Russian Fund Forum

Did you know that Russia is attracting investment again?

A recent report by EPFR Global mentioned that in January 2012, investment funds focusing on Russia experienced an inflow of $43 million. Chris Weafer, a strategist at Troika Dialog, commented that this follows a trend of investors putting money into Russian assets that are part of larger emerging market funds: "They have increased their Russian assets over the last three weeks, with the inflow reaching $133 million, or 0.27 percent of the amount under management".

In this uncertain economic and political environment, gaining access to the latest data, deals and decision-makers in Russia and worldwide is more vital than ever.

For this reason, the much-anticipated RUSSIAN FUND FORUM (RFF) 2012 will bring together more than 180 high-profile CEOs and CIOs from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, fund distributors, fund buyers, asset managers and wealth managers from around the world, to build partnerships with their peers and to get updates on the latest developments in the investment management business in Russia. Accredited with having “the best contacts in the industry”, the RFF is a must attend event that provides profitable deal-making and networking opportunities!

To facilitate the deal-making process, we invite anyone who is looking to meet institutional investors, fund distributors and fund buyers to join our brand new networking formats at this event - visit www.RussianFundForum.com to learn more.
