The BRICs are in a unique position at this time, as the economies of the countries are looking for bottoms whereby to build back up from.
While it's definitely not time to buy as of this writing, as a provable uptrend hasn't been engaged yet, it's important to have your investment money in the sector ready, as it appears there are attempts at a bottom forming, and you want to get in close to when that happens.
It's not good to try to find the absolute bottom, but it is good to watch and wait to see that it has sustainably bounced off their bottom and are on an upward trend.
The BRICs are wildly out of favor at this time, and justifiably so. But there is always lag time from the time an uptrend begins and traders catch on, and that's when you want to invest in the sector. If you get in too early you risk a lot of time, while if you get in too late you're always trying to chase the numbers and you'll have to pay a premium for whatever companies or funds in the sector you're looking to invest in.
The best strategy is to wait until the uptrend is ensured, but before most investors catch on.
There is no doubt about the BRICs' growth in the future, with India probably being the weakest of the bunch because of draconian regulations and laws, but overall, this group of countries are where the majority of future economic growth will be, and those getting in at the right time again will reap significant financial rewards.
Other than specific funds, it's best to look at quality blue chips companies based in China, India, Brazil and Russia, as they still have a lot of room to grow, and are almost ensured of lasting for a long time into the future.

BRIC's Battle For African Assets
China is all over Africa--with its massive aid packages, loans, investments, and thousands of Chinese construction workers. But Brazil is set on making its mark, too, and it's hiring locally to get on the good side of Africans who want jobs and whose resentment toward the Chinese is reportedly increasing.
China's presence in Africa is suspect--while often in the name of aid, its rather sweeping investment and interest in the continent's vast natural resources is clear, as Fast Company detailed in an extensive series on China in Africa. Not surprisingly, relationships with locals are strained--Chinese workers are more often than not the ones gaining employment from Chinese contracts in Africa and tensions have exploded in some instances, leading to shootings and other stand-offs. And all of this makes it easier for Brazil to enter, as the country can learn from China's mistakes.
A railway in Liberia, for example, is being renovated in the hopes of boosting the country's economy, which has largely been stagnant due to decades of civil war. The Brazilian engineering firm, Odebrecht, hired locals to get the job done and have found smooth, successful relations as a result. "It worked perfectly," project manager Pedro Paulo Tosca told Reuters. "The majority of the heavy work was activities that we could perform with local manpower instead of bringing sophisticated equipment to the site."

Brazil Becoming Major Energy Plays as it Discovers Another New Oil Field
Brazil Oil
Brazil's future continues to look bright in the energy sector, as another oil field discovery in the pre-salt region confirms the estimations of between 60 billion to 150 billion barrels of recoverable oil are waiting to be extracted.
The latest oil field discovery called Guara, is also the result of new techniques used which can now find oil under the covering salt on the ocean floor, which in the past wasn't able to be done. Up to 2 billion barrels of oil are estimated for the latest finding.
Brazil is now the leading energy producer in the region, as Hugo Chávez continues to decimate the Venezuelan economy through his socialist practices. Brazil emerging as the leading energy producer in the region is great news for all who live there, as well as everyone in the western hemisphere.
Another conclusion that could be made is this could undermine the peak oil theory, and contribute to the idea that there are still vast recoverable oil reserves yet to be tapped into around the world.
