Many people who received their bonus for Fiestas Patrias on July 15 are now considering how to invest that money. There are many options on the market, the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL) is one of them.
According to Luis Mendiola, professor of Finance at the Esan Graduate School of Business, the first thing to consider before investing in this instrument is that the interested party must define the objective they hope to achieve and the purpose for which they plan to invest.
Once you have defined your goals, the expert recommended contacting a stockbrokerage company (SAB). On the website of the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SMW) you can find the directory of those that are registered. (Enter here to know the authorized SABs)
“Here you will be informed about the investment alternatives based on your profile. To do this, you will be assigned a stock exchange representative, who will guide and direct you through the process. You have to keep in mind that investing in the Lima Stock Exchange is a long-term investment,” he said.
Likewise, he explained that capital gains on the BVL are subject to a 5% income tax rate. The commission charge that the SAB will make must also be taken into account.
“One recommendation is that you should not spend all your bonus money or your savings on this instrument,” he said, adding that if you want a short-term investment, the best options are stocks with high turnover.
