Indian investors granted access to trading in Russian securities for the first time.
Sova Capital, a London-based emerging markets broker-dealer, announces it has concluded an agreement whereby it will offer members of India INX and their clients access to the Russian market. The partnership will create a cost-effective bridge for Indian investors to access trading on Moscow Exchange (MOEX), Russia’s main trading venue for equities, bonds, derivatives, FX and money markets.

Today markets are integrated and India INX, as an offshore exchange, has made the first but critically important step by offering unified marketplace that provides access to global markets directly from India.
