How investing works in Russia
Shares in Russia trade on the Moscow Exchange. To buy them you need a broker that is able to trade on that exchange, and you pay in RUB.
The regulator is the Bank of Russia. It licenses brokers and publishes the rules for listed companies, so checking that a broker is registered with it is the first step.
Before you invest, read the rules for foreign investors in Russia: some markets limit who may buy, and some restrict how money leaves the country. Our guide on foreign investor rules covers what to check.
Prices are quoted in RUB. If you live in another currency, a move in the exchange rate can change your return even when the share price does not move. See currency risk for foreign stocks.
