Sicoob raises R$973.3 million in first public financial-letter issue

Brazilian cooperative system Sicoob raised R$973.3 million in its first public issue of financial letters.

The securities were offered in two series with two- and three-year terms.

Investor interest totaled R$3.23 billion, more than four times the R$800 million initially proposed.

Financial letters are gaining ground as a more predictable alternative to bank deposit certificates.

Sicoob says the issue is intended to diversify its funding sources and borrowing terms.

The move is meant to make its financial flows more predictable and strengthen liquidity management.

Sicoob says it wants to build a lasting presence in capital markets, but no further issuance plans were specified.
