Aussies prove confident with their investments despite market sell-offs

The results of a recent poll conducted by social investment network eToro showed that the majority of those surveyed chose to hold investments or to buy the dip.

• 64% of participants chose not to change their investments and 28% chose to buy the dip during recent pullbacks.

• Rising inflation was the top reported concern among retail investors

According to Ben Laidler, Global Market Strategist at eToro, “Despite a barrage of setbacks across global financial markets, retail investors in Australia and around the globe have found the strength to look past the short-term volatility and use these drops in prices to bolster their portfolios for the long term.”.

The results were from the latest “Retail Investor Beat”, a quarterly poll conducted by social investment network eToro, which surveys 10,000 retail investors across 14 countries, including 1,000 in Australia.
