The study investigates how investment behaviors, preferences, and challenges are influenced by demographic, economic, and psychological factors. Information was gathered from a varied group of investors, with results showing a strong tendency towards low-risk financial options because of a lack of market knowledge and fear of taking risks. Age, education, income, and occupation were found to be important factors in determining investment decisions. In spite of the increasing popularity of digital trading tools, obstacles such as market volatility and limited financial knowledge prevent wider involvement. The research ends by highlighting the importance of increased financial literacy, better transparency, and easier access to technology to promote greater participation in investing in the area.
