Brazil ETFs offer several benefits over picking individual Brazilian stocks or American depositary receipts (ADRs) for your portfolio. Brazil ETFs offer instant diversification across dozens or even hundreds of holdings, reducing company-specific risks. They enable participation in the broader Brazilian stock market rather than trying to choose a handful of winning stocks.
