Investing in Peru
The Lima Stock Exchange is dominated by mining (Buenaventura, Southern Copper, Cerro Verde) and by Credicorp, the country's largest financial group.
Peru has one of the most stable currencies in the region, but its stock market is small and fairly illiquid, which is why ADRs and ETFs are the most common way in.
We track 24 assets from Peru; the average return over the last year was 60.4% in local currency. In the optimizer, prices can be converted to your currency to include currency risk.
