William Blair Investment Management portfolio manager Marcelo Assalin was quoted in Pensions & Investment’s reporting on the current outlook for investors interested in the BRICS emerging market economies.
"If it's well organized—which remains to be seen as (this is) a very heterodox bloc of countries spanning from democracies to autocratic regimes, so cohesion may be a bit challenging there—I believe one of the positive implications of this will be more available and perhaps more affordable funding for [BRICS] countries," Assalin said.
