The investing world has undergone a drastic change in the last couple of years, primarily due to the Millennial and Gen Z preferences and acts. These two generations are not just digital natives—they are reshaping how wealth is accumulated and managed, particularly when it comes to investment trends. Millennials and Gen Z are shifting away from established financial norms by way of technology adoption, focusing on sustainability but aspiring for the inclusive, innovative and customisable approach in the context of investment. At our company, VSRK Capital, we believe that we must determine what those changes are and how our approach must be altered to address this changed generation’s increasing demands. Here we briefly explain how they are remodeling the future of finance and what all investors belonging to any generation can expect.
Here we briefly explain how they are reshaping finance and what investors can expect:
Understanding the Generations:
Millennials, i.e., people born during the years 1981 through 1996, and Generation Z, people born during 1997-2012, were all grown up in an age that has been very distinct from the age before it. They are technology natives, not just comfortable with it, but used to having it at their disposal day in and day out. In contrast to the last generation of investors, who were familiar with having to rely on old-line money managers, Millennials and Gen Z will try to learn for themselves, use web-based tools, and take advantage of new investment technology. Investing independently in technology stands out as one of the most striking trends of our time.
Shifts in Investment Priorities and Trends:
Reflecting their tech-savvy nature, Millennials and Gen Z possess unique values and priorities that will shape their investment choices. They are socially and environmentally more aware than past generations. That is evident in the increasing popularity of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, where the investor chooses to give preference to a company’s sustainable and ethical approach to doing business over generating profits. That focus on value-driven investing is one such fundamental deviation from past investing frameworks and continues to be an investment trend too.
Digital-First Mindset:
Millennials and Gen Z have grown with adapting to handling money in digital and mobile app form. They anticipate frictionless digital experiences and easily embrace new money technology. This has contributed to the popularity of robo-advisors, trading accounts online, and other digital investment sites.
Area of Emphasis:
Impact Investing: As has been hinted previously, such generations are not very keen on investing in businesses whose values they cannot relate to. They desire their investments, besides being profitable, to make the world and the planet a better place.
Long-Term Orientation:
Before technophilia overwhelms us, the Millennials and Gen Z are even more concerned with long-term economic goals, i.e., retirement and financial independence. This is evident in investment planning where diversified portfolios and long-term value appreciation are concerns.
Affordability and Accessibility:
These generations are leaders in affordable and accessible investment. They are willing to invest early despite having small capital due to fractional investing and cheap investment platforms.
Education and Information Focus:
Millennials and Gen Z are encouraged to learn more about investing. They watch online platforms, listen to webinars, and watch finance content creators in order to be more financially aware.
Challenges and Opportunities:
While Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping investment trends in new and innovative ways, they also pose challenges. They are burdened with student loans and have witnessed financial uncertainty. But their early investment and long-term mindset can be an asset. With good guidance and adequate resources, they can build fortunes in the long run.
