In 1993 Brazil launched its version of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT), with what are known as Fundo de Investimento Imobiliario, or FII.

This was from Federal Law 8668/93 and instruction 205/94. Now it is by Rulings 472/08 from Comisao de Valores Mobiliarios/Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM). And regulated by the Rules for Fund Operation, where they're registered, then submitted for approval by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários/Brazilian Securities Commission (CMV).

FIIs are Brazilian Real Estate Investment Trusts

FIIs can be listed on the stock market, the Bovespa (Sao Paulo Stock Exchange), have at least 50 investors. Since 2006, they have been tax free for individuals, but not for companies -- provided those persons own less than 10% of the FII.

At least 95% of operating income, and at least 95% of capital gains, must be distributed to unit holders on a semi-annual basis, at the end of June and December of every year.

This income must be from the operation of real estate -- rent and capital gains. Income from fixed income investments is subject to taxes and tax withholding of distributions. The use of leverage is forbidden.

These Brazilian REITs can own and operate property investments. However, there are more private ones than publicly listed ones. It is most often used as a special-purpose entity, and funded by private capital. Existing entities can not be transformed into a FII.

A Fundo de Investimento Imobiliario is a REIT in Brazil

FIIs must be approved by the CVM, and so must subscriptions for units. They must be formed and managed by financial institutions authorized by the CVM.

There is no required minimum capital. An FII is not a legal entity, but a contractual arrangement between investors and a fund manager. They are closed-end, and can have either a limited or indefinite duration.

Most FIIs are small. They own just one, or a portion of one, property. So most Brazlian REITs own one office building or one shopping center or, in one case, one hotel.

A construction company may not hold more than 25% interest in a FII. Unit holders may be legal entities or individuals in Brazil or outside Brazil. There is no discrimination between Brazilian and foreign investors.

A FII is classified as an investment condominium. They are forbidden by law to use leverage, so all their positions are 100% equity.

The CVM website lists 133 FIIs. However, I crosschecked against them with the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange website listed companies. None of them were listed as being publicly traded. However, other sources say that FIIs are publicly listed there.
