The sale of Treasury Direct securities to individuals reached a record volume in June:  R $ 1.452 billion, according to data released by the agency. The amount was the highest for the month since 2002. 

In June, the most sought after securities by investors were those linked to the Selic rate, which accounted for 44.3% of sales. The papers corrected for official inflation by the Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA) accounted for 37.4% of the total. The fixed-rate securities, with interest defined at the time of issue, corresponded to 18.3%.

With the result of June, the stock of public securities invested in Treasury Direct rose 2.3% in relation to May, reaching R $ 46.7 billion. The stock change represents the difference between sales and redemptions, plus the recognition of interest on securities. 

In June, redemptions amounted to R $ 707.2 million, related to repurchases (when the Treasury repurchases outstanding securities). Last month, there were no bond maturities (when the paper term runs out and the Treasury pays investors).

The Treasury Direct was created in January 2002 to popularize this type of application and allow individuals to purchase public securities directly from the Treasury without brokerage of financial agents. The applicator only has to pay a fee to the broker responsible for custody of the securities.
