Russian sanction affected ETFs

Interest in Russian related ETF’s


Following the effects of geopolitical affairs and sanctions imposed both by Russia, the United States, U.K., Europe and many other countries, the Russian securities market has become un-investible to foreigners.

Most fund mangers have written down to 0 and allowed the delisting of the ETF’s from exchanges resulting in no market prices for the underlying shares or for the ETFs. Also due to the sanctions, many brokers and fund platforms have barred investors from completing any transactions in the shares. Resulting in the ETF shares being completely illiquid and blocked in client accounts.

Southey Capital is willing to purchase the below ETF fund positions and will work with sellers and their custodians to release what value remains.

It is not yet known what value if any may come of the securities that ETFs hold, however given the high risk of expropriation and lengthy time frame for a lifting of the sanctions, prices are reflective of a difficult market.
