If your professional advice incorporates having an opinion on the global investment markets, a perspective on the emerging markets and a view on how the BRIC economies are affecting those markets, we invite you to consider a forthcoming BRIC+ Study Tour. BRIC+ Study Tours are no junket. They’re hard work, a total immersion in the market, with clear goals, learning objectives and outcomes. They’re independent – unlike the alternatives, the aim is not to promote specific products. The focus is solely on a quality program designed specifically for researchers and investment committee members from dealer groups, platforms, super funds and research houses. Delegates pay their own way, with no hidden subsidies from product providers.

"Over the next 50 years, Brazil, Russia, India and China - the BRICs economies - could become a much larger force in the world economy. We map out GDP growth, income per capita and currency movements in the BRICs economies until 2050... "The results are startling. At the projected pace, in less than 40 years, the BRICs economies together could be larger than the G6 in USD terms. By 2025, they could account for more than half the size of the G6. Of the current G6, only the US and Japan may be among the six largest economies in USD terms in 2050. The list of the world's ten largest economies may look quite different in 2050. The largest economies in the world (by GDP) may no longer be the richest (by income per capita), making strategic choices for firms more complex..." Goldman Sachs |

As with all BRIC+ Study Tours, our Russia itinerary addresses each of our six key themes - Economy/Investment, Politics, Business, History, Society and Implementation. Our BRIC+ Study Tour to Russia kicks off in Moscow. Monday is an orientatation day - we spend it in briefings on a wide range of economic, investment and business topics. Tuesday is a day of site visits and briefings in and around Moscow. Tuesday night we travel by train to St Petersburg to spend time with our Russian expert discussing Russia's history, society and politics. We also have our first implementation session, to begin to gather our thoughts on what we've learned so far means for portfolios. Friday morning it's back to Moscow for another day of site visits and briefings, with our traditional Austrade networking reception in the evening, to meet and network with Australian and local executives living and working in Russian businesses. We also wrap up the Study Tour with a final implementation session. |

India is poised to become the world's third largest economy within a generation and will have a significant impact on portfolios for generations to come. Our seven-day Study Tour commences in Mumbai, India's commercial capital, where we spend a very busy two days in back-to-back economic and investment briefings and site visits. We then travel to Bangalore to visit to a modern technology campus. Then it's north to Agra to visit the majestic Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world, and spend time time with our resident Indian "guru" discussing India's rich business and social history and future prospects. Finally we return to Delhi, the political centre of India, for further briefings and site visits, and a reception at the Australian High Commission. |

Just as the US economy grew to dominance last century, this century will see China grow to be the largest economy in the world, vastly bigger than the US. Whether invested there or not, China will have a profound impact on portfolios - so it's imperative those who build portfolios have an in-depth understanding of China. Our seven-day Study Tour to China commences in Shanghai with two days of economic and investment briefings and site visits. We then travel to Beijing and out to our exclusive training centre at the foot of the Great Wall for an in-depth briefing day on China's history, society and politics with our Chinese elder statesman (and visit to the Great Wall, of course!). Then it's back to Beijing for further investment briefings and site visits. |

Who are they designed for?
How
are they relevant to portfolio construction? For starters, how do you view these economies as a direct or indirect investment destination? Participation with the BRIC+ Study Tour will give you a unique opportunity to debate the range of issues with peers before, during and after the Tour, and to develop and/or confirm your "house view". It's imperative that those who design investor portfolios include BRIC investments in portfolios as a considered, rational progression - not a blind leap of faith. |

BRIC+ Study Tours are not a holiday camp or junket. They are hard work, a total
immersion in the market, with clear goals, learning objectives and outcomes.
Each focuses on a particular BRIC market, and is a highly tailored, week-long,
on location program designed with one thing in mind: to give participants vital
on-the-ground exposure and materially increase their understanding of that
market and its role in portfolio construction. |

The BRIC+ Study Tours are the only way for investment professionals to gain a
true understanding of BRIC economies, culture and investment and how these apply
to portfolio construction for our clients. BRIC+ Study Tour China
The Tour was outstanding - it was extremely well organised and we had the
benefit of being introduced to many excellent contacts, providing a great
insight into the China phenomenon. Highly recommended.
Should anyone want to obtain an overview of China covering the vital aspects of
culture, politics, economy and financial aspects, a BRIC+ Study Tour is a MUST.
Congratulations on the very informative and well organised study tour of China. BRIC+ Study Tour India
The Tour was a great way to gain an understanding of the political, economic and
social environments in India. Well worth the cost and effort!
A tremendous Tour filled with great information. Full on, well run and highly
recommended.
I have travelled to many countries but have never gained such a thorough
understanding of the history, politics, culture and economics. Can't wait for the
next Tour.
An unforgettable experience, brilliantly executed- from all aspects of learning,
fun and visiting different parts of India. |
