Over the third quarter of 2024, the net inflow of funds into brokerage accounts reached ₽476 billion, marking the highest level since the end of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by qualified investors.
The growth in brokers' client base was minimal, attributed to high deposit rates and a significant expansion of the base over recent years. Meanwhile, investor activity on the stock market remained robust, with an average of 3.8 million people per month conducting transactions on the Moscow Exchange.
Exchange-traded funds in the money market were the most sought-after instruments among both new and seasoned investors. Corporate bonds, including variable rate bonds, also attracted significant interest.
Despite this notable inflow of funds, brokers' overall portfolio of client assets saw only a slight increase from ₽9.4 trillion to ₽9.6 trillion due to lower prices.
