VTB Investor Day for shareholders and clients was held in Kazan.

      On October 11, at the Bashir Rameev IT Park in Kazan, VTB Bank held Investor Day, an annual event for shareholders and clients. The event traditionally served as a platform for open dialogue between retail investors and the bank's management, bringing together a record number of guests for the region — more than 550 people.

      At the session “VTB Bank: Shareholders and Clients — The Formula for Growth,” participants noted that one of the drivers of the bank’s business development is retail shareholders — their number in 2025 approached 1.3 million. Most shareholders are bank clients, and more than 28 million clients use VTB’s services across Russia.

      “Our shareholder base is steadily growing — in August the number of VTB shareholders reached almost 1.3 million people, having increased by 9.2% in a month and by more than 25% over the year. We value the trust of our shareholders and strive to respond to their interests and needs,” emphasized head of VTB’s shareholder relations service Vladimir Khotkin.

      Tatarstan ranks fifth among Russian regions by number of VTB shareholders — about 3% of the bank’s total shareholders live in the republic. As across the country, the number of VTB shareholders in Tatarstan is steadily growing.

      “The Republic of Tatarstan remains one of our key regions. Over the past year the number of our shareholders here has increased by 21%, and their average stake has nearly doubled — up 96.3%,” noted Vladimir Khotkin.

      The executive also shared characteristics of the retail shareholder in the region: “About 60% of shareholders in Tatarstan are men. The average age is around 40, and most have a stake of just over 400 shares. Almost half of the region’s investors are aged 35–50. At the same time, they account for more than 55% of the total number of shares owned by retail shareholders in the Republic of Tatarstan. We see that our shareholders have accumulated substantial investment knowledge and show interest in the bank’s corporate events, so we strive to meet their requests through such in-person meetings.”

      The number of minority shareholders from Tatarstan holding packages of 2,000 or more VTB shares rose by 80% year-on-year, and their average holding increased by almost 52% to 15,112 shares, added Vladimir Khotkin.

      Head of the Investor Relations Department Leonid Vakeev presented the strategic results and plans for VTB’s further development. “VTB Group shows good dynamics in key financial indicators. For the eight months of 2025 the bank’s net profit reached 327.6 billion rubles. High capital efficiency is confirmed by return on equity (ROE) at the level of 18.1%,” the top manager reported.

      “The capital adequacy ratio (N20.0) rose by 50 basis points since the beginning of the year and stood at 9.6% by the end of August. An important step in strengthening the capital base was the successful completion in September of an additional share issuance. This creates a reliable foundation for achieving VTB Group’s strategic goals and meeting all forecast targets,” added Leonid Vakeev.

      Leonid Vakeev also reminded that last year the bank approved a development strategy through 2026, which is primarily aimed at strengthening the retail network and improving the client experience: “Key business directions for VTB Group on the strategic horizon include scaling the retail segment, seamless service for clients across business units, active strengthening of positions in Russia’s regions, advanced solutions based on artificial intelligence, and achieving technological sovereignty.”

      At the session dedicated to investments, experts shared ideas for building an investment portfolio for autumn 2025. “The debt market offers attractive levels — a pause in key rate cuts is already priced into OFZs. In the corporate segment, interesting new placements should be expected in the coming months, since companies need to refinance debt. At the same time, the recent correction in the equity market opens the opportunity to increase the share of equities in portfolios. We consider such an allocation shift justified,” said Stanislav Kleshchev, investment strategist at VTB My Investments.

      At the themed sessions, guests could also learn about VTB’s Shareholders’ Advisory Council and digital financial assets, and in addition to the educational part of the event receive personal consultations at the VTB product expo area and network with bank representatives. The event concluded with an interactive session and the presentation of souvenirs to the most active participants.
