By: Qineqt The MIST represents the largest markets in Goldman's N-11 Equity Fund, which seeks long-term capital appreciation. Other nations comprising the fund include Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Vietnam, Egypt and Philippines. Investors have started moving their money ($15B last year) out of the BRIC countries, since growth in the member nations failed to meet expectations. The engine of BRIC economies is now sputtering, and initial hopes that the economies could withstand the pressure of an economic slowdown are fading away. Due to structural problems, and the countries' inability (as of now) to kick start domestic consumption to make up for lost growth, investors have already called back their money. The new block, MIST, offers a diverse economic platform and the right catalysts for rapid growth amongst the emerging economies. Investors should particularly follow Mexico due to its low cost advantage, and Turkey for its large young population with a proven record of entrepreneurship. Source URL: http://seekingalpha.com/ End
