Bank of Russia will appreciate, how popular are mutual investment funds (MIF) among investors, from what sources do they get information about funds, and whether they are satisfied with the amount of information disclosed.

The collective investment sector is one of the most dynamically developing in Russia. A mutual fund is the most convenient financial instrument for an investor, including a beginner. The investment process is simple: a future shareholder transfers his funds to a fund managed by a management company. A professional manager invests the received resources in various assets: securities, real estate, infrastructure projects and other instruments. The entry ticket to a mutual fund is small – you can start investing with just 5 rubles on hand.

In order to increase interest in such an instrument, the Bank of Russia intends to analyze what sources an investor uses to obtain information about a mutual fund, how convenient and understandable such a financial instrument is. This will allow the regulator to further create conditions for increasing the availability of information for a wide range of investors and increase the attractiveness of investments in mutual funds.

The Bank of Russia published report, where he identified possible scenarios for the development of the retail mutual fund market.
