RESUMO

This paper investigates the possibility of obtaining profits with an investment strategy named pairs trading. Using a rule which is already adopted in practice by investors, yields averaging annualized excess returns of approximately 4.7% for the period 2002-2006 were obtained, after transaction costs. The reported returns have low correlation with the market and low volatility. Pairs that have performed better mostly contain the same firms common and preferred stocks, a particular case in Brazil of very close substitutes
