A worker with money in the FGTS could reserve up to 50% of the account balance to invest in Eletrobras shares.

The deadline for holders of FGTS resources to reserve part of the balance to invest in Eletrobras shares ended last Wednesday (08) at noon. Given this, many people rushed to reserve their participation in the state-owned company, which was privatized by the federal government this Friday (10). But is it really beneficial to invest in these stocks? What are the risks? Find out below.

Practically speaking, what is the risk of buying shares?

In short, the worker with money in the FGTS could reserve up to 50% of the account balance to invest in Eletrobras shares. Of course, as long as you don't have other investments of the same type. Furthermore, it was necessary to raise the minimum amount of R$ 200.

The value of each share was R$ 42. Furthermore, money invested in Eletrobras shares is available for reimbursement after 12 months.

In the event of termination without just cause, replacement may only occur after less than 12 months. Additionally, it is important to note that since this is a stock, your money is at risk. In other words, nothing guarantees that the shares will yield more after 12 months than the FGTS account.

Furthermore, as it is a fund focused on the worker's future, any use outside the traditional rules may represent a risk and be lost in the future. Therefore, the risk of investing in Eletrobras shares is whether or not the workers' account balances will increase.
