In April to June, the net inflow of funds to brokerage accounts exceeded 1 trillion rubles, which is 19% more than the previous quarter. This is a record value since observations began in 2021. Almost two-thirds of the amount of funds were contributed by qualified investors.

In the context of gradually decreasing deposit rates, retail investors have switched to long-term OFZs and medium-term bonds of high-rated companies. They bought the securities to lock in coupon yields. However, after the market’s expected trajectory of the key rate increased, investors noticeably increased the share of corporate floaters and units of bond funds focusing on floating rate securities in their portfolios.

Despite the decline of the MOEX Index, brokerage clients actively purchased shares of Russian issuers. However, these purchases could not offset the negative revaluation of the securities. As a result, the share of stocks in investors’ asset structure decreased to 20%.

The total volume of assets in investors’ brokerage accounts has reached 13.6 trillion rubles.
