Investment Idea 2010 - BRIC. Period.
BRIC nations - Brazil, Russia, India, and China - are seeing a higher share of global investments coming their way. This is if one is to believe a report on a leading business paper today. The report cites EPFR Global a tracking agency for global fund flows. Its stats show that BRIC-focused equity funds have already seen inflows of US$ 20 bn during the first nine-months of this year. Importantly, this is almost 40% of funds of all emerging market stock funds.Such large fund flows into BRICs are not without reason. Stockmarkets in these countries have risen sharply over the past 12 months. The MSCI BRIC index is up almost 90% in 2009 as compared to 70% gains recorded by the MSCI EM (emerging markets) index.
Apart from the promise of better returns, and as compared to developed markets, the BRIC economies also promise a better economic future for the coming few years. India is one clear case in point here. And if one has this conviction that the coming decades are going to be extremely bright for India and stays invested in the right kind of stocks, he will be glad that he pulled the trigger.
