Investment behavior worldwide - statistics & facts
Several factors contribute to how and when individuals may decide to invest. An investor's age, experience, and level of access to professional advice are some of the contributing factors that affect how an individual gains knowledge and how this knowledge affects their choices when investing. The experience level of individual investors plays an important factor as often beginner investors are more likely to seek outside advice which can impact investing decisions.
