Cultura financeira dos investidores e diversificação das carteiras

Cultura financeira dos investidores e diversificação das carteiras

Abstract

Neste trabalho procuramos perceber quais os factores que influenciam o nível de cultura financeira dos investidores individuais portugueses e explorar a relação entre conhecimento financeiro e comportamento dos agentes, centrando-nos na diversificação da carteira. Os resultados reportados permitem-nos concluir que o nível geral de cultura financeira dos investidores individuais portugueses é baixo, dois em cada três investidores manifestando um nível de conhecimento específico claramente insuficiente. Foi ainda possível concluir que são os homens casados, com cerca de 44 anos e curso médio ou superior, a viver no litoral ou no Grande Porto e exercendo profissões liberais, os investidores que manifestam maior nível de conhecimento. Por outro lado, foi também possível apurar que quer o grau de formação académica, quer o nível de informação financeira específica, quer ainda as fontes de informação usadas pelos investidores relevam na diversificação da carteira dos investidores.

This paper studies the factors that determine the financial literacy level of the Portuguese individual investors and explores the relation between financial literacy and financial behavior, particularly portfolio diversification. Our results suggest that the average financial literacy level of Portuguese individual investors is low: two in three investors reveal an insufficient level of financial knowledge. We also find that the investor with a high literacy level is a married man, about 44 years old, living in the coast or in the Oporto region, and is an independent worker. Moreover, our results show that the level of financial literacy has a strong impact on portfolio diversification behavior, in different ways. In fact, academic degree, specific financial culture, and information sources are relevant variables for the explanation of individual financial decisions.
