We often hear about investing in Russia and how there are incredible opportunities despite the fact that the market has surged so much.

However, the key question is always trying to understand how to take advantage of this and in what companies to invest: investors are always skeptical about transparency, accessibility, political risk and corruption amongst other things. Wouldn’t it be better to hedge your bets and follow a basket of the top Russia publicly traded companies?

One of the best ways to tackle this investment could be through and ETF: take a look at Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX). Despite a very good performance so far, in has recently pulled back a little and certainly has more room to grow, without charging ‘crazy’ fees – the expense ration is 0,69%, which is very reasonable for this kind of ETF.
