ENR Russia Invest’s net asset value rose 17% over the first quarter of 2006 and is up 43% as compared with the first quarter of 2005. We are satisfied with this performance re- flecting the management’s efforts to achieve a steady, risk- adjusted return to investors in what has historically been a volatile investment environment. In early 2006 Russian assets benefited from a highly condu- cive external environment; including the sustained strength of commodity prices, Asian growth drivers and global liquidity. Foreign portfolio inflows reached record levels over the first quarter, easily surpassing total inflows for the full 12 months of 2005 (which was itself was a banner year.). The rebalancing of Russia within the highly influential MSCI Emerging Market indices further fanned foreign investor enthusiasm. Russia’s country weightings in the index now matches China and South Africa, trailing only Taiwan and Korea. Meanwhile Gazprom, (already one of the world’s largest companies in terms of market capitalization, rivalling Microsoft Corp, General Electric and Exxon) has become the single largest emerging market company ahead of Samsung Electronics. Abundant liquidity, both foreign and domestic, translated into rapid price appreciation, particularly in the oil and gas sectors. However, a sudden reversal of risk tolerance (itself brought on by concerns over higher global inflation and rising interest rates), led to a significant withdrawl of portfolio funds in the second quarter. In turn this brought on a wave of redemption driven selling. Price volatility is nothing new to the Russian market. Over the past 24 months the equity index has corrected no fewer then seven times, each by more then 10% (including a 20% share price fall in the spring of 2005). Following each of these cor- rections the market has recovered to new highs. Interestingly, unlike previous market declines, trading volumes have remai- ned high. Russian domestic mutual funds have consistently reported net inflows in spite of market conditions. Overall share valuations are not high with market’s price to earning ratio’s in single digits and corporate earnings expanding 15- 20% annually. On the macro-economic level we expect Rus- sian GDP to grow by between 5%-7% this year, even adjusting for the possibility for lower oil prices. Furthermore, Russia’s fiscal position is rock solid with no net-debt and a large bud- get surplus.

ENR Russia Invest’s net asset value rose 17% over the first quarter of 2006 and is up 43% as compared with the first quarter of 2005. We are satisfied with this performance re-flecting the management’s efforts to achieve a steady, risk-adjusted return to investors in what has historically been a volatile investment environment.

In early 2006 Russian assets benefited from a highly condu-cive external environment; including the sustained strength of commodity prices, Asian growth drivers and global liquidity. Foreign portfolio inflows reached record levels over the first quarter, easily surpassing total inflows for the full 12 months of 2005 (which was itself was a banner year.). The rebalancing of Russia within the highly influential MSCI Emerging Market indices further fanned foreign investor enthusiasm. Russia’s country weightings in the index now matches China and South Africa, trailing only Taiwan and Korea. Meanwhile Gazprom, (already one of the world’s largest companies in terms of market capitalization, rivalling Microsoft Corp, General Electric and Exxon) has become the single largest emerging market company ahead of Samsung Electronics.

Abundant liquidity, both foreign and domestic, translated into rapid price appreciation, particularly in the oil and gas sectors. However, a sudden reversal of risk tolerance (itself brought on by concerns over higher global inflation and rising interest rates), led to a significant withdrawl of portfolio funds in the second quarter. In turn this brought on a wave of redemption driven selling.

Price volatility is nothing new to the Russian market. Over the past 24 months the equity index has corrected no fewer then seven times, each by more then 10% (including a 20% share price fall in the spring of 2005). Following each of these cor-rections the market has recovered to new highs. Interestingly, unlike previous market declines, trading volumes have remai-ned high. Russian domestic mutual funds have consistently reported net inflows in spite of market conditions. Overall share valuations are not high with market’s price to earning ratio’s in single digits and corporate earnings expanding 15-20% annually. On the macro-economic level we expect Rus-sian GDP to grow by between 5%-7% this year, even adjusting for the possibility for lower oil prices. Furthermore, Russia’s fiscal position is rock solid with no net-debt and a large bud-get surplus. Indeed government’s financial resources have ballooned over the past 12 months with the stabilization fund expected to reach $75-$85bn by year-end (an equivalent to 10% of GDP).
