RUSSIAN STOCK MARKET PROFESSIONAL PARTICIPANTS: HABITUS AND PRACTICES

Abstract

A proven choice of raising the mass population savings to economic development, that confirmed by the successful results of the world’s leading economies is the primary stock market. However today the Russian stock market operates mainly as a secondary or speculative, without raising funds for economic development and creating massive owners community. Exceptions are infrequent IPOs, which are generally unknown to the mass population. The focus of investment activity on the stock market is largely dependent on the professional participants, which practically form the course of its development. In this article there are research results of an existing professional participants habitus of the Russian stock market. The present habitus of Russian stock market professional participants can be characterized as speculative. In addition, the study also showed a clear interest in this development of professional stock market participants. After all, the income of professional participants is directly dependent on the number of transactions made by their clients, which is a powerful argument for the adoption of measures for the speculative organization of stock market customers, using the legitimate and illegitimate methods and techniques. A further theorization of the obtained results will make it possible to determine what measures should be taken for changing the existing habitus in investment way and the primary stock market priority development as a key component for the mass population participation in Russian economy development through the share holding.
