   Joaquín Cortéz, Provida's chief investment officer, remembers contacting a large foreign fund six years ago to discuss the possibility of an investment. "They mailed me a form to fill out and send back with a check," he says. Nowadays? "Every important foreign fund manager visits Chile to sell services to the AFPs."
   
   With a staff of only 15, Cortéz keeps his investment criteria simple. For example, if Provida decides to go overweight in emerging markets, he and his assistants research the best-performing fund managers over the previous three to five years. "And then we look at their prices, because the only thing we can be certain of about the future is how much they are going to charge us," he says.

   "Every time we buy Chilean stocks, we jack up their prices," says Cortéz.
