currently there is a ban on foreigners trading Russian securities, however since JRS is an investment trust, and not an open ended fund they are not required to buy or sell. I checked their PF as of 31/01/22 and they have minimal exposure to ADR's/GDR's which are suspended. Most of what they hold is Russian listed and given that shareholders voted to continue the fund after Russia invaded the Ukraine, them we must assume they plan to ride this out.
In Sterling terms the value of Russian equities has fallen 50% odd since 31/01/22.
What was considered fair value a week ago need to be updated to a fairer value otherwise they are creating a 'false market1
