Aussies still investing despite volatility

Company Interview15 Apr, 2025

Donahue D'Souza from HSBC Australia notes that 64% of investors plan to diversify their portfolios within six months, with Australians setting aside a quarter of their income for investing. This trend persists despite market volatility, driven by previous gains in the ASX, S&P 500, and Nasdaq.

Donahue observes that 70% of investors have shifted their strategies, with 40% opting for a balanced approach. This change comes amid geopolitical risks and economic uncertainties. Younger Australians reportedly aim to start investing with $20,000, attributing this figure to overseas market performances.

International investing is on the rise, with access to global markets increasing due to online platforms and instruments like ETFs. Donahue highlights that while technology remains a strong sector, financials may regain favour as investors seek stability.
