Russia's strong economic growth, rapidly expanding domestic market and increasing Financial market liquidity has been fuel for rapidly expanding hedge funds and specialist investors in Russia and the former Soviet Union (FSU).

One such company is the Pharos Financial Group, which now runs three hedge funds, the Pharos Russia Fund, the Pharos Small Cap Fund, and the one-of-a-kind Pharos Gas Investment Fund.

Pharos has been Moscow based since 1997, making it one of one of the oldest Russian hedge funds, positioning it well for the new Russian market of 2008. The team has over 90 years of combined Russian and Western market experience. Their hedge fund strategy is long biased with shorting capability and has been stress tested with a track record featuring high returns with lower volatility.
