IG, a brokerage company, has released a report with data on the research of trader sentiment. The survey includes findings from research on the company's clients' primary motivations for trading and investing in 2023.
More than half of those polled by IG agreed that the main motivator is the accumulation of a reliable 'rainy day' fund, with many ranking financial independence second.
According to the data, in an era of high inflation, demand for investment products has increased as many people see them as a way to save and improve their wealth. At the same time, many people believe that the most important factors in choosing an investment product are careful analysis, research, and knowledge rather than luck.
Also, the report shows that approximately 30% of IG's clients increased their cash funds by selling other assets due to a decline in financial markets in 2022.
