As Gen Z is predicted to be an important player in the global economy and financial markets, it is important to understand their financial investing behaviors.

The objective of this study is to study the investment behavior of Gen Z, the factors that influence their financial decisions and to understand their investment behavior, attitude and ability to take risk. The findings may be very useful for financial institutions, legislators, educators and investment service providers in developing products and financial education programmes that meet the demands and expectations of this new generation of investors.
