Ukraine: An Opportunity to be seized today:

The total Ukrainian stock market capitalization is approximately $16 Billion.  The largest publicly traded company, Ukrtelecom is valued at $3.4 Billion, a fraction of similar companies in other emerging countries. The market capitalization of about 10% of GDP is below that of many other transition economies.  The nascent nature of this capital market underscores the tremendous upside potential for investors.  Assets can be acquired through such financial instruments as shares, ADRs, convertible bonds, convertible participating bonds, share index bonds, bonds with warrants, subscription rights, paid subscription shares, and warrants.
