Why Brazilian Debt?

Sugarloaf Fund has identified Brazil as the primary region and its commercial loan sector for Trust investments.  First, Sugarloaf believes that Brazil has a large supply of qualifying non-performing assets.  Second, Sugarloaf considers Brazil to be the most promising developing economy in the western hemisphere.  Key developing economies are typically referred to as “BRIC” (Brazil, Russia, India, and China).

Sugarloaf has concluded that Brazil is most fruitful for US based investment because of its presence in the Western Hemisphere, having a generally US hegemony which provides a level of financial and political stability not associated with the other three economies.  Moreover, Brazil shares a European culture with the U.S. due, to the European origins of its people, which is also not present in the other three emerging economies.  Time zones and direct air flights, comparable to those to European capitals, also enhance the ability for proper management.
