The net asset value (NAV) of proprietary mutual funds created to implement investment strategies of financial experts — authors of popular Telegram channels — exceeded 100 million rubles. In July, the inflow into the funds demonstrated an 86% increase.
Author funds were launched by the Moscow Exchange Finuslugi marketplace and Alfa Capital Management Company in the spring of 2025. In April, three author funds were presented: Black Line managed by Nazar Shchetinin (the Vredny Investor Telegram channel), The Magnificent Seven by Ivan Kreynin (Investment Diary), and Matryoshka a la Rus by Konstantin Kudritsky (Ask Vasilich). In July, the line was expanded with the Bitcoin: Market Opportunities Fund fund by Evgeny Kogan.
The shareholders of the author's funds were clients from Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Tatarstan, Chelyabinsk and Krasnoyarsk. The main age category of shareholders of the author's funds is in the range from 30 to 50 years, while the oldest buyer of shares is 86 years old, and the youngest is 18 years old.
The average client bill is about 10,000 – 25,000 rubles, while on Finuslugi, transactions with author funds were mainly made by existing clients of the marketplace. The best yield dynamics for the period from April 21 to August 5, 2025 were shown by the Matryoshka a la Rus fund, where the value of the share increased by 11.8%.
Boris Blokhin, Managing Director for Stock Market and Digital Assets at Moscow Exchange:
“With the launch of funds managed by opinion leaders, our goal was to breathe new life into the collective investment market. Therefore, we are pleased to see how interest in author funds is growing, and we intend to continue to develop the line, offering investors even more opportunities and innovative capital management tools. Our team also strives to help opinion leaders create modern products that contribute to the development of the financial market.”
Elena Chikulaeva, Director of Strategy, Alfa Capital Management Company
"Overcoming the 100 million ruble mark in assets is an important milestone that demonstrates the high interest of investors in the innovative format of author funds and significant potential for further growth. The demand for the format confirms: it meets the needs of a modern investor who is looking for not just a financial instrument, but a ready-made strategy from an expert he trusts, in a regulated field. Alfa Capital plans to further expand the line of author funds through new bright names and promising investment strategies."
