There are only two I know.
GBRAX and TABRX both have a front end load and have expense ratio of 1.97% and 2.15% respectively. That's quite a turn off. Anyone know other BRIC mutual funds without the front-end load?
What do you guys think of TWMIX and MEMEX? Both are emerging markets fund but not sure how BRIC heavy they are. No load and lower expense ratio. |

EEB and BIK are two BRIC ETFs.
Try to keep those letters straight.  |

| You could always mix and match several ETF's to reach the balance you want. |

| TWMIX, MEMEX, UMEMX, EUROX and SSEMX all have high fees (12b-1, management fees, expense ratios). I compared all 5 and SSEMX chargest the least and almost always comes up 2nd on performance in different time periods. EUROX is best from 5-10 yrs but it has been lagging the rest recently. TWMIX is best YTD but not worth the fees. I'm sticking with SSEMX. |
