“Investment management firm FinEx Group and the Moscow Exchange said they had launched Russia’s first gold-backed exchange-traded fund as part of a bid to turn Moscow into an international financial centre. The FinEx Physically Held Gold ETF fund, which has been listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and cross-listed on the Moscow Exchange, tracks the gold price as calculated using the London Gold Fixing Price, FinEx said. Shares will be available in U.S. dollars and roubles, it added.”
