Moscow, Russia — 27 August 2020.

Tinkoff Capital, a management company, announces the launch of Russia’s first exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the Nasdaq^®-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), a subset of the Nasdaq^®-100 index that is comprised of the top Nasdaq-listed technology companies by market cap. Additionally, Tinkoff Capital product range will now include two more ETFs that can be used to make investments without any extra charges.

Tinkoff customers will be able to buy shares in the Tinkoff Gold, Tinkoff iMOEX and Tinkoff Nasdaq^® Technology ETFs in just one click. Investors will have access to assets denominated in roubles and US dollars, while still enjoying the key strengths of Tinkoff funds — low entry threshold, full transparency of transactions and no brokerage or depository fees. Last December, Tinkoff Capital became first in Russia to launch exchange-traded funds and indices based on a permanent portfolio strategy. Since then, the funds' assets have reached RUB 7 bn.

Tinkoff Nasdaq^® Technology ETF

Tinkoff will be launching the Tinkoff Nasdaq^® Technology ETF, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq^®-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT). NDXT is an equal weighted index based on the securities of the Nasdaq^®-100 Index that are classified as technology companies.

Tinkoff customers are the first in Russia to enjoy access to the world’s most innovative technology companies through the purchase of a single security. The minimum entry threshold is just over 8 cents.

The average annual calendar year price returns on the Nasdaq^®-100 Technology Sector Index totals between 16.5% and 17.5%.

Tinkoff Gold

USD-denominated ETF listed on the Moscow Exchange that invests in gold bars via the shares of iShares Gold Trust. The bars are stored in special vaults in London, Toronto and New York. Now, Tinkoff customers have a convenient and effective way to protect their assets from inflation by adding physical gold to their portfolio.

The average annual return on iShares Gold Trust in USD since 1990 is 4.5%, while the threshold is 8 cents, the same as for Nasdaq^®.

Tinkoff iMOEX

Rouble-denominated ETF tracking the Moscow Exchange’s iMOEX Index. The fund includes Russia’s largest public companies spearheading the country’s economic growth. It is possible to invest in the entire Russian stock market at once, with a minimum threshold of RUB 5.

The average annual return on the Moscow Exchange index in RUB since 1997 is 18%.

Tinkoff customers can trade shares of the new funds through Tinkoff Investments free of charge, paying only for the funds’ expenses (fees of the management company, depository, registrar and exchange). These funds’ expenses are included in the shares’ value on the exchange and are not charged separately. They account for 0.74% and 0.79% of the average annual net assets value for Tinkoff NASDAQ and Tinkoff iMOEX, respectively.

The shares of the new funds will be traded on the Moscow Exchange. Tinkoff Capital customers can manage their assets online: buying and selling ETFs and customer service are available in the Tinkoff Investments mobile app or Tinkoff.ru online account.
