Abstract [sv]

Aktiemarknaden har blivit allt mer tillgänglig med åren och mer förutsägbar i takt med digitaliseringen, vilket gynnar de yngre investerarna. Överlag uppvisar Generation Z en högre närvaro på marknaden, vilket kan bero på den ökade tillgången till information som leder till en ökad aktivitet inom investeringar. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur Generation Z investerar jämfört med Millennials, Generation X och Baby Boomers samt att identifiera möjliga faktorer som påverkar utfallet av deras aktieportföljer.Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ metod som följer en deduktiv ansats. Hypoteser formuleras med utgångspunkt ur teorier som Modern portföljteori, risktolerans kopplat till ålder och Investor Attention. Fenomenet undersöks genom att samla in data via enkäter. Enkäten distribueras till studiens målgrupp som är Generation Z i Sverige, genom ett bekvämlighetsurval. Vidare ställs sekundärdata mot primärdata för att diskutera hur faktorer som påverkan av andra investerare och uppskattad risktolerans skiljer sig mellan generationerna. Sekundärdatan behandlas genom att genomföra en deskriptiv innehållsanalys, där innehållet sedan presenteras som kategorier i resultatet. Genom sekundärdata presenteras även portföljvärdet för Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X och Baby Boomers.

Abstract [en]

The stock market has become increasingly accessible over the years and more predictable with the advancements in digitalization, benefiting younger investors. Overall, Generation Z shows a greater presence in the market, which could be attributed to the increased access to information leading to heightened investment activity. The study aims to examine how Generation Z invests compared to Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers, and identify possible factors influencing the outcomes of their stock portfolios. The study applies a quantitative method following a deductive approach. Hypotheses are formulated based on theories such as Modern Portfolio Theory, risk tolerance linked to age, and Investor Attention. To investigate the phenomenon, data is collected through surveys. The survey is distributed to the study's target group, which is Generation Z in Sweden, through convenience sampling. Furthermore, secondary data is compared to primary data to discuss how factors like the influence of other investors and perceived risk tolerance differ among generations. Secondary data is processed by conducting a descriptive content analysis, where the content is then presented as categories in the results. The secondary data also presents portfolio values for Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers.
