Как ПРАВИЛЬНО инвестировать в 2026 для пассивного дохода ✅ Дмитрий Кокорев

Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

Speaker / context

  • Interview with Dmitry Kokarev (12 years investing; started investing in 2014).
  • Focus: long-term investing aimed at capital growth + partial income, rather than relying on withdrawals early to “live fully” off passive income.

Key finance ideas & explicit frameworks

“Capital first, then optional passive income” (philosophy)

  • He does not aim to live only on passive income at age 25–35.
  • Preference: build assets that grow in price, so capital multiplies.
  • Practical “drip” example:
    • ~1,000,000 rub at roughly 15% yield ⇒ ~150,000 rub/year (≈ 12,000 rub/month).
  • Overall framing: investing as building liability–capital comfort while still working/learning.

Portfolio construction framework (barbell + diversification)

Barbell concept (Taleb-style)

  • Aggressive side: business / higher-growth assets.
  • Conservative side: bonds and safer instruments to insure capital during crises.
  • For entrepreneurs, he notes the conservative part is often missing; he recommends bonds as protection.

Example allocation for a moderate beginner (≈15-year horizon)

  • Target allocation

    • 60% bonds
    • 40% shares
  • Within bonds (later refinement)

    • ~30% ruble bonds
    • ~30% foreign-currency bonds
    • He discusses whether to include USD vs EUR vs “yuan”, expressing less preference for yuan exposure.
  • Liquidity sleeve (“pillow”)

    • 15–20% in a liquidity fund
    • Referenced yield around ~13–14% at the time of discussion
    • Purpose: buy during drawdowns.

Crisis management rules he emphasizes

  • Don’t predict the future; prepare for different scenarios.
  • Use a “pillow”/liquidity to buy during market declines (e.g., during drawdown when the MOEX index drops).
  • Avoid concentration:
    • He explicitly rejects 100% in a single asset, even with high conviction.

Specific instruments & tickers mentioned

Equities / companies

  • Sberbank (Sber)
  • T-Bank / Tinkoff (Tbank)
  • Gazprom
  • Surgutneftegas
  • Polus (Polyus Gold)
  • Novatek
  • SIBUR
  • Raspadskaya
  • T-technology
  • Mentions “Sber & Tbank” as examples of quality business and reporting.

ETFs / indices

  • MOEX index (used as a reference for market direction and drawdowns)

Bonds / rates / instruments

  • OFZs (ruble government bonds)
  • Corporate bonds (including later references to VDO / high-yield)
  • Foreign-currency bonds
  • Long OFZs; he discusses selling/buying around rate expectations.

Crypto

  • Bitcoin
  • Ether
  • Other altcoins / “small coins”, “ICO”

Crypto strategy split:

  • “Pension” portfolio: BTC + ETH (aggressive but concentrated in the largest coins)
  • A more aggressive “2nd briefcase”: smaller/high-risk coins

Key numbers, yields, valuation & rate concepts

Macro / FX & “fair value” view

  • Ruble/USD as an investing driver:
    • He cites ruble around 70–76 rub per USD (as stated).
    • Using a Fisher’s rule-style approach, he estimates a “fair” level around ~80 rub per USD.
  • Interpretation:
    • If USD/ruble is below fair (~80), he treats it as a signal to buy USD/FX assets.
  • Historical context:
    • In 2022, USD/RUB swings referenced around 50–60 and even ~45 earlier in 2022.
    • In 2023, ruble moved toward ~100 per USD; FX concerns remain a key theme.

Stock market valuation remarks (Russia “phenomenally cheap”)

  • He argues Russian stock prices can lag fundamentals.
  • Examples mentioned (approx./memory-based):
    • T-bank: discussed around ~8,000 rub, then later about ~800 rub (as an example of “extreme cheapness” vs fundamentals).
    • Sber: describes a period of stagnation despite earnings growth.
  • Valuation multiple:
    • For Sber, he cites P/E ~0.7 (stated as being below PBL only during 2008 in his narrative).

Company financial numbers (Sber)

  • Cites reported results:
    • “Second quarter report”: about 1 trillion rub earned in the first half.
    • Mentions ~2 trillion rub profit and ~+20% YoY (as described).

Passive income / yield targets

  • Bonds / yields:
    • Mentions ~15–16–17%, sometimes ~20% (general range).
  • Stock market yield claim:
    • Russian equities average ~15% per annum over about 20 years (his statement).
  • Liquidity fund:
    • Referenced yield around ~13–14%.

Withdrawal rate / spend vs leave

  • He rejects a strict, universal “withdrawal rate” as the main rule.
  • Sustainability framing:
    • targets roughly 2–3% in a ruble scenario for capital withdrawals (conceptually while leaving something behind).
  • Also referenced:
    • ruble bond yields ~8–9%
    • hopes for ~10% going forward.

Real estate yields

  • Rental profitability comparison:
    • suggests domestic rental yields around ~5–6% (he notes that exclusive deals may be higher).
  • He prefers foreign real estate partly to remain FX-linked and outside certain jurisdiction risks.

Crypto strategy details & risk lessons

Gains then severe loss

  • Entered crypto Oct–Nov 2017:
    • starting capital about ~89,000 rub
    • claims it multiplied roughly 3x by December.
  • Later ICO exposure:
    • example $2,000 → $8,000 in 4 days (“explosion”).
  • Major mistake:
    • sold an apartment and concentrated into crypto.
    • In Nov 2018, he claims a ~60% market fall and “lost almost everything.”

Lesson learned

  • Error: concentrated maximum risk exposure (one coin / too risky) and overestimated upside during mania.
  • Recovery took ~3 years.
  • Later bought back the apartment around 2021.

Explicit recommendations & cautions

For beginners / ordinary workers (“Nikita”)

  • He proposes defining:

    • Goal, timeframe, amount, risk profile
  • For a moderate investor with ~15-year horizon:

    • Use a brokerage account + IIA (ИИС) for tax benefits if holding > 5 years.
    • Example allocation: 60% bonds / 40% shares
    • Prefer:
      • high-rated OFZs / corporate bonds
      • For stocks: a stock index fund or “better stock fund” based on MOEX, plus selecting companies with:
        • low net debt
        • low “multiplier”
        • growing business

Against extreme behavior (“jumping between assets”)

  • Frequent switching (“jumping”) leads to confusion, emotional decisions, and can trigger leverage spirals.
  • He claims he saw cases like:
    • selling into declines
    • chasing opportunities to recoup
    • even pulling borrowed money and “selling apartment” outcomes.

Risk management via diversification

  • “No 100% shares” principle:
    • avoid situations where a -50% drawdown causes panic and forced selling.
  • He suggests structures that maintain liquidity and bonds, so you can buy during volatility.

FX stance

  • He expects long-term ruble depreciation (Fisher’s rule + inflation differential).
  • Therefore he gradually increases FX-denominated assets, viewing current USD/FX as cheap vs “fair value.”

VDO / high-yield bond caution

  • Discusses VDO (high-yield) bonds:
    • returns can be ~22–25% in his described portfolio.
    • warns about an “expected wave of defaults” risk, hoping it doesn’t hit his country/selection.
  • Diversification rule:
    • keep small position per issuer, citing max ~2% per issuer.

“Performance metrics” and real-world outcomes mentioned

  • Public investing (claimed):
    • Over 2 years, added about ~6.5 million rub
    • Produced about ~50,000 rub/month passive income (as stated).
  • Personal experience:
    • Crypto concentration loss: “lost almost everything” after selling an apartment (around the 2018 decline; recovery ~3 years).
