Interested in emerging markets? If so, here are some ideas to get you started.
We ran a screen on US-traded stocks from the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) for those seeing the most significant net institutional purchases over the current quarter. Institutional investors, such as hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers, are generally considered "smart money" investors because of their experience and access to sophisticated research.
We screened for those with bullish sentiment from institutional investors, with significant net institutional purchases over the last quarter representing at least 5% of share float. This indicates that institutional investors such as hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers expect these names to outperform into the future.
