IIS: strategies and nuances: what can you buy in an IIS and how to choose?

Answer

Choosing instruments for an Individual Investment Account requires a balanced approach, as certain legislative restrictions apply to it. To avoid disappointment in investment results, avoid extremes: do not overestimate expectations for ultra-realistic returns and do not invest all funds into a single risky asset. Leave enough room for a comfortable life by not investing your last remaining money, which you might need in the near future for current expenses.

It is recommended to track your investment progress using small checkpoint milestones, checking the portfolio's state once a quarter. This approach allows you to notice deviations from the chosen strategy in a timely manner and adjust the asset composition without unnecessary emotional stress. When forming a portfolio in an Individual Investment Account, investors have access to a wide variety of stock market instruments.

To successfully fund the account and reduce the overall portfolio risk, the following sequence of actions is recommended.

•Determine your acceptable risk level and investment horizon, matching them against the minimum three-year lifespan of the account.
•Include reliable federal loan bonds in the portfolio, which are suitable for obtaining the type-one deduction and provide a stable, predictable income.
•Add shares of stable Russian companies from high dividend yield sectors to protect capital from inflation and achieve additional growth.
•Consider purchasing shares of exchange-traded mutual funds (BPIF/ETF), which automatically provide broad diversification across dozens of different issuers.
•Regularly rebalance the portfolio by selling assets that have risen in price and buying those that have dropped in order to maintain the initially specified risk-return ratio.
