Cumulative inflows to Russian stocks from all categories of funds amounted to $ 290 million, the best result since January 2020. “We continue to view the market as overheated, but expect strong dynamics to continue amid such high inflows,” the company said in a statement. The inflow of foreign investors' funds into the Russian market intensified at the end of December.
