AFM Consumer Monitor 2022 Q4: Investors
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) published the Q4 2022 Consumer Monitor for Investors, revealing that 22% of Dutch households hold investments, primarily in stocks and funds, with low interest rates being the primary driver for new investors. The report highlights that 60% of investors check their portfolio values weekly, while nearly one-fifth (18%) would struggle financially if their investment value dropped by 25%. Furthermore, the AFM notes that 70% of investors who viewed cost information took no action, and methodological changes in 2022 mean results are not directly comparable to previous years.
