  • London Stock Exchange Lists First Ukrainian Firms on Reconstruction Fund ETF
    April 29, 2026, 11:19 AM EDT. The London Stock Exchange's HANetf Ukraine Reconstruction UCITS ETF (UKRN) has added its first three Ukrainian firms: drone software maker Swarmer, telecom company Kyivstar, and iron ore producer Ferrexpo. The move aims to channel foreign investment directly to Ukraine's industrial giants amid a war economy starved of capital. Reconstruction costs exceed €420 billion, with Ukraine seeking broad international financial support. The ETF now offers investors exposure to domestic companies poised to drive postwar recovery, diverging from previous reliance on international firms with limited Ukrainian ties. This strategic inclusion signals maturing financial infrastructure and reinforces long-term incentives for investors to back Ukraine's economic revival through market growth rather than aid alone.
