Local Market Rebound Driven by Foreigners’
Massive Purchases
After Seven Consecutive Months in Negative Territory the
COLCAP Recovered in April
The balance for the local market in April was favorable. The COLCAP achieved an appreciation of
7% and broke the resistance of 1,400 points, a level not tested since early February. Also, this is
the best performance in the last 12 months. The rebound of the equity market was driven by the
appetite of international buyers, as shown before, which helped to increase April’s average trading
volume to COP194,937mn/USD83mn, higher than the average in April 2014 and 2013. After the
COLCAP was rebalanced that month, maintaining 20 companies but 24 shares, there were
important crosses between common and preferred shares of different companies. It is worth
mentioning that 12.5% of total operations were done at market on close (MOC) and 30.6% were
relevant transactions (COP1,000mn or more) made by institutional or professional investors. The
balance for the 24 COLCAP shares is noteworthy: only CLH exhibited falls (-1.5%), meanwhile
gains were led by Canacol (32.1%) and Pacific Rubiales (28.8%), with the recovery of oil prices as
main driver.
On May the market is expecting a large number of earnings reports, with local movements
explained by companies reporting under the IFRS for the first time. Let’s remember this
methodology does not generate fundamental valuation changes as cash flow remains the same
independent of the accounting method used; however, multiples and negotiation ratios could exhibit
significant changes. Likewise, the market will be aware of news regarding Chinese economic
development and the resolution of the Greece financial situation in the Eurozone. Besides, the oil
price will continue as a benchmark, given its importance for the Colombian economy.

Points
On the other hand, pension funds have returned to their selling behaviour shown in the past two
years, piling up USD45mn in net sales, overpassed by the real sector with USD60mn and insurance
companies with USD46mn. As we have stated in previous reports, we believe AFPs will be out of
the market as a measure of diversification and long-term strategy investment.

As anticipated, there would not be a dramatic change in the situation of the local market unless
foreigners appease their selling behavior. Indeed, the rebound of the Colombian equity market was
accompanied by massive asset purchases by foreigners. Specifically, these agents made net
purchases for USD112mn and achieved a notable market share of 32%. In the same line, the ADR
program stood in second place in the top-buyers after acquiring USD79mn in net.
