Brazil Market Skill
When to use
- User asks about B3 companies, FIIs (REITs), or ETFs (e.g., PETR4, VALE3, BOVA11, QBTC11, KNCR11)
- Questions mention CVM, DFP, ITR, FRE, IPE, PTAX, B3, or Bovespa
- Requests need BRL values with USD conversions
- User asks for a ranking or list of B3 funds/ETFs (top gainers, by sector, QTD, YTD)
Ticker format
- Accept both
PETR4 and PETR4.SA — both work
- Canonical B3 format: 4 letters + 1-2 digits →
PETR4, VALE3, ITUB4
- ETFs and FIIs always end in
11 and are classified as type=fund in BRAPI:
- ETFs:
BOVA11 (Ibovespa), IVVB11 (S&P500), SMAL11 (small cap), QBTC11 (Bitcoin), QETH11 (Ether)
- FIIs (real estate funds):
KNRI11, XPML11, HGLG11, KNCR11
- Regular stocks end in
3, 4, 5, 6 (e.g., PETR3, PETR4, VALE3)

Listing B3 funds and ETFs (BRAPI /api/quote/list)
When the user asks for a list or ranking of B3 ETFs or FIIs — e.g., "top ETFs today", "best FIIs", "best performers" — use BRAPI's list endpoint with type=fund. Both ETFs and FIIs are type=fund in BRAPI; they all have tickers ending in 11.
GET https://brapi.dev/api/quote/list
?type=fund ← required: covers all ETFs + FIIs (ticker ends in 11)
&sortBy=change ← sort by: name | close | change | volume | market_cap_basic
&sortOrder=desc ← asc | desc
&limit=20 ← items per page (max 100)
&page=1
&search=BOVA ← optional: filter by ticker fragment
&token=<BRAPI_TOKEN>
Known limitation: BRAPI does not expose QTD/YTD/MTD period-return fields. change is always today's intraday return. For multi-period ranking, you would need to fetch historical prices per ticker and compute returns manually — acknowledge this to the user rather than presenting today's change as a period return.
To get a quote for specific tickers (including ETFs):
GET https://brapi.dev/api/quote/BOVA11,IVVB11,SMAL11,QBTC11,QETH11
?token=<BRAPI_TOKEN>
The financial_search tool handles this automatically — just query:
"list top 20 B3 ETFs and funds by today's performance"
"BOVA11 IVVB11 SMAL11 current quotes"
Currency & FX
- All Brazil tool outputs include BRL values AND
*_usd equivalents.
- FX uses the latest PTAX rate (from BCB), not a historical period-end rate.
- PTAX metadata
{ ptax_rate, ptax_date, ptax_source } is included in results — always mention it.
Common pitfalls
- QTRD / unknown tickers: If BRAPI returns
NOT_FOUND, the ticker likely does not trade on B3. Confirm with user. Suggest /api/quote/list?search=<fragment> to discover similar tickers.
- Fundamentals for FIIs/ETFs: Most funds don't have income statements. Use price/key-ratios data instead.
- CVM filings for foreign companies listed as BDRs: CVM filings may be limited; suggest SEC filings for the underlying foreign issuer.
- QTD/YTD ranking: BRAPI only has today's
change%. Tell the user explicitly if they ask for period-based ranking.
