Key data themes and trend information

Broadridge Investor Pulse provides key themes that highlight a dynamic and evolving investment landscape shaped by generational shifts, changing preferences, and a growing demand for self-directed solutions.

1. Democratization of Investing

Younger generations (Gen-Z, Millennials, and Gen-X) are entering the market and growing their share of assets, while less educated investors are also increasingly participating.

2. Women investors

Women represent a smaller proportion of the market by percentage and total assets but have higher median assets. They tend to start investing later in life, with an older average age.

3. Self-service investing

The shift toward discount channels and self-directed accounts continues to grow, with individual equities becoming more popular.

4. Advice channels vs. discount channels

Assets are moving from traditional advice-based channels to discount brokerage platforms, reflecting a broader trend toward self-service.

5. Product proliferation

Investor portfolios are becoming more diversified, holding an increasing number of products. However, mutual funds—especially active ones—are declining in favor of ETFs and equities.

6. High-net-worth investors

Despite the influx of younger and less educated investors, high-net-worth (HNW) investors continue to control an increasing share of total assets.
