Investing in Russian Stocks
For the longest time, there hasn't been a lot of demand for russian equities. The inflation in the country has come down dramatically. There's about eight million open retail accounts in russia out of population of a hundred 20 million people. You can buy berbank stock and get a six % dividend,. So you have a segment of a population that is not huge, but is increasingly, its growing.
Hey guys! This week’s guest is Steve Gorelik, he is a portfolio manager at Firebird Asset Management. I first met Steve at VALUEx Vail 2019 and today he is going to give us a crash course on Investing Eastern Europe. He shares how his investing journey started, the cultural differences that he notices between the west and Eastern Europe, why you can find world class businesses in Eastern Europe, the future of the Russian Stock Market, the geopolitical differences between Russia vs China and last but not least he introduces us to 5 different companies located in different countries inside Eastern Europe such as Banca Transilvania located in Romania, Kaspi located in Kazakhstan, Georgia Capital based in Georgia, Yandex and Moscow Exchange located in Russia.

Mitimco
This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company -- also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests with a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. In order to help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created emergingmanagers.org, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.
For those looking to start a stock-picking fund, or those just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers and more.
