Как ПРАВИЛЬНО инвестировать в 2026 для пассивного дохода ✅ Дмитрий Кокорев
Main summary
Key takeaways
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

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).
