But in order for an investment portfolio to be balanced and diversified, it must include several currencies, a smart choice of instruments of different classes of assets, and they, in turn, have assets from different countries, sectors and types of investment (value or growth, large-capitalization companies or more girls, etc.). The bad news is that in Argentina the size of the market makes the spectrum limited to fully achieving this goal. But to reduce exposure to domestic risk, investors can incorporate Argentine Deposit Certificates (CEDEARs), which operate as domestic actions. A CEDEAR is a certificate issued in Argentina and represents listed actions in another country. The domestic investor can thus directly buy shares from another country, and diversify also by sectors or subsectors not available at home, all without the need for an overseas account. Each CEDEAR issued is supported by the deposit of the actions it represents, the Banco Comafi being the domestic counterpart that issues them. The purchase is made in BYMA with a comitant account in a traditional ALyC or through the homebanking of your reference bank (must previously enable): the shares are deposited in your home market (USA, Brazil, etc.), and what is traded in the Argentine market is a certificate. There257 Cedears available, although not all operate daily, and some with more liquidity than others, but relying on market makers to give liquidity to each square. Although some CEDEARs are equivalent to a foreign action, in most cases we speak of a fraction because the value of a US action in dollars is very high for the local market in weights: to buy from Argentina an Apple action, one should buy 10 CEDEARs depending on its current conversion ratio (10:1). CEDEARs are bought in weights (there is a reduced market for their purchase in dollars) but are an investment in dollars: the investor must take into account that they represent a currency coverage, operating a totally unregulated implicit exchange rate (dollar counted with liquidation or CCL that arises from taking the quotes of a bonus or an Argentine action here and abroad), but the same can increase or reduce volatility. In the latter case, the investor's detention would be reduced, without altering the price of the action abroad, only by the effect of an appreciation of the Argentine peso over the dollar, i.e. a low of the CCL dollar. Among the less volatile alternatives and detached sectors for a more conservative portfolio to the following companies on good grounds:
Among the most risky alternatives, investors have the following companies that I like for the long term:
In summary, why are CEDEARs the best way to diversify into a local account? Because they allow access to a wide variety of companies with public offer abroad, which allows to avoid exposure to local risk. But another risk is that the company's quotation varies largely depending on the performance in its home market, is a variable yield instrument and therefore risks, in addition to defensive alternatives with recognized brands, stable yields, good cash flows and little volatility.

CEDEARs: The best way to diversify in a local account
With a common account to operate ByMA, the investor has better returns than a fixed deadline with obligations, exposure to hard currency with investments in dollars, or companies with assessments on the ground if he wants to take the relevant risks, which is measured by volatility, i.e. daily fluctuation in their prices.
