The stock market experienced a significant inflow of new funds, reaching a three-year high. By the end of 2024, retail investors had deposited nearly ₽1.8 trillion into brokerage accounts, with ₽0.7 trillion credited in the fourth quarter alone. A substantial portion of these funds came from qualified investors.
Throughout the year, the number of clients holding assets in their accounts increased to five million, with an average account value of ₽2.2 million.
The total value of retail investor portfolios grew from ₽9.2 trillion to ₽10.6 trillion over the year. There was strong demand for exchange-traded funds in the money market with daily income capitalization. Brokers’ clients viewed these funds as liquid and profitable instruments for temporary investments amid stock market uncertainty. Investments in bonds became less sensitive to interest rate changes due to an increase in floaters.
