World Congress Organizes Visit by Foreign and Brazilian Investors to Petrobras
and Vale
Event will be held September 17-20 at the Transamerica Expo Center

SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Federation of
Investors Corporation Congress (WFIC), which will take place September 17-20
at the Transamerica Expo Center in Sao Paulo, will be offering participants
the opportunity to tour the installations of two of the country's largest
companies: Petrobras and Vale.
Congress attendees can either visit the Petrobras Henrique Lage Refinery,
one of the company's most important installations, or Vale's Mutuca, Aguas
Claras and Capao Xavier mines. The Petrobras visit will be on Saturday,
September 20. The company will show the refinery's installations and provide
an overview of the production process. The Vale visit is scheduled for
September 22 and will last four hours. Both visits are courtesy of the
companies for those attending the congress; space is limited and reservations
are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Investors interested in visiting Petrobras or Vale must register for the
Congress. Specific details of each visit, as well as procedures for making
reservations, can be found at:

This is the first time the Congress is being held in Brazil. The country
was chosen because of worldwide investor interest. The Instituto Nacional de
Investidores - INI (National Investors Institute), member of the World
Federation of Investors Corporation, is responsible for bringing the WFIC
Congress to Brazil, organized in partnership with TradeNetwork, organizer Expo
Money, with support from several Brazilian and international institutions.
For investor Fabio Roberto Fowler, only through events focused on
financial education can the capital market be demystified and stock markets
effectively popularized. "Events such as the World Congress are a one-of-a-
kind opportunity to connect with investors from other countries and other
Brazilian states, while providing direct access to the country's largest
publicly held companies," he says.
Fowler says the holding of the WFIC in his country should be seen as an
important milestone for the Brazilian investment market. "Brazil was selected
because of the importance of its market. We know that the growing value of
Brazilian companies and their future potential served as justifications for
holding the event here," he concluded.
