BRIC Investing – ADR List for Brazil, Russia,
India and China
Invest in emerging markets with picks that trade on U.S. exchanges
June 16, 2010 | By Jeff Reeves, Editor, InvestorPlace.com
BRIC investment countries – that’s Brazil, Russia, India and China – are some of the hottest emerging
markets right now and investors are clamoring for stocks, ADR list standouts and ETF funds in the region.
But unlike domestic stocks, BRIC funds and emerging market investments can be difficult to indentify.
That’s partially because U.S. investors don’t experience the brands in their day-to-day lives like they do a
McDonald’s (MCD) or a Walmart (WMT), but it’s also because the best BRIC investments are often ones
few traders have heard of yet.
So how do you go about finding the best Brazil stocks or the best China investments? How can you make
sure that your retirement money can grow and thrive thanks to the growth in India and Russia? Simple: Do
your homework on the BRIC regularly, and simply follow the money. To help you follow the top stocks,
InvestorPlace has compiled a comprehensive ADR list.
You see, there are a limited number of BRIC funds, ETF investments and stocks that you can choose from if
you want to retain the same protection as domestic stocks. You see, many individual Brazil stocks trade on
the BM&F BOVESPA, or the Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias & Futuros de Sao Paulo. This is Brazil’s stock
exchange, and though it ranks the fourth largest exchange in the the Americas in terms of market
capitalization (behind the NYSE, Nasdaq and Toronto), the bottom line is that Brazil’s stock exchange does
not follow the same strict requirements and SEC oversight that U.S. stock exchanges require.
That means if you invest in Brazil, you are taking on bigger risk by investing through the Brazil stock
exchange.
If you want to limit your risk, however, you can invest in Brazil stocks that are traded on the U.S. stock
exchange in the form of ADR contracts– or American depositary receipts. These are traded just like shares
of stock, with an American bank acting as a go between and the SEC offering the same protections and
oversight. It’s the best of both worlds with BRIC ADR contracts that allow you to invest in the hottest
emerging markets while still shrouding your investment portfolio in the safety of American securities law!
This ADR list of the best emerging market stocks is invaluable to investors.
So where do you find some of these hot BRIC ADR companies? Here’s an ADR list of some of the most
widely held investments in Brazil, Russia, India and China:
