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. Wink

Cool! I got this article about EEB and BIK. Both are not perfect since they are not representative of the global GDP

GDP Weight (should be the % weightings for a fund):

China 50.2%
Brazil 19.1%
India 16.0%
Russia 14.6%

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

Is BRIC a cramerism, or standard term?

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.
