As members of Generation Z start to earn income and create investment opportunities, it is worth noting the amount of time spent engaging with mobile devices for live-streaming, gaming and other electronic services.

 

Will investment options for Generation Z be influenced by digital transformation? Would value stocks, bonds, derivatives, cryptos or simple savings be in their portfolios? Can FinTech innovations change how they invest?

 

HKU FinTech Day 2022’s “FinTech Retail Investment of Generation Z” panel with Dr. Yang YOU and Yali ZHU discusses how technologies such as Web-3 portals, internet brokers and robo-advisors may impact the ways in which young investors make ventures in stocks, bonds, cryptos, NFTs and more.
