Company Description
BOVESPA is the largest stock trading center in Latin America, concentrating about 70% of the volume of trades carried out in the region. Throughout its history, BOVESPA has experienced changes in order to streamline its structure. The most recent one took place on August 28, 2007 through a corporate restructuring process that resulted in the creation of BOVESPA Holding, which has, as fully-owned subsidiaries, the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BVSP) - responsible for the operations by the stock exchange and the organized over-the-counter markets - and the Brazilian Clearing and Depository Corporation (CBLC), which provides settlement, clearing and depository services.
