O principal objectivo deste trabalho baseou-se na constituição de um Fundo Especial de Investimento composto por treze séries de futuros sobre commodities agrícolas e a sua posterior análise. A carteira foi constituída com base no modelo de Markowitz, assumindo a existência de um activo sem risco e sem restrições ao short-selling. Procedeu-se a um back testing do desempenho da carteira nos três anos anteriores à sua constituição (2006-2008), contemplando uma análise comparativa com o desempenho dos seguintes índices accionistas: MSCI Global (carteira de mercado); MSCI Emerging Markets; S&P 500; DJ Stoxx 600 e PSI 20. Verificou-se que, no período em análise, a correlação entre a carteira constituída e os índices accionistas estudados, foi bastante baixa, reforçando a ideia de que faz sentido investir no mercado de commodities agrícolas, como forma de diversificação dos investimentos. O facto de na constituição desta carteira não terem sido consideradas restrições ao investimento nas séries, levou a que fossem assumidas posições muito elevadas nas mesmas, aumentando o risco da carteira. Constatou-se que, na prática, a aplicação do modelo de Markowitz deve ser conciliada com uma gestão activa da carteira, atenta às evoluções do mercado, especialmente no caso concreto das commodities agrícolas que são muito sensíveis a factores externos ao mercado.
The main purpose of this study is the establishment of a Mutual Fund composed by thirteen agricultural commodity future contracts series and it posterior analysis. The portfolio was established based on the classic Markowitz model, allowing unconditional riskless lending and borrowing at the same interest rate. No restrictions to short-selling were imposed. It was done a back testing along the three years prior to portfolio's issue date (2006-2008), comparing its performance with the following stock market indices: MSCI Global (market portfolio); MSCI Emerging Markets; S&P 500; DJ Stoxx 600 and PSI 20. This study provided evidence on the low correlation between the portfolio and the indices studied, reinforcing the idea that the investment in the agricultural commodity market is a good alternative to the investment diversification. In the allocation of this portfolio were not considered investment restrictions in the series, which led to be taken very high positions on them, increasing the portfolio's risk. It was concluded that in practice the application of the Markowitz model should be combined with an active portfolio management, responding to market evolution, especially in the case of agricultural commodities that are very sensitive to market external factors.
