Investing in stocks seems like a complex terrain that requires many ingredients to strive for success. However, the stock market is a place where every day the most expert and wealthy investors, as well as beginners and small ones, gather. The stock exchange has the same rules for all of them. And everyone can approach according to their capabilities and goals that have been set. It should be clarified that you can start investing from the most modest budget.

In Ecuador, this type of investment can be realized through BANRIO, a brokerage house that has been operating on the market of our country for 29 years. Gonzalo Cucalón, general manager of BANRIO, says they specialize in increasing their clients’ assets through stock market investments. “Our strategy allows investors to get good returns while minimizing risk, always in compliance with the legal regulations prevailing in Ecuador.”

In a country like Ecuador, where every year there are several complaints about fraud and illegal money collection systems, Cucalón mentions that it is important for people to know that the stock market is a safe and profitable option to increase the savings that they have managed to save with so much effort

What is the stock market?

It’s a market like any other. Those who offer their products and those who need to buy them come. Only instead of trading in basic necessities, as in the local market, investments are bought and sold.

It is the place where those who need financing, usually long-term, go, and those who manage funds for investment, in this way find investment papers from the main economic subjects of the country, such as large companies, financial institutions and the State. “These players, both those who sell and those who buy, are represented on the market by brokerage houses that serve as authorized intermediaries who advise and guide those who want to sell and buy. As in any market, there are members and products of different characteristics and quality,” the manager points out.

Who can invest in the stock market?

Cucalón explains that all people who have savings and want to increase it to meet their financial goals can invest. “At BANRIO, we care about knowing the clients and the goals they want to achieve, in order to provide them with appropriate advice on the best investment options, which are in line with their needs and aspirations.”

Based on this information, they create a client profile and make a recommendation that best fits their investor profile. Not all clients have the same aspirations or concerns, which is why he notes that at BANRIO they are concerned with maximizing investment returns in line with their own goals, always prioritizing the security of their savings.

After getting to know the client’s needs, the next step is signing the contract and after receiving the client’s documentation, an investment account is opened.

“Those who invest with us know what their money is invested in and have personalized advice throughout the process. In turn, our constant monitoring of the market allows our clients to take advantage of the best investment opportunities,” explains Cucalón.

How does BANRIO secure its clients’ investments?

In Ecuador, there are companies that, regardless of the situation, consistently benefit their investors. The investment methodology they have allows them to filter investment options according to their economic sector, quality management, financial health and prospects for its growth. “We add to that the experience of almost 30 years of investing in the country and our knowledge of the characteristics of the Ecuadorian market. We believe that the financial analysis of information available from different sources gives us powerful tools to determine the safest investments for our investors,” points out Cucalón.

What are the investment opportunities?

In the Ecuadorian market, people have access to more than 300 investment opportunities in private companies, the financial sector and the government. Private companies come from sectors such as trade, agribusiness, industry, export, agriculture, finance and services. “In other words, we have a large number of options to choose from, which allow us to diversify risk and focus on sectors of the economy that have the best results,” notes Cucalón.

What is the difference that BANRIO offers?

According to BANRIO, the difference is a financially conservative strategy, which allows them to advise their clients to invest in quality products on the market and thus achieve the best results.

“BANRIO has been an independent brokerage house since its beginnings, and our success, as well as the success of our clients, is based on our honesty, which is appreciated by investors from all over the country, giving us their trust all these years. “.

What was the growth of BANRIO on the stock market?

The general manager of this brokerage says that the Ecuadorian economy is growing naturally by 2.3%, and in BANRIO they have achieved sustainable growth in the amount of investment above that figure. “Considering that we have had a complex environment in recent years amid protests, pandemics and political uncertainty, which affect business growth, we are coming in with healthy growth.”

He adds that during these 29 years, they went through wars, bank failures, currency changes, natural disasters and always invested in the best options, avoiding risks with ethics and transparency. “These were the principles on which BANRIO positioned itself, enabling our clients to grow their wealth.”
