Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify variables which influence the use of derivative financial instruments by Brazilian financial intermediaries listed on the BM&FBOVESPA, during the period from 2006-2011. Data collection was conducted through content analysis in the Explanatory Notes and Balance Sheet, available on the website of São Paulo Stock Exchange – BM&FBOVESPA, and data were analyzed through regression techniques for panel data, estimated by the Generalized Moments Method (GMM) by Arellano and Bond (1991). It was found that analyzed institutions use derivatives mainly for risk management (68%), i.e. they use derivatives for protection (or defense) against losses that may occur due to market and price rates changes. The most used derivative was options contracts (56.3%), followed by futures contracts (17.8%) and swap (16.6%). On other hand interest rate derivatives (41%) and exchange rate derivatives (35%) represents a major part of the derivatives. By regression analysis it was determined that lagged dependent variables influence positively themselves. The independent variables ATIVO and TXCÂMBIO also influence positively the use of derivatives. However the independent variables PL, RECEITA and TXJURO influence negatively the derivative use by the analyzed institutions.
