NEPTUNE RUSSIA & GREATER RUSSIA

The performance has been outstanding since launch, though, of course, it should have been as the Russian Stock Market and economy have boomed.  There remains much long term potential in Russia, and valuations are not expensive, largely due to perceived political risk.  Buy if you can see beyond the latter. Neptune have built a strong track record with such focussed single country funds.

Undoubtedly higher risk, not just because of the single country focus, but also due to the political risks, with many negative historical precedents (some relatively recent).  It should not represent more than 5% of your portfolio, and even then be part of a more diversified exposure to emerging markets in your portfolio. Don't overlook the more comfortable proposition of monthly investment (in which case contact us for the paperwork, as this can't be done online).
