Does birth order impact your investing style?
--:--
GUEST – René Basson, Head of Brand at Satrix
Does the order in which you're born shape the way you handle money? Some studies suggest that firstborns tend to be more risk-averse, preferring safer investments, while younger siblings, often seen as more adventurous, may gravitate toward higher-risk options like equities or even cryptocurrencies.
With March being South Africa’s ‘baby boom month,’ this is the perfect time to explore how birth order influences financial behavior. Joining us today is René Basson, Head of Brand at Satrix, to unpack the psychology behind birth order and investing.
She will share insights into how different sibling positions might impact risk tolerance, market participation, and financial decision-making—helping us better understand our own investing styles and how to align them with our long-term goals.
