Economic turnaround in Russia and Brazil may be tempting investors back to BRIC equity funds, with EPFR Global on Friday reporting such funds took in new cash for two weeks in a row for the first time in five months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boston-based fund tracker said funds dedicated to the BRIC cohort – Brazil, Russia, India and China – had received $45 million so far in 2017 from investors, taking in $16.7 million in the past week and $29 million the week before.<\/p>\n

The gains come against the backdrop of emerging equities hitting multi-month highs and funds tracked by EPFR enjoying the longest inflow streak since mid-2016 – thanks to robust commodity prices, rising company earnings and expectations of a benign U.S. Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

But BRIC funds, based on countries grouped together by former Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill, have remained largely out of favour compared to their heyday a decade ago, and the category has come to be seen as an arbitrary one.<\/p>\n

Slumping commodity prices tipped Russia and Brazil into recession after 2014 and fears have grown about China’s debt levels and ability to curb capital flight. While India is in favour now, a large current account deficit in 2013 almost sparked a severe financial crisis.<\/p>\n

Now, as both Brazil and Russia return to growth amid commodity price stabilisation and fiscal and monetary reforms, interest in BRIC funds may grow. But investors are still more likely to invest via funds dedicated to individual BRIC members.<\/p>\n

So far in 2017, Brazil-, China- and Russia-dedicated equity funds tracked by EPFR have received around $1 billion each, with Brazil posting its biggest weekly inflow this week since end-2014.<\/p>\n
