Belarusian Bonds Included in a Russian Investment Fund for the First Time

For the first time in the history of Russian collective investment market, corporate bonds of a Belarusian issuer were acquired and included in the unit investment fund.

INFINITUM was the first Russian depository to open in 2008 a correspondent account with the Central Depository of the Republic of Belarus for a specific transaction. In view of the current interest of Russian institutional investors in the Belarusian bond market, INFINITUM Asset Services together with Belarusian infrastructural institutions has spent several months to make arrangements to bring all processes and documents in line with their status in 2014. In order to give Russian companies an opportunity to buy Belarusian securities through OTC trading, all necessary modifications were introduced.
