Brazil is one of the top-10 global economies, and it is richly endowed with a range of base commodities.
The country has great long-term growth potential, although in the near term, it needs to get its economy back on track. Here is one ETF that provides exposure to the top Brazilian publicly listed companies for investors who want to tap the country’s long-term prospects.
