Research Helps Define Investments' Profile

A poll was conducted to understand the investment profile desired by the associates for the PREVI Futuro resources. 80% of the surveyed associates claimed they would like it if part of their resources were invested in variable income as well, while 68% favored a moderate fund, made up of 80% fixed income assets and 20% variable income assets. These results are to be taken into account in the future studies of Policies and Guidelines of the Investments Plan.
