27% of Finnish individuals hold stocks or mutual funds in 2016. This participation has increased from 21% in 2004 mostly due to new investors entering the market through mutual funds. In 2016, the mean individual portfolio equals 35,149 EUR and includes 1.7 stocks and 1.5 mutual funds. The participation rate, the portfolio value, and the number of securities are higher when

urban, university and business educated, and high-IQ investors hold a higher portfolio share in equities. Differences in portfolio composition generate large differences from the average

the top 0.01% whose wealth share has decreased.
