NOTE

Introducing the Generation Bet Concept at KPMG Innovation Symposium

The Generation Bet concept identifies a new demographic of investors who have grown up engaging with modern financial instruments like Robinhood, crypto, NFTs, and prediction markets. This group, represented by young adults in their 20s and 30s, exhibits a unique form of financial acumen formed through real-world experiences, akin to veterans developed from hardships in battle. They have faced setbacks in trading and betting, which creates valuable lessons that shape their future investment strategies. The concept emphasizes that those with real financial experiences, including losses and learning opportunities, will develop a capacity for better decision-making as they grow older. Specifically, individuals who engage in multiple investment avenues are likely to evolve into adept investors or entrepreneurs, possessing a distinctive skill set shaped by their formative financial experiences. Thus, Generation Bet signifies a transformative shift in the investment landscape, where experiential learning is essential for future success.
