In terms of capitalization, as of February 28, the top five leaders of the domestic stock market were: УGazpromФ Ф(RUR 7 403.7 bln), УSberbank of RussiaФ Russia (RUR 2 068.0 bln), УRosneftФ (1 928.9 bln), УLUKOILФ (RUR 1 537.5 bln), УRAO UES of RussiaФ (RUR 1 163.7 bln).

Futures and options market In February 2008 the investorsТ activity in the MICES futures and options market has somewhat decreased (over 20 per cent) as compared with the preceding month. Thus, in that period the total turnover in the MICEX futures market amounted to approximately RUR 196.18 bln (708 transactions, 7.5 mln of contracts) against about RUR 253.25 bln (513 transactions, 10.2 mln of contracts) in January 2008.

An adverse situation was observed in the RTS futures market, where the investorsТ activity in February has expressly increased (nearly by 30 per cent) as compared with the preceding month. Thus, in the period from January 29, 2008 through February 28, 2008, the total turnover in the RTS futures and options market amounted to approximately RUR 1 238.7 bln (2200 thousand of transactions, 21.1 mln of contracts) against about RUR 954.6 bln (1449 thousand of transactions, 15.5 mln of contracts) in December.

The greatest demand, as before, was for futures: the volume of trading in futures in the period under review was RUR 1 041.2 bln (2 142 thousand of transactions, 17.4 mln of contracts). Options enjoyed a far lower demand, with the volume of trading at about RUR 24.9 bln (58 thousand of transactions and 3.7 mln LUKoil Tatneft Rosneft Gazprom Russia Mosenergo Rostelecom Sberbank of Gazprom neft GMK NotNikel Surgutneftegas RAO UES Russia of contracts). The highest level of trading in the RTS futures market was RUR 83.2 bln (as of February 12), the lowest level was RUR 38.5 bln (as of February18).

Corporate bond market In February there was noted a decline in quotations of securities, traded in the corporate debt market. The negative factor was a wait-and-see attitude of investors in the market.. However, though the number of placed issues amounted to 14 (against 2 in January), an explicit decline in investorsТ activity was noted over the month (practically twice lower as compared with preceding month).

From January 28, 2008 through February 22, 2008 the price index of corporate bonds, traded on MICEXhas decreased by 0.61 points (by 0.56 per cent), as well as the index of the ten most liquid corporate bonds, which downgraded by 1.39 points (- 1.19 per cent) (see Fig. 5). Within that period the total turnover in MICEX corporate bond sector amounted to RUR 47.96 bln with an average daily turnover of RUR 2.40 bln (about RUR 85.5 bln with an average daily turnover of RUR 4.58 bln in the relevant period of January), what demonstrated an explicit downward trend in the investorsТ activity within the month.

Dynamics of corporate bond indices 122,ZETBI-Corp ZETBI-Corp120,118,116,114,112,110,108,External factors behind Russian stock market dynamics In February the Russian financial market dynamics was dependant on the situation in the world financial markets, characterized by a mitigated negative trend upon an explicit downward trend in external financial markets, observed in January. As a result, an explicit decline in the stock market and global stock indices, provoked by the negative news on financial performance of the top global financial companies, as well as the new signs of recession in the US economy, was replaced by some growth of indices and greater activity of investors in the stock market. Additional positive factor for the Russian stock market was oil prices growth in the world market in mid-February (which has exceeded USD 100 per barrel). The oil prices growth was urged by further USD downgrading, investorsТ fears of expected fuel supplies from Venezuela and Nigeria, as well as a fire in one of Texas refineries and cold season in the United States.

Therefore, despite the downfall of the majority of the global indices in February as compared with the indicators of the beginning of 2008, there was observed some growth of the basic world stock indices in February against the indicators of the end of January 2008 (see Table 1 and Fig. 6).

The calculation was based on indices of corporate bonds traded on MICEX. The indices were produced by the Zenit bank.

Investment of pension savings in the system of mandatory pension insurance in the first three quarters L. Mikhailov, L. Sychiova The reserves within the funded component of the mandatory pension system are evolving at a very dynamic rate, which is natural for an early phase of the systemТs development. The highest growth rate of pension savings was observed in independent pension funds (IPF). In the government asset managerТs (VneshekonombankТs) investment portfolio the share of securities was diminishing, while the funds on the accounts of credit institutions were increasing. In the structure of investments held by private asset managers (PAM), a diminishing share of government securities and a simultaneously increasing share of corporate bonds have been very noticeable. The rate of return displayed by the leading PAMs in Q III 2007 became markedly lower.

In the first three quarters of 2007, the value of assets in the mandatory funded pension system, less the value of insurance contributions in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (PFR), increased by 27.8 % (from 286 to 366 billion rubles - see Table 1)10.

As a result, as of the end of Q III, the IPF responsible for mandatory pension insurance accounted for 7% of the total size of assets managed by the government asset manager (GAM), private asset managers (PAM), and IPF. The total share of pension savings invested by PAMs and held by IPFs by the end of Q III 2007 amounted to 10 % against 6.7 % at the yearТs beginning.

By the end of the third quarter, the market value of assets in which pension savings were invested by GAM reached 329 billion rubles, mainly due to the seasonal transfer of contributions to the funded component of labor pension from the PFR. Total growth in the value of GAMТs assets in Q III amounted to 63.billion rubles, of which net inflow of funds from the PFR was 59.9 billion. rubles.

Among the IPF involved in mandatory pension insurance, their leader - the IPF УBlagosostoianieФ - holds 27.8 % of pension savings, followed by the IPF УLukoil-GarantФ (15.7 %). The aggregate share of the 5 biggest attracted shares of pension savings in IPF as of the end of Q III 2007 amounted to 63.3 %. At the same time, the total amount of pension savings has so far been only 5.8 % of the total sum of pension reserves (funds of attracted IPF within the framework of voluntary pension system). But there have already appeared some funds УspecializingФ on mandatory pension insurance. Thus, in the IPF УBolshoi NPFФ, which occupies the 4th place, the sum of pension savings is by 12.7 times larger than that of pension reserves; in the IPF УRusФ - by 6.2 times.

Hereinafter, the data from the official websites of the PF Pension Fund and the Federal Service for Financial Markets (FSFM) are applied.
