Abstract

The beliefs and strategies to be mobilized by individuals who are about to start their activity as investors in financial markets is an issue scarcely explored in the field of the sociology of finance. In this paper we present new evidence about the opinions of future investors recurring to a survey administered to 177 master’s students. Our results highlight the structural incoherence in the values adopted by future investors and the centrality of these social actors’ beliefs in the construction of the prevailing practices in financial markets.
