Russian investors opened 92.5 thousand individual investment accounts of the third type in October - the maximum since December 2025. The number of new IIS-3 was 31.6% higher than the September level and 41% higher compared to October last year. The increase in the number of accounts was accompanied by an influx of money: net receipts for the month reached 43 billion rubles.
The Moscow Stock Exchange notes that now every fourth ruble is sent to the exchange through individual investment accounts. This makes IIS a significant channel for the flow of private funds into investment instruments, and not just a way to obtain tax benefits.
Such an increase in demand is unusual for autumn. In the stock market, this is also related to tax factors, but the statistics also show a broader result: Russians not only opened accounts more actively, but also increased the volume of investments. October's most notable result was a simultaneous acceleration of IIS-3 registration and real cash flow.
