Tesouro Direto is a program for trading government bonds online, aimed at individuals. For small investors, Tesouro Direto is considered a low-cost and safe investment option: government bonds are considered the lowest-risk assets in an economy.
Another change, effective today, concerns the redesign of the Tesouro Direto website. With this improvement, the website's content will be more didactic and intuitive.
With improved usability and navigability, the new website offers a more modern and accessible shopping environment across various market platforms, including tablets, smartphones, laptops, etc. The site also features a financial advisor, a virtual application designed to help investors by providing advice on the best stocks.
With the goal of facilitating investor transactions, the Brazilian Treasury Direct program announced that, starting today, it will simplify the names of the bonds traded on the market. The proposal aims to make them self-explanatory, especially regarding profitability, remuneration, and maturity dates. The bonds will thus be called Treasury Fixed-Rate 2021, Treasury IPCA 2019, or Treasury Selic 2017, among other examples.
The National Treasury reported that, to introduce the changes, it conducted research among investors and professionals in the financial sector. The alterations were part of a project to improve how the Direct Treasury program should better serve its audience: small investors interested in purchasing federal government debt securities sold by the government via the internet.
The Brazilian Treasury Direct program was created in 2002, in partnership with the National Treasury and BM&Bovespa. For small investors, it is considered a profitable and safe investment, being an alternative for those who do not want to keep their money in a savings account. The minimum investment is R$ 30.
