Powered by Trading Central and Direxion, the Digital Wealth Luncheon gathered industry leaders for a lunch & learn session to network and connect with peers. The session featured a keynote presentation by Investment Trends, who shared industry data and takeaways from their recent U.S. Online Investing Report.
Popular topics of conversation throughout the afternoon included:
Active traders (those making 120+ trades per year) are increasingly interested in a range of financial instruments, such as ETFs, options, and futures. This sustained interest points to a strong market opportunity that brokers could tap into further. By engaging traders earlier in their journey and offering educational resources, brokers have a chance to capture this untapped, locative market.
Despite the opportunities amongst this segment, Investment Trends found a striking 70% of active traders expressed the need for their broker to improve their research and trade ideas. This highlights a critical area that needs to be addressed - those who take action and respond to these demands will be better positioned to capture possible market share.
Survey findings found the top drivers for investors when choosing a broker are a modern platform that's easy to navigate & has powerful features that leverage technology. As investors grow and navigate their investing journey, brokers have the unique opportunity to provide value-add services and content at each stage.
Thanks to all those for joining - it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with others and engage in meaningful conversations.
