The stock market and real estate remain the most popular investments for Quebecers, ahead of life insurance and cryptocurrencies.
At least that’s the conclusion of a survey published by Hello Safe on Tuesday.
Of those surveyed in Quebec, 42.4% listed the stock market as one of their preferred investment solutions. In particular, young people aged 16 to 25 (49.38%) and over 56 (47.69%) prefer this placement, while those aged 36 to 45 are the least convinced (22.73%).
Real estate is the second most popular investment podium for Quebecers (36.1%), particularly among 26-35 year olds (72.73%).
Finally, life insurance (13.2%) and cryptocurrencies (12.5%) remain the most marginal investments.
Also, 13.89% of respondents prefer other investments like the TFSA or even mutual funds.
The survey also shows that more than half of Quebecers (62.2%) invest their money themselves, while 32.9% hire a broker or use their bank.
The research was conducted between September 1 and November 11, 2022 among 624 people in Quebec.
