The income level has been specified as an independent criterion for obtaining the status of a qualified investor: it must be at least 12 million rubles per year over the past 2 years. In combination with other criteria – complicated testing, education or an academic degree – the requirement is reduced to 6 million rubles. Income from the sale of real estate will not be taken into account. Such parameters are defined inindication Bank of Russia, which was registered by the Ministry of Justice.
According to the educational criterion, instead of the current requirement for higher economic education, a list of specialties and areas of training is established, including in combination with the income or property criterion. Thus, a person can become a qualified investor if he received an education in the specialty "Accounting, Analysis and Audit" or "Taxes and Taxation" and his average annual income is 6 million rubles. International certificates, which are already used as requirements for investment advisers, have been added to the list of certificates taken into account when recognizing an investor as qualified.
The parameters of the property criterion have not changed: now the minimum amount of assets that a person must own is 12 million rubles, and from January 1, 2026, it will increase to 24 million rubles. But in combination with other criteria, the requirements will be 2 times less – 6 million and 12 million rubles, respectively.
The regulation will come into force on July 28, 2025.
