If someone would have invested in iShares MSCI Russia ETF before the war in Ukraine, they would have lost 90% of their investment because the fund was liquidated by Blackrock at one of it's lowest points.
My question is, was there anyway around this? If someone would have invested in a different ETF that tracks the Russian Market, or in individual Russian stocks/ADR's, would they have been better off?
Let's say it's 2021 and an investor knows there is the possibility of a war, but he still believes in the Russian market in the long run and wants to invest in it, what would be their best option?
I'm asking because I was considering investing in the Chinese Market (possibly via iShares MSCI China UCITS ETF) but I don't want to be faced with the same problem in case a war with China breaks out.
