The notion of index-linked MIFs, as determined by Russian legislation, differs from the criteria which are applied abroad for purposes of recognizing investment strategies as index-linked. The main criteria of an index-linked MIF is the presence, in its portfolio, of exclusively those securities which are marked by the basic stock index, as well as the deviation, in the percentage value of each issue of securities within the total value of the MIFТs portfolio from the percentage value of a similar issue of securities within the aggregate capitalization value of the index-linked portfolio, by no more that 3%.

The index-linked funds in other countries are obliged to maintain the correlation value of their yields The coefficient that characterizes the degree of deviation of the changes in the prices of a given asset from the standard assetТs dynamics, e.g., that of the stock index.

with the basic index yield at the level of no less than 95%. As for the RSM, here the criterion for estimated efficiency of index-linked MIFsТ management is not the close correlation of their yields and the basic index, but strict compliance with the special requirements established for the composition and structure of the MIFsТ assets, which is by means a guarantee of yield correlation. Therefore, the yields of the investments in index-linked MIFsТ often does not differ from that of Уnon-index-linkedФ funds and has no close correlation to the yields on index investments (see Table 2).

In 2005 the yield on investments in the open MIF УKIT - MICEX indexФ (83.2%) were almost equal to the MICEX index yield (83.1%). At the same time, the yields on investments in the open-end MIF УAlor - MICEX indexФ (75.1%) were significantly deviant from the basic index yield - to a much higher degree than the yields of the Уnon-index-linkedФ MIF УAlfa-Kapital AktsiiФ. This is a vivid illustration of the existing necessity for developing appropriate targets that would enable investors in their orientation toward efficient index-linked strategies.

УOФ - an open-end MIF; УIФ - interval-linked MIF.

Table 3 shows data on the correlation of monthly and daily yields of all the index-linked MIFs with the MICEX and RTS indices in 2005, as well as throughout the whole period of the funds being in operation. Analyzing the correlation of the open MIFsТ yields with the basic yield index not only on a monthly, but also on a daily basis is important for investors in such funds, who have the right to demand the redemption of their stakes in index-linked MIF on any working day.

MICEX index 4. 1.00 0.99 1.00 0.90 1.00 0.97 1.00 0.Source:based on data provided by MIFsТ asset managers and stock exchanges Based on the data in Table 3, a number of regularities can be singled out in the sphere of investments in MIFs:

1) in the majority of non-index-linked MIFs of shares, their yield correlation coefficient with the MICEX and RTS indices does not differ significantly, and in some instances is even higher than the same parameter of index-linked MIFs;

2) in 6 of the 7 open-end MIFs, the correlation level of their daily yields with the RTS is higher than that with the MICEX index, despite the latter being the basic index for these MIFsТ portfolios;

3) the correlation level of the daily yields of all the 5 non-index-linked MIFs with the RTS index was also found to be higher than that with the MICEX index;

4) the monthly yields of index-linked MIFs is more closely correlated with the MICEX index yield that with the RTS index.

The high correlation level of the MICEX and RTS indices with the yields of index-linked and nonindex-linked MIFs reflects the limited opportunities for the creation of diversified portfolios on the RSM by means of incorporating in these portfolios Blue Chips with various beta coefficients. The reasons were discussed earlier.

The higher correlation level of daily yields on the investments in MIFs (index-linked and shares) with the RTS index, as compared to the MICEX index, has been predetermined by the peculiarities of calculating the MIFsТ net asset value, as well as the specific procedures applied for calculating the stock indices and pricing on the RTS and MICEX.

The computation of the NAV of the MIFs and stock indices implied the application of market prices of the shares constituting the MIFsТ assets or the index portfolio. However, the methods for determining market process when making the computations in respect to these portfolios are significantly different. In accordance with Paragraphs 11.2 and 12 of the Provision concerning the procedure and timelines for determining the net asset value of joint-stock investment funds, the net asset value of mutual investment funds, the estimated value of investment units in mutual investment funds, as well as the net asset value of joint-stock investment funds per one share, approved by Order of the RF Federal Service for Financial Markets (FSFM) of 15 June 2005 No 05-21/pz-n, the NAC of a MIF is to be determined on the basis of the estimated value of its constituent securities. As estimated value, the recognized quotation is applied, that is, the average weighted price in the transactions effectuated in respect to a given security during one day of trading on condition that the number of such transactions is no less than 10. For computing the RTS index, the market share value is recognized as the price in the last transaction effectuated in respect to a given share, as seen by the results of a trading session (the RTS index price). The methodology for calculating the MICEX index implies the application, as a shareТs market price, its current average weighted price as calculated by the last 10 transactions effectuated in respect to a given security (the MICEX index price).

Table 4 contains the data characteristic of the synchronism of changes in the recognized quotations being applied for computing the MIFsТ net asset value, as well as the RTS and MICEX index prices, for 6 issues of shares with the highest liquidity28.

This is a clear evidence of the fact that the higher synchronization of the changes in estimated value of stakes in index-linked MIFs with the changes in the RTS index than that with the the MICEX index In 2005, these six issues of shares amounted, on the average, to 65% and 78% of general capitalization of stock in terms of the RTS index and the MICEX index, respectively.

(which serves as a basic one for these funds), as demonstrated in Table 3, can be explained by the closer correlation of the RTS index process with the recognized quotations of shares applied for estimating the NAV of MIFs.

Why is the correlation of the changes in average weighted prices of shares with the changes in the RTS index prices higher than that with the index MICEX prices The answer to this question is provided by the different principles being applied to the pricing of the same issues of shares by the RTS and the MICEX.

Fig. Source: calculated on the basis of the data published by the stock exchanges As shown on the chart, the majority of transactions with УLUKoilФТs shares on the RTS and the LSE were effectuated when their prices on the MICEX were changing by $ 0.0625 per one share. The consequence of such trading strategies being applied is that the transaction prices on the>

RTS prices become closer to average weighted prices than do the MICEX index prices. These differences are leveled in monthly results, and therefore the yields on investments in the index-linked MIFs under study are found to be closer to the MICEX index yields, as compared to the RTS index.

Table 5 demonstrates the yields on and the risks (or volatility) of investments, as shown by the RTS index and the MICEX index during the last 5 years.

In the period of 2001-2005, the investments in the RTS index were characterized by higher yield/risk ratios than those of the MICEX index.

Thus, our analysis has shown the presence of a more stable correlation of the yields on the portfolios held by index-linked MIFs and share MIFs with the RTS index yields, as compared to the same parameter of the MICEX index.
