Given the fact that the FED has been targeting at 2% inflation, expected investment return should be not less than 3% to cover inflation and show some grown. What instruments should be using HNWIs in Russia to preserve their capital in USD and EUR and have a regular income like bank deposits provide?
Bonds. If one’s investment term exceeds 3-5 years, one could find investment grade bonds with a yield to maturity of 3% and a bit above to invest in.

Typically, they won’t be trading on a stock exchange, but nevertheless, they might substitute bank deposits as they provide regular coupons and pay back 100% of investment amount when mature provided there is no default.
