H2O Asset Management has defended an outsized bet on the Russian rouble that has left its investors with substantial losses, telling them it does not expect Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to develop into a lengthy conflict.

Its flagship Multibonds is now down 40 per cent from the middle of February, having lost 9.5 per cent in a single day on Monday, as the rouble continued to slide against the dollar.
Multibonds had exposure to the Russian rouble through derivatives that were equivalent to over 48 per cent of its €1.9bn in assets on January 31, just weeks before Russian tanks crossed the border into Ukraine.
