BRIC

The strategy of the portfolio is to invest in a diversified pool of undervalued, U.S.-listed securities of companies based in the high growth economies of the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India & China). The portfolio may invest in stocks of individual companies, ETFs and closed-end funds (CEFs).
The investment approach is top-down, at the manager’s discretion, targeting appropriate weight to various BRIC nations and industries, with the goal of achieving a competitive return based on analysis of the fundamentals of individual companies. Technical and momentum parameters are then used for the timing of individual investments.
The manager conducts industry and company analysis based on research received from the institutional brokerage community in BRIC nations and international investment houses than cover BRIC nations.
The portfolio seeks to invest in undervalued, U.S. listed equities of companies based in BRIC nations, exchange traded funds and closed-end funds targeting BRIC nations, plus major U.S. listed international companies that have significant exposure to BRIC nations (at least 30% of earnings derived from these nations). The manager aims to maintain industry and regional diversification, with no more than 40% exposure to one of the four BRIC nations or more than 40% exposure to any particular industry.
Sell targets are established at the time of purchase of securities, and are adjusted as necessary based on events that may influence company valuations and macro outlook changes in BRIC nations.
None.
