VanEck Russia Small-Cap ETF (RSXJ) focuses on small-cap companies in Russia, providing exposure to sectors such as energy, materials, and consumer goods. The ETF's competitive position is bolstered by its targeted investment strategy, which capitalizes on the growth potential of smaller, less-covered companies in the Russian market.
