Some observations:
- In the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008, the BRIC countries were some of the hardest hit countries with the Russian market loosing nearly 74%. However in 2009, Brazil, India and Russia were the three best performing markets.
- Though the crisis originated in the U.S. European and Canadian markets went down more than US markets in 2008.
- For many years during the period shown, Brazilian stocks performed very well earning double-digit returns for investors. Similarly commodity-rich Australia has been a consistent performer in most of the years.
- While the U.S. market held up well in 2008, the performance of the US markets was average in the majority of years.
