Gen Z is now in the market and they're beginning to invest younger than any generation before them. A new study by the FINRA Foundation and CFA Institute has taken a deep dive into the attitudes and behaviors of this latest generation of investors, the oldest of which were just 25 at the time of the study.

On this episode, Andres Vinelli, Chief Economist at CFA Institute, and Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA Foundation and Senior Vice President of Investor Education at FINRA, join us to talk about the role of crypto as an onramp, how Gen Z is using, but not necessarily trusting, social media and much more.
