VIS Group held a major presentation at the Oktyabr Cinema Center in Moscow for retail investors who gathered for Solid Profit Conf, the largest offline investment and trading conference in Russia. Around 3,000 participants discussed investment strategies.
Key topics included increasing stock market capitalization, attracting investors, and developing new instruments, including “neo-assets.” Infrastructure today is one of the most promising areas for private capital inflows from both institutional and retail investors. Companies in the infrastructure sector are already participating in the public capital market, offering exchange-traded bonds as an instrument, and several such companies are expected to hold IPOs. Therefore, the theme of “Infrastructure – a New Asset” specified in VIS Group’s presentation resonates with stock market development trends.
“Today, our holding company is the largest private company in Russia in the public-private partnership market, which has already become a driver for infrastructure renewal and creation. Without private investment, it will be impossible to fulfill large-scale plans for national projects. Therefore, the participation of investors, both institutional and retail, will increase in the coming years due to the emergence of new instruments. Infrastructure is becoming a full-fledged and promising asset,” noted Dmitry Suvorov, Deputy CEO for Economics and Finance at VIS Group.
The Group's investment portfolio is currently valued at 858 billion rubles. Major projects are being implemented in Yakutia, Khabarovsk, Salekhard, Novosibirsk, and the Moscow region. As a pioneer in Russian PPPs, the holding has consolidated all the required competencies within its structure, from structuring and project financing organization to construction and operation of facilities.
Natalia Reznichenko, CEO of VIS Group’s Investment Division, emphasized the uniqueness of the Russian PPP model with its clearly defined legislative and regulatory guarantees for both the public and private partners: “The growth prospects of the PPP market in the coming years are determined not only by the objectives of national projects and targeted federal programs for infrastructure development, but also by the expansion of the range of government support mechanisms and preferential financing for PPP projects. We see great potential for portfolio growth; a whole list of promising projects is already being developed.”
VIS Group has been an issuer on the Moscow Exchange since 2020, with a program for the issuance of exchange-traded bonds totaling 30 billion rubles. To date, the holding has placed 11 bond issues for 23 billion rubles, one of which has already been redeemed. The funds raised are being used to finance ongoing projects.
“Today, our goal was not only to discuss the holding's business but also to educate retail investors on the essence of public-private partnerships, how they function, the benefits they offer to partners, and how profits are generated. Our bond issues are attracting an ever-increasing pool of retail investors, so public communication with them has become an integral part of our operations,” commented Sergey Kozlovsky, Head of Corporate Communications at VIS Group.
