With global emerging markets now recognised as a key element of quality investment portfolios, it’s imperative that those who design portfolios become as familiar with the global emerging markets as they are the developed markets. The most effective and rewarding way to learn about and understand any market is to go there yourself, do the due diligence, and meet key people not normally accessible outside the BRIC+ countries.  BRIC+ Study Tours do just that.

They're no junket. They're hard work, a total immersion in the market, with clear learning goals, objectives and outcomes. They're independent – delegates pay their own way – unlike the alternatives, the aim is not to promote specific products. The focus is solely on a quality program designed specifically for portfolio construction practitioners, structured around six core themes: Economy/Investment; Business; Society; Politics; History; and, Implementation.
 

The BRIC+ Study Tours are designed for the same audience as their companions, the BRIC+ Digest and BRIC+ Masterclass – that is, portfolio construction practitioners including dealer group principals and researchers, paraplanners, CFPs, investment advisers, research house analysts, asset consultants, manage-the-manager analysts and portfolio managers, super fund trustees and executives.
