How Russia ETFs Work?

Several different Russia ETFs are available in the market which invest in the stocks of the companies based in Russia, and are a part of the underlying benchmark equity index belonging to the Russian stock markets. A variety of Russia-specific ETFs exists - one can find ETFs that focus on the overall broader Russian markets, sector-specific Russian ETFs, leveraged Russian ETFs which magnify the returns by a given factor, and even inverse Russia ETFs (also called Bear Russia ETFs) which provide inverse returns as compared to the underlying benchmark index.
However, investors should be aware of the risk factors that come with such international exposure. Such ETFs carry foreign currency risk, and those international transactions can also lead to higher expense ratios for these Russian ETFs.
