Path to a distribution

Unlocking is a chain, not a single decision

The removal of one sanction is not enough. Funds must pass every legal and operational gate.

RSX and RSXJ trading halted

The exchange suspended secondary trading after access to Russian assets was lost.

Delisting and initial distributions

The funds distributed available liquidity and retained the unsold securities.

Securities moved to local registrars

Decree No. 840 added another operational layer to confirming ownership rights.

Sales and fund transfers remain restricted

VanEck reports no material change that would allow the assets to be sold.

Authorization → sale → conversion → distribution

All four steps must become legally and operationally possible.

1Authority to sellregulatory risk
2Access to assetscustody risk
3RUB → USD conversionoperational risk
4Transfer of proceedsoperational risk
5Distribution through DTCCoperational risk

Methodology

We show the assumptions, not an answer.

RSXValue matches VanEck-disclosed positions to locally traded securities, including seven separately labelled depositary-receipt proxies with verified conversion ratios. It converts their gross look-through value into dollars and applies user-selected assumptions.
