Pearler investors continue to build wealth
Pearler, Australia’s leading long-term investing platform, has released key customer investment insights across 2022.
Nick Nicolaides (pictured), co-founder and CEO of Pearler, says investment trends across the Pearler platform provide an important insight into younger investors.
He points to few key observations:
“This year the news has buffeted us with warnings about market crashes. But in the face of this, the Pearler community has kept on investing.”
“As 2022 finishes, the buy-to-sell ratio within the Pearler community still sits at 90/10. Moreover, the number of investors applying the principles of dollar-cost averaging has remained steady.”
“Far from making news-provoked panic sells, the Pearler community are proving themselves to be steady-handed long term investors.”
By looking at these figures, we can learn that:
- a growing number of young Aussies care about financial independence
- that same group are forming habits that are conducive to long term investing, instead of speculative trading
“And they don’t just invest when stocks are going up. Pearler investors have kept a global perspective, and mainly use ASX listed ETFs to do it.”
“In fact, between global and US indexes, over half of our community’s investments sit beyond our shores.”
“And one of our favourite stats is that a whopping 86% of us invest ONLY in Aussie and US ETFs and LICs.”
“We’re proud that 14% is invested directly into Aussie and US listed stocks. As much as we celebrate ETFs, there is no one right way to compose your portfolio.”
“We’ve covered the “what” and the “when”, but the most important is the “how”. The majority of Pearler’s community make a habit of regularly depositing into their Pearler accounts. In doing so, they ensure their investing is proactive, rather than reactive.”
“In terms of frequent habits, it doesn’t stop with depositing. No fewer than 52% of Pearler investors are autoinvesting through the holiday season.”
“It goes to show that while the Pearler community are diverse, they’re united in in their focus on long term investing,” said Nicolaides.
