Abstract: Cyprus is characterised by high property prices, low-yielding government bonds and a decreasing interest in the Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) after its crash in 2000. On the contrary, global investors exhibit increasing interest in Russian mutual funds. This paper examines if they could become an alternative investment for Cypriot investors, considering their high, stable returns and low risk. The results show significant gender, age, income and education differences in the investment profile of Cypriots and their attitude towards Russian mutual funds: Cypriots are provided with a worthwhile investment opportunity and Russian mutual fund managers are provided with an excellent target group.
