Abstract

Young investors increasingly turn to the Internet for financial information. This paper analyses the empirical components of information literacy skills and self-efficacy in information use through a cross-sectional study of young investors in Singapore. Their information literacy and self-efficacy levels were also analysed across various income groups, gender and investing experience. This study fills in the literature gap by assessing the relative importance of each predictor variable on using quality financial information online.
