Abstract:Following the negative effect of the sanctions on Russian stocks, eToro informed its customers it is delisting Magnit PJSC. eToro forced liquidated positions of Magnit, one of the largest supermarkets in Russia.
eToro liquidated Magnit at the end of Friday's session, paid traders $0.0124 per share.
Traders launched a petition against eToro's decision.
The broker released the following statement on its website:
All of the instruments that we offer for trading and investing on our platform are subject to the conditions in the underlying markets that they are based on. The continued availability of Russian based instruments is dependent on their availability on the world exchanges, and any international sanctions.
In addition, we *may* limit the ability to invest in any instrument on our platform based on our internal risk management considerations. This may include, but is not limited to, closing positions in certain instruments.
Currently, due to the *severe* lack of liquidity in the underlying markets and therefore what is available to eToro from our liquidity providers , it is necessary to remove $MGNTL.L (Magnit PJSC) from our platform. Please read the following carefully:
Any investment in $MGNTL.L that remains open at the end of business on Friday, March 4, 2022, will be closed at the last tradable rate in the market.
The value of the position at the time of closure will be returned to the account balance. 2. Due to the impact of the current geopolitical events on markets, we are reviewing the liquidity and our ability to continue offering the following stocks:
$OGZDL.L (Gazprom OAO)
$LKODL.L (Lukoil OAO)
$MNODL.L (MMC Norilsk Nickel OJSC)
$NVTKL.L (NOVATEK OAO)
$ROSNL.L (Rosneft OAO)
$SBERL.L (Sberbank of Russia)
$SVSTL.L (Severstal PAO)
