Illustration by Trịnh Lập by An Phương The latest kids on the demographic block, Generation Z (1997 onwards), have had a lot happen in a short amount of time. This shapes their approach to life. One interesting impact of this approach can be seen in their investing habits. I recently had a chat with some of my younger friends on their financial plans and goals. The insights from the conversations were rewarding. Growing up, I was used to seeing my mother trading in gold and real estate but never in my early twenties did I consider doing the same. Not so with Gen Z. They are more sophisticated, financially, and start their investing journey very early. Anh Huy, 25, told me that he bought a small apartment and put it up for sale two months ago. “I was able to buy my first apartment with profits from trading in shares, salary from a 9-5 job and savings from my parents. I did borrow some money from the bank, but it wasn’t much. HCM City is a fast growing city and I have … [Read more...] about The rise of the savvy Gen Z investor
