In the third quarter of 2025, retail investors deposited 872 billion rubles to brokerage accounts, which is 52% more than in the previous quarter. This is a record figure since the beginning of 2021, according to the materials of the Bank of Russia.
The regulator explains the interest in stock market instruments by lowering deposit rates against the background of a general easing of monetary conditions.
The assets of retail investors increased to 11.8 trillion rubles in the quarter from 11 trillion rubles. The number of clients with assets increased to 5.3 million from 5.1 million. The segment of clients with a portfolio of over 6 million rubles has significantly increased, where the number has grown 3 times faster than in the mass segment.
