Once reserved for a minority of investors with deep pockets and graying temples, the financial markets are now attracting investors under 35 years of age. To decipher the expectations and behaviors of this new generation of investors, MoneyVox is launching a call for testimonials.

The proportion of under 35s among the holders of direct shares increased by 11% 18% within a year. A rejuvenation significantnotes the AMF.
The fall of the markets in March 2020 constituted a ideal entry point for these new investors. But for many observers, the arrival of young people on the market was only a trend. A way to kill time during confinement.
Two years later, the reality turns out to be quite different. And every day more young people are betting on the stock market. It was actually the starting point of one underlying trendconfirms Marc Touati, economist and president of ACDEFI.
