Perfil de investidor dos alunos de sistemas de informação: influências e percepções

Abstract

Many Brazilians face financial challenges, and the lack of investment habits is just one of them. This study analyzes the investor profile of students in the Bachelor's degree in Information Systems at UFRN/CERES, with the purpose of identifying their characteristics as investors. The questionnaire, composed of 18 questions, 9 of which were specifically focused on understanding the investor profile, included the number of respondents enrolled in the Special Topics in Information Systems I course. Through the questionnaire, it was found that the average profile of students is moderate. Although they demonstrate a greater affinity for low-return investments, they also show a willingness to take risks in stocks. In addition, a significant recognition of the impact of the academic environment on the development of financial knowledge was observed, as well as for those who study on their own.
