    I think Russia is well worth having in a portfolio. Having said that, it is high risk high reward / loss.

    You could gain some exposure but diversify by going and emerging markets fund (with a percentage in Russia) or by using one of the BRIC funds (Brazil, Russia, India, China).

    As a personal note, I would have exposure to Latin America and the Far East before looking at Russia.

    Just make sure you understand the risks (political, currency etc) before investing.

    EDIT: Btw, anyone else think cordobez two posts are spam?

    Russia scares the hell out of me. I was over there a few weeks ago and the country is a basketcase. I just checked my portfolio and note I'm only 0.7% exposed to Russia ...
