Over the course of the year, retail investors deposited 2.5 trillion rubles into their brokerage accounts. This is almost 1.5 times more than in 2024, setting a record for the past four years. The bulk of this inflow came from qualified investors, whose number approached 1 million.

The number of clients with assets over 10,000 rubles increased from 4.9 million to 5.5 million over the year. The fastest growth rates are in the segment of the wealthiest investors with portfolios of 1 million rubles and above.

Total retail investor assets reached 12.3 trillion rubles, up 16% year-on-year. This was due to a record influx of new funds into brokerage accounts and rising bond prices.

Against the backdrop of declining interest rates, retail investors opted for fixed-coupon corporate bonds and long-term OFZs. The share of debt securities in their overall portfolios increased from 32% to 38% over the year. Meanwhile, the share of stocks declined from 30% to 25%.
