Key Facts
—Who can invest Non‑resident individuals can legally invest in Brazilian stocks via the local exchange B3 using the foreign investor framework regulated by CVM and the Central Bank.
—Main route The most practical route for foreigners is to open an account with an international or Brazilian broker that offers access to B3 and handles the foreign investor registration.
—Alternative via abroad Many Brazilian companies are accessible indirectly through ADRs listed in New York or via Brazil‑focused ETFs listed abroad, which simplify custody and tax procedures but reduce local market breadth.
