Young shareholders – different but not unserious

by Marius Kleinheyer


In the Corona crisis, there is a stock boom among the younger generation. But these are by no means just gamblers who want the thrill and are rediscovering the stock market for themselves in search of quick riches.

Young shareholders often take different paths, but pursue just as serious intentions as the older generation. The majority of them want to build up assets, provide for old age or save for their own property. Stock trading is a serious business for the vast majority of shareholders in Germany, regardless of age.
