Abstract

[fre] Comment les valeurs et croyances des investisseurs européens influencent-elles l’achat d’actifs et les stratégies d’investissement ? Jusqu’à récemment, on savait peu de choses sur cette question. Cet article résume les données, la méthodologie et les résultats d’une large enquête conduite sur le sujet par les auteurs. Plus de 3 100 investisseurs de six pays (Belgique, France, Allemagne, Italie, Espagne et Royaume-Uni) y ont participé. Les auteurs montrent que l’ensemble des valeurs et croyances, corrélé avec l’identité nationale, permet d’estimer les choix de portefeuille. Ces résultats ont d’importantes implications pour le marketing financier et l’élaboration de produits financiers. . Classification JEL : E21, G11, M31 [eng] A Psychological Portrait of the Individual Investor in Europe . How are the values and beliefs of European investors linked to the perceived attractiveness of asset classes and investment strategies ? Until recently, little was known about this question. We summarize the data, methods, and results of the largest survey study ever conducted. More than 3,100 investors in six countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) participated. As anticipated, we find that clusters of values and beliefs, correlated with national identity, predict portfolio choice. Our findings have important implications for financial marketing and product design. . JEL classifications : E21, G11, M31
