The capital market attracts a wide range of people, from young to old, corporations to individuals, to profit on the trading floor. Apparently, of all the investors in the capital market, Generation Z investors (under 30 years old) were the most likely to participate in this activity.
According to data from the Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) in June 2025, capital market investors are dominated by Gen Z, which is reflected in 54.2 percent of investors from this age group. Following behind Gen Z are millennial generation investors (31 years-40 years) with a portion of 24.81 percent of the total number of investors.
Investors aged 41 years-50 years were at 12.25 percent, followed by investors aged 51 years-60 years with 5.75 percent, and investors aged 60 years and over with 2.95 percent.
Despite dominating the number of investors in the capital market, the investment value of Gen Z is actually the smallest compared to other generations. Namely, amounting to IDR 41.3 trillion. Naturally, because Gen Z investors are filled with many new employees withentry-level income levels.
Meanwhile, investors over 60 years old dominated with the highest investment value at IDR 924.44 trillion.
The high participation of Gen Z in the capital market cannot be separated from the increasing activity of financial advisors or influencers on social media. To keep Gen Z from falling for the wrong advice, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued a regulation that stipulates that financial advisors who actively promote products on social media must obtain a license as an investment advisor.
