However, funds supervised by BTG Pactual Asset Management are not included in the deal.
In addition, the new collaboration intends to provide investors, who look for steady long-term revenues, with access to equities of developed markets across the world.
It seeks to integrate both passive and active management by allowing investment in Brazilian depositary receipts (BDRs) supported by iShares-branded exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed on B3 stock exchange in Brazil.
BTG Pactual said that BlackRock FIA ETF BDR Fund aims to offer risk-regulated returns against the MSCI World Net TR index for MSCI World. It can also be utilised as a major provision for global exposure.
