Key features

  • The only UK retail investment trust to focus on Russia.
  • Native Russian fund manager supported by Global Emerging Markets Team.
  • High concentrated, aggressive portfolio.

Key risks

  • Investing in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due to political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems, and may be illiquid.
  • Exchange rate changes may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to be volatile.
  • Investments in smaller companies may involve a higher degree of risk as these are usually more sensitive to price movements.
  • Investment trusts may utilise gearing which will exaggerate market movements both down and up which could mean sudden and large falls in value. For further details, please refer to the trust's annual report and accounts.
