No politics please.
I (American) own ERUS ishares that stopped trading in 2022 when the conflict started. I have no problem holding the assets for ever or even let a Russian fiduciary hold it for me in “frozen” status until things settle down. Im sure in in 10+ years things will settle down and trading commence again.
What I do not want however (which is currently happening) is Blackrock force liquidating, especially now where it cannot be traded, its essentially an almost 100% loss. So if had $100,000 invested your liquidation will be like $50. I would be okay with Blackrock dissolving but if they offered for example each holder gets a non-tradable right to their share of the proceeds that expires in the year 2099 or whenever the last share is sold – or some other options to redeem the proceeds in a Russian brokerage.
Anyone aware of any options?
