About a third (30%) of Russians have already opened an individual investment account (IIA) for savings, and 31% are still only interested in the possibilities of this instrument. This is evidenced by a survey of the financial market “Vyberu.ru”; A copy is in the possession of “socialbites.ca”.
21% of respondents used IIS for investment, while 9% opened an account in 2023 to secure favorable conditions for type 1 and 2 IIS. But only 6% will open a new type of IRA this year.
31% of survey participants do not have IIS but want to understand this tool and learn about its capabilities. At the same time, a third (33%) of respondents prefer a more traditional investment method, namely bank deposits.
“In January, the number of individuals with brokerage accounts exceeded 30.2 million, which is linked to the increased interest in IIS. In February, we recorded a 15 percent increase in visits to investment products departments compared to last year. However, deposits remain competitive with high rates,” he commented. General director of Vyberu.ru is Yaroslav Bajurak.
