Tiivistelmä
Investing is an important skill to learn early on, it can improve personal finances and budgeting. In addition to the traditional forms of investing, such as stocks, bonds and various funds, there are also more recent forms of investing available, such as cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding. Student’s investing behavior and interest towards it has been studied before, but research and empirical evidence in interest towards these “modern” forms of investing is lacking. The aim of the thesis was to determine are the business students at LAB University of Applied Sciences interested in both, traditional and modern forms of investing.
The thesis was conducted by using abductive approach. Quantitative methodology was used. Primary data was collected by a survey, which had 22 respondents. Secondary data was collected from already existing literature, such as books, and electronic sources including journals and reports.
The most important findings from the thesis were that students were interested in both traditional and the modern forms of investing, and that they would like more possibilities to learn in school, especially about the more recent innovations. Most of the respondents claimed that the modern forms were more interesting compared to the traditional forms.
