Just as England grew to economic dominance in the late 1800s and the US in the 1900s, this century will see the Big Rapidly Industrialising Countries emerge and dominate, in particular Brazil, Russia, India and China. We'll also witness a host of other economies emerge over the coming decades - hence the "+" in BRIC+. 

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. If your professional advice incorporates having an opinion on investment markets, we invite you to participate in the BRIC+ Program.

This page is the entry point to a wealth of information and exclusive insights into the global emerging markets, including the BRIC economies.  Welcome.

The BRIC+ Program is a continuing professional development service providing exclusive insights into global emerging markets, including the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). It delivers independent educational activities designed for researchers and investment committee members from dealer groups, platforms, super funds and research houses, and financial planners with a role in investment portfolio design, to enhance their understanding, knowledge and experience of global emerging markets – so that a decision as to whether or not to include BRIC+ investments in portfolios (and if so, how and for whom) is well educated and researched (not a blind leap of faith!).

Our online weekly BRIC+ Digest highlights important articles, research papers, podcasts, presentations, and videos about the global emerging markets, including the BRIC economies. We scour the world so you don't have to. The BRIC+ Digest will save you time and help you become as familiar with the global emerging markets as you are the developed markets.
