Только ДВА актива приносят пассивный доход
Main summary
Key takeaways
Core claim / thesis
- Only two asset classes have historically delivered returns significantly above inflation over long horizons:
- Stocks (shares/equities)
- Real estate (residential and commercial)
- Many “passive income” approaches (e.g., bank deposits, bonds, bills, liquidity funds, gold, cryptocurrency) are argued to be not reliably sufficient in real (inflation-adjusted) terms, particularly for living off capital over decades.
Passive income vs real returns (key argument)
- Deposits may appear to generate income, but over long periods the real (after-inflation) return can approach ~0.
- It’s possible for deposits to beat inflation over short windows, but other periods may deliver negative real yields, meaning you’d need additional capital to maintain spending.
- The emphasis is on “full profit” over the long run—not only dividends/coupons/interest.
Step-by-step / framework mentioned (practical allocation logic)
When targeting to live off capital, the portfolio’s main exposure should be directed to:
- Stocks
- Real estate
Everything else (e.g., deposits, bonds, gold, crypto, liquidity products) is positioned as:
- Supplemental for diversification, not a true long-term “passive income engine.”
Rebalancing / flexibility:
- Prefer stocks as the main allocation because they are easier to trade and allow withdrawal flexibility year-to-year.
Evidence & comparisons (numbers and benchmarks cited)
Gold (as an example of a non-core asset)
Over 150+ years, gold is described as:
- Very volatile
- Periodically experiencing real drawdowns >50%
- Sometimes taking decades to recover
- Having experienced ~30+ year stretches with near-zero real returns
A cited example:
- Over an approximately 20-year span, gold increased >3x in real terms, but implied average return was <1% per annum real, attributed to the long time horizon.
Bonds & deposits (high nominal returns, potential real issue)
- In Russia “today,” deposits/bonds are claimed to yield ~5–10% per annum above inflation.
- Caution: such levels likely won’t persist.
- Planning only for a “couple of years” is presented as risky.
Therefore:
- The speaker plans long-term and says they are “stuck” to stocks, recently adding real estate.
Real estate example & performance metrics (specific figures)
Commercial real estate via platform (Simple Estate)
The speaker promotes a commercial real estate platform and provides performance/activity metrics:
- Properties leased to supermarkets with 10–15 year long-term contracts
- Mentioned tenants: Pyaterochka, Magnit, Perekrestok
- Minimum investment: 100,000 rubles
- Claimed oversight/governance:
- Platform operating under control of the Central Bank of Russia for 6 years
- Founder: former investment analyst at Goldman Sachs
- Track record / scale:
- Real estate portfolio: 2 billion rubles
- Investors: 1,000
- Yield claims:
- Current rental yield: 8–10% per annum
- Historical total yield: 19% per annum (including property value increase)
- Portfolio selection claim:
- Identified as roughly “~1% of the market” as reliable/high-quality with growth potential
- Risk acknowledgement:
- “There is, of course, risk,” but it is positioned as investing in tangible assets (“bricks and mortar”).
Residential real estate volatility (risk example with numbers)
- Russia secondary residential property:
- Example: 2011 saw prices fall by ~25% inflation-adjusted in a single calendar year
- Many properties allegedly fell further by 30–40%
- Real estate volatility:
- Real estate inflation-adjusted drawdowns commonly in double digits
- Real estate volatility described as higher than the Russian bond market
- 2013–2017:
- “5 years of continuous losses”
- Secondary housing down >1/3 in real terms
- Not back to peak; real prices still below end-2008
Turkey / Antalya liquidity risk story:
- Some properties experienced drawdowns up to ~50%
- Liquidity described as poor because buyers must pay full amounts immediately (mortgages scarce due to high interest rates)
Personal Istanbul rental estimate
The speaker references a deal:
- Two-bedroom apartment near central Istanbul
- Net expected rental income after:
- fees, minor repairs, taxes, downtime, and potential issues
- Result:
- a little over 4% per annum, excluding depreciation and excluding appreciation
Additional claim:
- If living in the same property personally, “savings” could reach about ~6% per year of pure benefit, via:
- avoiding downtime/manager commissions/income taxes
- lower tenant default risk
Stocks vs real estate (taxes/fees and “net real return” estimates)
Net real returns discussion for global equities
- Historical global stocks real return cited:
- ~5% per annum in real terms (noted as “gross” before expenses)
- Then deduct:
- fund management losses, dividend withholding, taxes at multiple levels, rebalancing costs
- Total drag cited:
- roughly ~1% per year from expenses (open + hidden)
- Additional drag:
- capital gains tax upon selling at profit in the residence country
ETFs route:
- If in the EU or non-Russian citizenship: use Irish ETFs instead of US structures (lower taxes due to treaties)
Net expectation (after inflation and costs):
- Realistically ~4% per annum for global equities.
Russia cost framing
- Costs in Russia are described as also around ~1% per year.
- Taxes are described as high on dividends or absorbed via fund-level costs, but said to be comparable overall.
Expected return premium vs risk
- Russian equities:
- Potentially higher expected return due to higher risks and difficulty attracting foreign capital
- Real estate:
- The argument is “no worse or better” in the Russian context:
- real estate yield may be lower, but perceived capital risk is lower
- The argument is “no worse or better” in the Russian context:
Diversification & portfolio construction guidance
- Real estate risk is argued to be underestimated because it “feels” tangible, yet:
- price drawdowns can occur
- liquidity can be problematic
- Stocks offer:
- easier lot-size access
- better diversification potential
“Market value” intuition:
- Real estate is described as approximately comparable in capitalization to globally traded stocks/bonds:
- the speaker claims people hold roughly half in stock markets and half in real estate (with margin of error).
Allocation tilt:
- The speaker says they may aim for similar proportions later, though they are not yet at their “acceptable security/spending” stage.
Liquidity and withdrawal planning
- Stocks are positioned as better for:
- liquidity
- withdrawing different amounts in different years (“sometimes more, sometimes less”)
- Real estate for living:
- If staying permanently in the same property, real estate can outperform by delivering more “pure profit” via saved expenses vs the effort of renting.
Explicit recommendations / bottom line (stated)
- Bottom line:
- Only two asset classes deliver significant real returns over the long term: shares and real estate.
- For “living off capital,” these should form the core.
- Other assets are only add-ons for diversification—useful especially in crises/uncertainty, but not as the main passive income engine.
- Risk framing:
- The premium from stocks/real estate is described as the price of risk.
