How Costa Rica’s BN Fondos Connects Local Investors to Bitcoin and Wall Street Performance

• BN ETF 500 and BN ETF Bitcoin maintained near-perfect correlation with their benchmarks, reflecting consistent market alignment performance.

• Investors gain simplified portfolio tracking, avoiding direct trading in international markets or cryptocurrency exchanges through these structured funds.

During its first six months of operation, BN Fondos reported high correlation levels between its investment funds and their respective benchmark indices. The BN ETF 500 non-diversified fund reached a correlation of 0.993 with the S&P 500, while the BN ETF Bitcoin non-diversified fund achieved a 0.992 correlation with the price of Bitcoin. In practice, both funds replicate the movements of their reference markets with high accuracy.

For investors, this behavior allows greater clarity in tracking results. The funds move almost in parallel with well-known global markets, which means participants can monitor performance without needing to trade directly in foreign exchanges or cryptocurrency platforms.

Ileana Atan Chan, general manager of BN Fondos, explained that for years, access to international markets or digital assets was limited to investors with large capital or technical expertise. The launch of the BN ETFs, she said, seeks to remove those barriers and broaden participation in global financial instruments.

The correlation level also contributes to transparency and predictability, allowing investors to plan their strategies with measurable reference points. Entry barriers are low: one can start investing with $100, and make subsequent contributions from $1. All transactions and monitoring processes are conducted digitally through BN Móvil and Banca en Línea, offering daily tracking and monthly account statements.

Both funds are regulated, dollar-denominated, and registered in local and international markets, ensuring operational security. BN Fondos maintains its objective of expanding financial inclusion in Costa Rica through accessible instruments and digital management, combining technology and trust as practical tools for modern investment.
