Segment 1: Investor Behavior Research
The Ontario Securities Commission examined the impact of trading platforms’ use of gamification and other behavioral techniques on investing behavior. The studies showed that certain gamification and other related behavioral techniques had a direct and adverse impact on retail investor behaviors.
- Tyler Fleming and Meera Paleja, Ontario Securities Commission
The FINRA Investor Education Foundation examined how the behaviors, knowledge, motivations, and information sources of investors, who started investing in 2020, have changed since entering the markets. The Foundation also collected data on investors who opened their first non-retirement account in 2021 (or after) to compare this new cohort of investors to those who first entered the markets in 2020.
