❝After the conference, we became even more optimistic about the collective investment market. So, the changes that were planned for implementation in the near future became obvious, including the new composition and the structure of the Unit Investment Trust, the definition of qualified/unqualified investors. A lot of attention has been paid to establishing the risk management system in companies and direct linking of its quality to the scope of regulatory supervision. Specialized self-regulated organizations are gaining an increasing role in the market, so the management companies and the regulatory agencies have high expectations of them. A lot of attention will be paid to the financial sustainability of collective investment market players and equity investment strategies. Again, there was a question of engaging Deposits Insurance Agency in investors insurance similar to the deposit insurance in banks. According to conference participants, this measure would allow taking a course towards developing investors’ confidence in the stock and collective investment market❞, — said Dmitry Tselischev.
