How many active retail investors are there in the stock market?

What are the criteria for active retail investors?

My professional answer to this question is as follows: 1. The definition of active retail investors.

Retail investors are the investors in the stock market. Our friends who do stocks are all retail investors. Investors who invest a small amount of money in the stock market are also called retail investors.

Active retail investors mainly refer to retail investors who buy and sell stocks a lot, that is, investors who buy and sell stocks almost every day.

Second, the number of active retail investors.

There are about 80 million shareholders in the A-share market, and the number of active retail investors is about 16 million. Under normal circumstances, there is an active trading ratio of 20%. This is a data I found while working in a securities company.

However, the number of active retail investors is still changing in different stock markets and in different stock market cycles.

For example: the proportion of active retail investors in the A-share market is about 20%. However, in the Hong Kong stock market and the US stock market, the proportion of active retail investors is very small.

The first reason is that the number of retail investors in the Hong Kong stock market and the U.S. stock market is even smaller. Both markets are dominated by institutional investors; the second reason is that retail investors in the A-share market like to trade and buy frequently.

However, retail investors in other mature stock markets rarely trade and buy.

Third, have active retail investors in the A-share market made money?

There was once a stock investor who made hundreds of transactions a year and lost 1 million yuan. He paid 600,000 yuan in handling fees, and the other 400,000 yuan was the actual loss incurred by the stock. In fact, stock trading is not the only way to make profits.

, funds, financial products, etc. are also good choices. Although the rate of return may not be as high as stocks, it can avoid the risks of irrational investment by retail investors.

Gaosheng.com believes that if they want to obtain more profits from stocks, retail investors should train more on their skills and work hard to attack after finding the target.
