The capital market, when widely developed, plays a key role for the economic growth of a country, it facilitates financing of businesses and projects. We believe that, in Brazil, the capital market has not yet fully complied with this function. The following assumption summarizes ATS Brasil Business Strategy:
"Brazilian Capital Markets are not fully
representative of its economy."

The Brazilian capital markets lag behind the domestic economy both in terms of size and growth potential, and behind a number of international markets as well.
The model ATS Brasil proposes would remove capital market hurdles which constrain both savings and liquidity formation, and allow a variety of investors to better access the securities market and other investment instruments.
The driver of our ATS Brasil project has been the huge opportunity we see to spur growth in the domestic capital markets, enhance liquidity and improve corporate access to long-term finance and capital market lending.
