CEDEARs Regain Attention from Argentine Investors

In a context where interest rates in pesos still compete with the financial dollar but Wall Street offers growth stories difficult to replicate in the domestic market, Allaria Ledman & Cía Sociedad de Bolsa —one of the largest brokerage firms in the local market— updated its international selection with a concrete map of companies to watch. The report presents a theoretical portfolio of $1,000,000 Argentine pesos with a marked bias towards two sectors: technology and consumer discretionary, which together concentrate 60% of the allocation.

What Are CEDEARs and Why Are They Relevant?

CEDEARs (Certificados de Depósito Argentinos, or Argentine Deposit Certificates) are financial instruments that allow Argentine investors to access shares of foreign companies listed on international markets, operating from the local Stock Exchange. These certificates represent a fraction of a foreign share deposited in a custodian entity, offering currency hedging and the possibility to invest in both pesos and dollars.

The main advantage is that they allow investors to dollarize part of their portfolio without leaving the local market, accessing world-class companies like Apple, Amazon, or in this case, those recommended by Allaria. For foreign readers, this is similar to ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) but designed for the Argentine market, allowing locals to gain exposure to international equities while navigating local currency controls and regulations.

💡 Key Insight

Allaria's report does not present a closed portfolio with exact weights per share, but rather a sector allocation and a list of CEDEARs that the Research department considers attractive.

Sector Distribution of the $1,000,000 Portfolio

Sector Allocation Amount (ARS) CEDEAR Companies
Technology 30% $300,000 Nvidia, Globant, Oracle
Consumer Discretionary 30% $300,000 Tesla, MercadoLibre, Trip.com
Financial 10% $100,000 Nu Holdings
Energy 10% $100,000 Petrobras
Healthcare 10% $100,000 Intuitive Surgical
Telecommunications 10% $100,000 T-Mobile

The Technology Block (30%)

Includes three companies with very different profiles:

  • Nvidia: The name most associated with the artificial intelligence boom, data centers, and high-performance semiconductors. It's the most demanded company internationally for AI chips.
  • Oracle: A combination of mature company with renewed bet on cloud and corporate infrastructure. Attractive for those seeking technology with a more conservative profile.
  • Globant: Technology company of Argentine origin that has suffered significant punishment on Wall Street. Its inclusion can be read as a recovery bet.

Consumer Discretionary (30%)

Three companies with diverse exposure:

  • Tesla: The most volatile. No longer just electric automotive, but linked to autonomous driving, batteries, robotaxis, and operational efficiency.
  • MercadoLibre: Combines e-commerce, digital payments (Mercado Pago), credit, logistics, and advertising. Regional scale difficult to find in other Latin American companies. Known as 'the Amazon of Latin America'.
  • Trip.com: Bet on tourism and Asian consumption. Less familiar to local investors, but with exposure to travel recovery.

The Four Remaining Sectors: Direct Allocation

Unlike the main blocks, these four sectors have defined individual allocation because there's only one CEDEAR per sector:

Financial - $100,000

Nu Holdings - Brazilian digital bank that has become one of the most relevant growth cases in the region. Attractive for digital banking business expansion and user monetization.

Energy - $100,000

Petrobras - Paper affected by oil prices, dividends, and Brazilian corporate policy. Serves as partial counterweight in growth portfolios.

Healthcare - $100,000

Intuitive Surgical - Company linked to high-complexity robotic surgery. Its behavior is closer to a growth company than a purely stable stock.

Telecom - $100,000

T-Mobile - More defensive profile than big tech companies, with more recurring revenues and less dependence on disruption narratives.

Additional Context: Recommended Stocks for Long Term

Additionally, a report from El Cronista Finanzas identifies five companies with solid business models and long-term growth capacity, ideal to hold "for a lifetime" via CEDEARs:

Microsoft (MSFT) - Leader in cloud and AI, with growth projections of 30% to 35% according to JP Morgan.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) - Diversification across multiple sectors and historical stability under Warren Buffett's leadership.

Alphabet (GOOGL) - Google's parent company, dominance in digital advertising and technology ecosystem.

Coca-Cola (KO) - Long-term investment due to global brand and resilience in mass consumption.

Visa (V) - Capitalizes on global digital payments growth as a solid option.
