality assessments; and (ii) coverage of main industry events: Private Education Congress and ABED’s Distance-Learning International Conference.
Corporate Access:
5th Santander Education Conference established itself as an insightful event, based on presentations by nonlisted companies and industry experts, in addition to all
listed higher education companies. The team also organized events with reputable industry sources.

Best Recent Calls:
Negative view on Copel: Curbing market expectations on apparently low multiples. In September 2013 we released a report on integrated companies in which we
highlighted our view that Copel’s adjusted multiples should account for lower implied return, worse operating and regulatory performance, and less growth sustainability
in the longer term.
Positive calls on Taesa and Alupar. In Santander’s LatAm Universe Book, published in early January, we highlighted the attractiveness of the two cases before the
start of rationing discussions, based on solid cash flow generation, higher than average operating parameters, and good IRRs. In our 4Q13 preview, with the two stocks
overdiscounted, we reiterated the calls, and in both reports we have published on the hydro situation (early February and end of February), we highlighted our
preference toward TransCos, even in our nonrationing cases.
The team published a number of insightful thematic reports, among them Brazil Economics/Utilities/Strategy: Crying in (No) Rain—Talking about Rationing Again;
February 2014, Brazil Utilities: Fifth Brazilian Utilities Day: Help on the Way but Uncertainties Remain, March 2014.

Davivienda | Gentera | GF Galicia | GF Inbursa | Grupo Aval | Intercorp | Itaú Unibanco | Itaúsa
Best Recent Calls:
Remarkable report The End of the Repression: After recommending caution with respect to Brazilian banks for close to three years, Boris Molina and Henrique
Navarro published a report in October 2013 foreseeing a tapering of the policy of strong public sector loan growth, predicting a recovery in ROEs and market share at
private banks, offering a more positive view on the sector, and naming Itaú Unibanco as their top pick in Brazilian banks. The latest data from the Brazilian Central
Banks indicates that their thesis was spot-on, with a recovery in spreads and a slowdown in public bank loan growth, as anticipated in the report.
Remarkable calls of the year: Boris was persistent in his call of a Buy rating on Davivienda in Colombia in 2013, correctly anticipating that Bancolombia would
underperform due to the need to increase capital to bolster capital ratios as the closing of the acquisition in Panama. His upgrade of Bancolombia to Buy in early 2014,
ahead of the capital increase, also proved to be the right call, as the stock rallied ahead of the deal. In a similar way, Boris was ahead of the market with Banorte, with
a Buy rating on Banorte before its capital increase in mid-2013, again anticipating a that the stock has overly discounted the share overhang. Likewise, in Mexico, his
timely upgrade of Compartamos (Gentera) as a likely winner in the new regulatory environment in Mexico also paid off handsomely, while he correctly recommended
that investors to stay way from Bolsa for the duration of the year on the weak cost outlook and regulatory uncertainties.

Top Insurance Coverage - Timely Recommendation on Brazilian Insurance Companies. Henrique is ranked in the top positions in accuracy and timing of his
recommendations on insurance companies, according to Bloomberg analyst rank. He covers all four listed insurance Brazilian companies namely: BB Seguridade,
Porto Seguro, SulAmerica and Brasil Insurance. His timely reports provides an in depth update and is precise in anticipate the insurance seasonal characteristics – soft
and hard cycle incorporating an extensive cross-check of views with possible impacts of industry leading indicators as: unemployment level vs. insurance penetration
and anticipated analysis of Brazilian rainy season vs. auto insurance market, which position his research apart from mainstream.
.
Out of Consensus calls – Cielo and BM&F Bovespa. Henrique started 2014 with out of consensus call on Cielo, being the single analyst with underperformance
recommendation, anticipating the competitive environment for the acquiring industry for 2014. He also maintained an out of consensus view on BM&F Bovespa after
close two years, maintaining the proved negative view on traded volumes. He changed his recommendation to hold on October 2013, with a more constructive view
driven by the priced in impact on competition and attractive company’s dividend yield.
Corporate Access:

Best Recent Calls:
We have maintained a strong conviction call for Gruma. The company was the best-performing stock in the sector in the last two years. We identified the
turnaround and deleveraging process of the company.
For Ambev, we maintained a good flow of information on the corporate restructure process. Also, we maintained a cautious view on the stock due to valuation
and identified a good entry point in late 2013, as volumes bottomed out at the end of the year. What’s more, our team fostered communication with nonpublic
companies (Schin/Kirin).
We remain bearish on the bottlers in Mexico. The main reasons were (1) the expensive valuation levels and (2) expectation of more normalized growth. The
environment was further complicated by new excise taxes in Mexico.

Industry benchmark Healthy Actions Required report. Daniel, who has experience as a buy-side analyst, produced unique industry reports such as Brazilian
Healthcare: Healthy Actions Required-Takeaways from Our 7th Annual Trip, where he provided an in-depth update of his coverage and healthcare subsegments. His
research incorporates an extensive cross-check of views on the healthcare sector, including nonlisted entities in the industry such as regulators, hospital providers,
brokers, health consultants, and reinsurers, which position his research apart from mainstream.
Active healthcare portfolio rotation, with strong results. Daniel has been very timely in the case of OdontoPrev, upgrading the stock to buy on June 24, 2013.
After the stock outperformed by 13%, Daniel downgraded it on January 9, 2014 (ODPV has corrected 12% since then). In October 2013, he changed his top pick to
Qualicorp from OdontoPrev.
Benchmark event: Healthcare Trip (already in its 7th edition). Daniel and team have close access to management, hosting Non-Deal Road Shows with all the

Best Recent Calls:
Anticipating structural changes and turnarounds. 2013 was a turnaround year for the sector, with stocks going up significantly during the second half of the year
after a long period of underperfomance. We were able to identify the trend and upgrade the sector in the middle of the year, enjoying most of the outperformance.
Alerting investors on Vale. In a sequence of roadshows during the year it become clear to us that the main factor driving Vale's shares was the top-down view rather
than bottom up. With that, in spite of the company's good fundamentals and management achievements, we were able to alert investors about our skepticism on the
stock given the negative expectations about iron ore prices and China.
Corporate Access:
During the year we organized some meetings with company CFOs, including those of Gerdau, Usiminas, and Magnesita.

Best Recent Calls:
Early bird on IEnova in Mexico: Initiated coverage in mid-2013 with a strong-conviction Buy rating and the highest target price in the Street based on its strong
fundamentals, defensive growth, and attractive non-energy-reform related opportunities. The stock has outperformed the Mexican Bolsa by 40% since our
initiation report entitled The Right Stock, at the Right Time.
Ultrapar as Top Pick in Brazil: Reiterated the stock as our top pick in April 2013 based on the differentiated event with Ultrapar’s CEO (first meeting ever with
investors in Rio); the stock has
outperformed the Brazilian Bovespa by 17% since our report.
Braskem in Brazil: Upgraded the stock to Buy in April 2013 based on strong international spreads, a weakening BRL, and solid volumes; the stock has
outperformed the Brazilian Bovespa by 16% since our upgrade.
Corporate Access:
Varied corporate access, including road shows in different geographic areas with CEO of Petrobras, CEO of Ultrapar, CEO of Queiroz Galvao, CEO of Sete Brasil,

Coverage: CMPC | Copec | Duratex | Fibria | Klabin | Suzano
Best Recent Calls:
Klabin: perfectly timing the equity offering overhang and share rebound. Our out-of-consensus negative read on the conditions proposed for Klabin’s equity
offering proved correct, and the stock declined 20% since the announcement in June. In August, with the stock reaching two-year lows, we upgraded Klabin to Buy,
as we understood that the overhangs were already fairly priced in. Since the report, the stock price increased 25%.
Fibria: curbing market enthusiasm on pulp prices. After hosting a meeting with Fibria’s CFO and commercial director, we reiterated our cautious view on the stock,
which was trading close to four-year highs based on the expectations that pulp prices would rise further. Our counter-consensus view materialized, pulp prices
corrected, and Fibria’s ADR’s declined 18%.
Suzano: a farsighted call on delayed capex and challenging FCF outlook. Back in September, we were early birds in highlighting Suzano’s delayed capex issues
and flagged that consensus was too bullish on 2014 FCF estimates—a view that indeed was borne out in March, when a 60% higher-than-consensus capex was
announced. Since then, Suzano has consistently underperformed the Ibovespa and its main peers.
Duratex: pounding the table on unjustified stock underperformance. Following our meeting with Duratex’s management at Santander’s Brazil Conference in
August, we reiterated our Buy rating, as the stock’s steep 20% decline was unjustified. Three weeks after our report, the stock had rebounded 20%.

Best Recent Calls:
EZTec as a high-quality asset has paid off. In early 2013 we named EZTec as our top pick among the Brazilian homebuilders due to still inexpensive valuation visà-vis its profitability level and the expected pickup in earnings driven mainly by the EZTowers project and reliable execution. By November, 2013, the stock was up
26% YTD, at which point we downgraded the stock purely on rich valuation. After the downgrade the stock declined 13% by year-end.
Increases in TP for Fibra Uno and Vesta. In 1Q14 we published reports on Fibra Uno and Vesta, reinforcing our positive view on both names. We believe Fibra Uno
will grow as it integrates properties and continues with organic growth. We expect Vesta to grow as it spends cash still available from its last follow-on to develop its
pipeline, which includes a major project with Nissan.
Corporate Access:
Timely corporate access/events. Among the events we hosted in 2013 we highlight: (i) Lunch meeting with PDG’s CEO, Mr. Carlos Piani: The event took place
during a critical period in the company’s restructuring process, providing timely information on PDG’s turnaround and short-term outlook; (ii) Road show with MRV’s IR
Director, Ms. Monica Simão: Hosted in September, when MRVE3 began to outperform the market due to improved results, the road show clarified skeptical investors’

the French amortization system in mortgage origination, we were on the road with CEF to separate untruths from facts as well as to provide an update on the
development of MCMV program.
Property tour in Mexico City: We had a property tour in January of 2014, which included properties of Fibra Macquarie, Fibra Terrafina, and Fibra Danhos; the tour
was useful to a major European client in making an investment decision.

Best Recent Calls:
We anticipated the sector de-rating in Brazil. In our December 12, 2013, Brazil Retail & Consumer Goods report, Uncertainties to Continue for a While Longer, we
revised our sector outlook and highlighted our negative view on the consumption environment in Brazil for 2014. We also noted the demanding valuation at which most
stocks were trading and we recommended selectivity. In February this year, retailers strongly underperformed, followed by a de-rating, with the sector’s average 2014E
P/E dropping from 19x to 16x.
We prefer Mexico over Brazil—Liverpool and Lojas Americanas are our top picks. We recently published the report Mariachi or Samba—Dancing to Different
Beats in which we highlight our more constructive view on Mexico over Brazil, as we expect economic activity to recover throughout 2014, especially in the second half
of the year. Our top pick in the region is Liverpool, as we think this department store chain is well positioned to take advantage of the positive structural changes in the
Mexican apparel segment. In Brazil, our top pick is Lojas Americanas, as we believe this Brazilian retail chain’s model provides one of the best alternatives for the
challenging economic environment the country is experiencing. We like the company´s defensive profile (resilient sales mix and low dependence on credit) and its
track record of good results.

Best Recent Calls:
The go-to team to understand corporate events, including the Oi-PT amalgamation and the potential sale of TIM Brasil. We closely analyzed and have been
successfully guiding investors in understanding the intricacies of the main corporate events in the sector. We first detected the major side effects on all parties of the
proposed Oi-PT merger and have carefully guided investors on the non-obvious steps that may (or may not) lead to a potential M&A involving TIM Brasil through an inmarket consolidation or through the entry of a new player.
The early bird on the TIM M&A news flow. We now have a more cautious stance. In late July we called investors’ attention to upcoming (September) changes in
Telecom Italia’s controlling group (Telco) that could led to M&A noise on TIM Brasil. From its low ~R$8/share in late July, TIMP3 rose almost 60% through late January.
We grew more cautious on the stock before the peak price on the grounds that the intricacies of doing an in-market consolidation deal (where the most value could be
added vs. entry of a newcomer) would make it unlikely to materialize.
Corporate Access:
Custom-made and out-of-the-box corporate access. We moved away from the main tream large/group events and shifted our corporate strategy focus to small and
custom-designed meetings with key industry specialists (in the telecom and tech sectors), selecting for these meetings company officials, legal/fiscal advisors, and
private companies.

Euro-LatAm edge knowledge. Not only do we have a consistent analysis across LatAm, but we also work closely with our Infrastructure team in Europe.
Best Recent Calls:.
Infrastructure: During the year, we have insisted on two calls: (i) that toll roads are bond proxies and therefore there was a significant risk for Brazilian names;
and (ii) Overweight Mexico vs. Underweight Brazil, based on different momentum in long-term interest rates in the two
countries and expensive valuations in Brazil (IRR below risk free) vs. reasonable valuations in Mexico (IRR above Ke). Thus, we have maintained a negative stance on
CCR and a positive one on OHL Mexico.
Mexican Airports: We downgraded Mexican airports in January 2013 and then upgraded the sector (with an in-depth report) in November 2013, with OMA as top pick.
We find GAP’s valuation reasonable but were concerned about the conflict among shareholders; with respect to ASUR, we identified a real risk of tariff falls and a rich
valuation.
Negative on airlines due to the challenging macro scenario that, in our view, should more than offset the correct conservative management stance on capacity. Copa
was the exception. It was always our only Buy. We were the only analysts to publish a report on Volaris alerting the market to a price war in Mexico. Please see our
initiation of coverage last December.
Negative on Santos Brasil, due to a different view on competition and renewal of concession from consensus.
Positive on Localiza. Throughout the year, we kept our 2013 earnings estimate clearly above the consensus, which proved correct as lower revenue was offset by
lower depreciation, lower-than-expected financials, and a recovery in car sales in 2H13.
Downgrade of Tegma in January 2013 was in anticipation of a very bad performance of Integrated logistics. We upgraded it to Buy on January 9, 2014.
JSL: In-depth initiation of coverage in December 2012 with a Buy rating.
Corporate Access:
Access to top management and benchmark events, including the one EuroLatam InfraConference on the Street. During 2013, we had several interesting events,

with the presence of main companies in the sector in LatAm and Europe.
(iii) At our Cancun conference, almost all LatAm Transportation and Infra companies were present and represented by top management.

Our out-of-consensus call of playing the Fed relief rally following the tapering talks correction in June by overweighting Brazil vs. Mexico generated outperformance of
more than 26% in USD terms through October 2013. Our more negative than consensus view on Chilean equities due to political volatility and weak flow dynamics
materialized, as the country was one of the worst-performing LatAm markets of 2013.
Underweight stance toward consumption sectors toward end of 1H13 due to stretched valuations and macro headwinds, especially for food retailers in Mexico and
discretionary retailers in Brazil, was consistent with strong underperformance. Strong overweight in education and investment-related sectors, such as cement &
construction and infrastructure, materialized, as they were the best-performing sectors in 2013.
Our staple publication LatAm All Stars, in which we outline our top 10 large/mid- and small-cap top picks, outperformed the benchmark by more than 9% in 2013. Topperforming calls were Gruma, IEnova , Bancolombia, and Cementos Argos. On the quantitative front, we accurately predicted vast majority of additions/deletions for
rebalancing of MSCI LatAm indices.
Outlook:
The top-down view for LatAm remains challenging in the short term. As outlined in our Funds & Flows weekly reports, our case for more supportive equity flows in
2H14 remains, as better relative valuations in EM vs. DM coupled with lower headline risk stemming from China should continue to serve as a catalyst for investors,
especially among institutional foreign investors that remain underweight LatAm.
We continue to prefer Mexico and Colombia to Brazil and Peru. We remain neutral on Chile and Argentina.
Top Picks:
Ambev, Banorte, Braskem, IEnova, Ultrapar, Copa, Gruma, OMA, and Parque Arauco.

On June 20, 2013, we rated Endesa as Buy, on our assumption that hydrology had limited downside, and that even in the case of a dry year, Endesa’s results
were not going to suffer, because of the entry of new efficient coal capacity and the disciplined commercial policy of the company. Back then this was an out-ofconsensus call as, historically, Endesa’s results have had a correlation with the level of rains in Chile. We have reiterated the call on a quarterly basis, and since
then the stock has been one of the best performers in the market, outperforming the local benchmark by 12%.

Evaluation of 2013 strategy: During the beginning of 1H13, we recommended a cautious investment strategy due to high valuation and increased downside risks.
The Mexican IPC registered a decrease of 18% in 1H13 from a maximum of around 46,000 points to a minimum 37,517 points. After reaching this minimum level and
despite valuations remaining expensive, we called for a more aggressive investment strategy. In the second half of the year, the IPC rebounded 14% to 42,727 points
by year end.
During 2013, our Mexican Model Portfolio outperformed the Mexican stock market by 331 bps (with a positive 1.07% return vs. -2.24% for the IPC).
In our January 2014 strategy report (Market View: Volatility Risks Suggest a Defensive Strategy), we highlighted that 2014 would be a complicated year for Mexican
equities because of stubbornly high valuations and the volatility in GEM currencies and stock markets that the U.S. Fed’s tapering process would generate. To date,
the Mexico IPC Index is down 6.9% in U.S. dollars.
Since mid-2013, we have been very negative on the TMT sector due to the strong competitive environment facing AMX in its various markets and because of
regulatory risk in Mexico. We also have been quite cautious on the food retailer sector due to a very weak consumer environment since mid-2013 and the expected
negative effect that the fiscal reform would have on the Mexican consumer environment in 1H14. These two sectors have underperformed the Mexican Mexico IPC in
the past 12 months.
We have had strong conviction on Fibra Uno, which despite a significant correction in 1H13 due to higher interest rates, outperformed the Mexican market by 1,070
bps. In 1Q14, Fibra Uno also outperformed the Mexican market by 514 bps.

We Overweighted Braskem bonds (’20, ’21, ’22, and ’41), based on our conviction that Braskem is an improving credit whose investment-grade rating is increasingly
secure. Recent results have indeed shown steady improvement, and this remain a core pick.
We Overweighted Gerdau bonds (’17, ’20, ’21, and ‘23), similarly considering it cheap to investment-grade peers and in view of its improving credit metrics and steady
net debt reduction. Then the bonds tightened 50-75 bp and we took our gain, moving this to Market Weight in February 2014.
We Underweighted GVO bonds (’18 and ’22) in May 2013, and in second half 2014 these bonds fell from 90-95 to the current level of 55-60 on severe credit concerns.

Our Brazilian team consistently had a lower-than-consensus GDP forecast for 2013 starting in late 2012 and almost matched the actual number (2.30% vs. 2.28%
actual).
Our Mexico team started cutting its GDP forecasts in 2Q13, earlier than the consensus, based on the poor performance of some sectors, and had a few sizable
reductions later in the year, with the final forecast virtually meeting the actual number (1.2% vs. 1.1%).
Our Mexico team anticipated the first Banxico rate cut early in February, way before the consensus started to move, effectively matching both the timing and
magnitude of the actual move (50-bp cut in March 2013).
Macro forecasts for USD/BRL were quite accurate in 2013, closely tracking both the quarterly and end-of-year numbers (ranked 2nd among 37 contributors on

FX:
(1)
We went short BRL/ long MXN (opened on January 30 and closed on April 1 for a 3.8% return) on political consensus to push forward reforms in Mexico,
while overall macro policy continued to deteriorate in Brazil. A partial resolution to the U.S. fiscal cliff and a substantial reduction in risks in Europe would help
the MXN, while FX intervention would prevent BRL from moving below 2.
(2)
We went short USD/BRL the next trading day after the Central Bank announced an FX intervention program (opened on August 23 and closed on September
5 for a 2% return), as we thought the BRL had weakened too much and positioning was already far too crowded with long USD positions. We thought the
intervention would be successful to reverse the recent losses seen in the BRL.
(3)
We went long USD/COP (opened on September 24 and closed on November 12 for a 2% return), as the market seemed to move too quickly to price in the
possibility that BanRep would let its reserve accumulation program expire.
Bonds:
We bought Mexican MBonos Dec. ‘15s without FX hedge in November 2012 (opened on November 20, 2012, and closed it on September 5, 2013, for a return,
including MXN gains, of 8.8%) given Banxico’s recent hawkish tone at the time, which we though would be reversed due to softening economic momentum and
phasing out of the supply shock affecting inflation. Our view was that Banxico was likely to sound much less hawkish over coming months and might even opt for a
rate cut in 1H13.
