The proportion of young people participating in the first sale of the National Participation Growth Fund, which was launched in June, was only 13%. People in their 50s had the highest number of participants, and those aged 60 and over had the highest average investment amount. The proportion of ordinary investors exceeded 20%. The Financial Supervisory Service plans to expand the allocation ratio for ordinary investors to 50% in the second National Participation Growth Fund to be launched in September, in order to broaden investment opportunities for young people. However, recent stock market volatility and sluggish initial returns of the first fund could affect sales of the second fund.
