Small investors usually commit about PLN 30K

The average investor has been in the game for an eight-year span and has invested about PLN 30,000 in the stock market. This is according to the latest survey of individual investors completed by the Individual Investor Association, as reported by PAP. Usually, the small investor is male and about 38 years old. WSE investments are his favorite and he does this in addition to his regular day job. Eighty-four percent of the investors have invested in Polish firms. By comparison, Western European investors are older and have considerably more experience in investing than their Polish counterparts. From a few hundred thousand active investors, 7,000 took part in this survey.
