By GlobalDataThe new funds follow the launch of the GPB Emerging Europe Equities Fund in January 2014.
Aylin Suntay, CEO of Gazprombank Asset Management, said: "We have further commitments of an additional USD 45m to be invested during Q2 2014. With the significant valuation discount in the Russian market, we believe that now is the right time to launch new products and we are confident that they will both prove to be successful investments."
