NEW DELHI: Investors exhibited a higher degree of maturity during the covid-19 pandemic, with 60% of Indians stayed invested despite market volatility, while 38% increased their investments, according to a survey by Scripbox, a digital wealth management service. Conducted every year ahead of India's Independence Day, over 1,000 adults participated in the latest edition of Scripbox’s Financial Freedom Survey. The survey also showed that covid-19 prompted more and more Indians to seek professional financial advice. One in every three Indians said that they will seek professional financial advice and prioritize building a financial plan for long term goals. This year’s survey clearly indicates that this is what Indians are seeking, someone to help them with their financial planning," said Shinghal.
