Did you know that 34% of European adults, or 113 million people, invest, according to BlackRock’s recent People & Money report?
Germany, the UK, France and Italy have the most investors. However, for 56% of 18-34 year olds, a lack of knowledge or understanding was the top barrier to investing, followed by a lack of money, cited by 52% of respondents. Fear of losing money and a lack of time were other major reasons for not investing.
