«Ukrainian Portfolio» at the London Stock Exchange

Analytical review of seven companies from the real sector that concentrate their main business and investments in Ukraine and trade their securities on the London Stock Exchange:​ ​Ukrproduct Group Ltd, ​MHP SA, ​AvangardCo Investment Public Ltd, ​Cadogan Petroleum PLC, ​Regal Petroleum PLC, ​Ferrexpo PLC, and ​Arricano Real Estate PLC​.​ ​The paper presents the dynamics of prices for companies’ securities and an analysis of their key financial indicators.

It is shown that companies identified as having strong potential based on their performance indicators in 2011, experienced considerable volatility during the past five years, and by the end of 2015, many reached critical difficulties. This is evidence of the systemic problems in the development of Ukraine’s real sector economy. These conclusions show that there is a strong need for a serious and systematic work at the governmental level to improve the business climate in Ukraine, create favourable conditions for the development of the real sector and attract direct investment.​
