Methods. We apply methods of analysis, synthesis, logical research based on the systems approach, statistical methods of data analysis (analysis of time series, correlation analysis), methods of optimal solutions, and the graphical analysis.
Results. The paper shows the need to use a diversified strategy in the financial market. We developed an investment strategy providing better investment results at a lesser risk. The offered strategy may be integrated into financial instruments of various financial participants of the Russian financial market. The results of our investment strategy are compared with the results of brokers' strategies and the best assets for investment, i.e. gold, currency, real estate, bank deposits, and inflation. The study analyzes the basic principles of the formation of a diversification index-based strategy, formulates the main requirements for the best diversification within the Russian securities market, and presents a diversified index strategy, which is suitable for all classes of investors.
