More at:Gen Z less interested in stocks than older generations, more into high yield savings and bonds:
A survey found that Gen Z intends to invest in cash assets and bonds more than older generations.
Traditional wisdom says that younger investors can afford to take on more risk with their portfolios because they have more years ahead of them to persevere through volatile market swings and position themselves for long-term future growth.
However, a recent study showed that young investors are actually planning to invest in less-risky assets in 2025.
The study was conducted by online brokerage eToro and research company Opinium. It surveyed 10,000 retail investors across 12 countries, with 1,000 being based in the U.S. One of the questions asked was about how investors planned to allocate money in 2025. These assets included growth sector stocks, cash assets and savings accounts, high-yield bonds, dividend-yielding stocks and crypto. Investors were told to select all that apply.
The responses showed that Gen Z investors were planning to prioritize putting money into cash assets, savings accounts and high-yield bonds over other assets - more so than the older generations.
