Before buying investment products with an increased risk, private investors from October 1 must pass special tests on the understanding of such products in the brokers’ applications. Vedomosti interviewed the largest players about the results of the first month of testing.
Tinkoff Investments, the largest broker by the number of active clients (1.5 million, according to the Moscow Exchange, the total number of clients is 7 million), launched testing ahead of schedule – on September 20. During this time, 398,000 clients of the broker passed the tests, the total number of passed tests (both successful and unsuccessful) is 1.1 million. It does not correspond to the proportion of those who passed the tests, since the number of attempts to pass the tests is not limited. Thus, one Tinkoff client made an average of 2.7 attempts to pass the test. The share of successful passing of tests from the total number of attempts is 45%, the median value of those who passed the first time on all types of tests is 47.65%, says Dmitry Panchenko, director of Tinkoff Investments.
