‘Gen Z’ leads the way in derivatives: SEBI
Young people belonging to ‘Gen Z’ (those under 30) are showing interest not only in social movements but also in stock market derivatives trading. In the last financial year (2025-26), Gen Z youth under the age of 30 accounted for 43% of retail investors engaged in derivatives trading. This represents a 12% increase compared to four years ago. A SEBI study revealed that 81% of retail investors over the age of 60 who engaged in derivatives trading incurred losses during the last financial year, while 89% of Gen Z investors suffered losses.
