Deep dives
Excess Cash Among Young Adults
Young adults in the UK, specifically those aged 18 to 44, are estimated to hold around £300 billion in excess cash that could be invested. This presents a significant opportunity for wealth building during what should be their prime financial years. However, the paradox lies in the fact that while they possess time for investments to mature, many do not feel they have the necessary funds to start investing. This disconnect highlights the challenge of mobilizing available cash into productive investments.
