The definitive guide to evaluating corporate governance in the world's largest emerging markets

Investing in Brazil, Russia, India, and China is a whole new game. In order to avoid nightmare scenarios, you have to inform yourself about the corporate governance problems rampant in BRIC companies--general corruption, weak boards of directors, individual shareholders wielding undue influence, and other critical conflicts of interest. You'll find, though, that the benefits are well worth it.

Investing in BRIC Countries explains:

• Why governance is critical to international investing success
• The secrets of S&P's(R) methodology for analyzing governance in emerging markets
• How to apply advanced thinking based on a number of real-life cases

Written by two high-level figures at Standard & Poor's(R) who apply their company's own methods and processes, this is a detailed road map to analyzing corporate governance in the world's top emerging markets, helping you make sound decisions and proper evaluations prior to investing in them.
