It became known about the doubling of investor demand for bond funds

From December to January, the share of bond mutual funds in investors' portfolios more than doubled. This was reported by the BCS press service based on an analysis of inflows of investors' funds into mutual funds through the BCS World of Investments application.

The company attributes the dynamics to lower deposit rates following the key interest rate and increased volatility in the stock market: some investors are reallocating funds in favor of debt instruments with more predictable returns and risk levels. Investors are also shifting to bond funds from money market mutual funds, whose inflows have noticeably decreased over the month.

BCS places a separate focus on the strategy in long bonds: with expectations of further rate cuts, the investor potentially earns not only on coupons, but also on an increase in the price of government securities.

Against this background, BCS bond funds with a focus on long-term OFZs and quarterly payments have attracted more than 2.5 billion rubles since their launch in six months, the company stressed. As BCS experts explained, additional profitability is provided by reinvesting coupon receipts into money market instruments between payments.

Analysts also note the demand for diversification in corporate debt of large companies. The strategy focuses on investments in reliable ruble—denominated corporate issues, which allows you to assemble a wide bond portfolio in one instrument - a mutual fund.
