where to invest in emerging markets?

I'd like to place an investment in emerging markets. rather than investing in them directly, i'd feel more confident about an investment in u.s.- or europe-based companies with heavy exposure to the bric economies. any suggestions about mutual funds or etfs that would give me that kind of exposure?

1. Every one of BRIC countries has its own ETF's, many of them. Probably best way to go.
2. There are 3 ETFs that do just BRIC--EEB, BIK, and BKF. The largest is EEB at about $300 million. The other two are at about $100 million. EEB invests in those that have ADRs--about 75 companies. There are also mutual funds that invest in each of the countries. Brazil--EWZ, BRF, and one that invests in Brazil money market kind of--BZF. China--GXC, PGJ, FXI and some closed end funds and some open end funds including Matthews China fund which has one of the best records. Russia--RSX and closed end funds TRF and CEE. India--FNI (both India and China), EPI, PIN, and INP, and the closed end funds IIF and IFN. There are I am sure many more options available.
3. hi there... Since I'm following news and regarding market trends, I think European-Based companies are best for now. I suggest you should be confident and go ahead with the thought.
