Vostok Emerging Finance Scarcity value with upside potential

VEF offers rare access to: 1) leading VC fintech companies in emerging markets; and 2) a strong NAV value creation track record. We see several potential NAV catalysts by 2021e that could make investors more confident in the medium-term NAV growth prospects. Although it is not a low-risk investment, we like the investment opportunity evolving in VEF and initiate coverage with a fair value of SEK2.6–4.2/share.
