In the past, the best alternative for those seeking to make bets on Russia's economy was to use a closed-end fund, Templeton Russia (NYSE: TRF). Unlike traditional mutual funds, Templeton Russia trades on the NYSE during market hours. Because the number of shares available for investors is limited, closed-end funds often trade at a premium or discount to the value of the stocks they own. In the case of popular funds, closed-ends can trade at hefty premiums for some time -- Templeton Russia has traded at premiums for most of the past three years, ranging as high as 40% as recently as December.
However, in response to news of the Van Eck offering, Templeton Russia's premium has virtually disappeared. While the fund's holdings have risen nearly 7% in value year to date, the price of fund shares has fallen almost 20% so far this year
