The portfolio is made up of 51 shares from 38 companies and it comes into effect on January 2, 2011 and is valid until December 31, 2012. It represents 18 different industries with a total market value of R$ 961 billion, i.e. 43.72% of the total value of companies listed on BM&FBOVESPA (on Nov. 23, 2011).
