Invesco calls for providers to tailor experiences to covert cash savers into investors

Invesco and Cebr report that households in the UK, Germany, and Italy missed out on €1.16trn in wealth by keeping savings in cash instead of investing. Research shows investing half of annual savings into a diversified portfolio could have generated €526bn in Germany, £385bn in the UK, and €192bn in Italy. Main barriers to investing include fear of loss, low confidence, and lack of trust in financial markets. Invesco suggests tailored experiences could help convert savers into investors.
