As many as 51 percent of Polish retail investors repositioned their portfolios due to growing concerns about inflation and the condition of the Polish economy. They are more likely to reconsider their investments than global investors, 56 percent of whom say they have not repositioned their portfolios despite mounting concerns over inflation and the economic recovery.
The latest quarterly eToro Puls Individual Investor survey, in which 6,000 retail investors in 12 countries were surveyed, shows that Polish investors' growing concerns are caused by rapid inflation, which 60 percent cites as the main cause of concern (up from 55 percent compared to the previous quarter). Inflation remains the biggest problem also on a global scale – 41 percent of investors consider it the largest threat to their investments (up from 38 percent compared to the previous quarter). However, in the face of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, Polish individual investors still rely on themselves when looking for financial stability. Almost half (45 percent) plan to invest the same amount or even more (27 percent) in the next 12 months. Only 28 percent of them plan to reduce their investments.
