I’m proud to share that The Investor Diaries National Report, released by The BlackRock Foundation in partnership with Commonwealth, reveals a new dynamic: A majority of Americans living on low and moderate incomes are now investing in the capital markets - many for the first time. The data is powerful: more than half of these investors started in just the last five years. Their stories challenge outdated assumptions and show us what’s possible when people have the tools and confidence to build financial security. This research also highlights the need for financial systems that better support new investors. It’s a call to action for institutions, platforms, and policymakers to meet people where they are to enable them to build pathways to long-term financial security.
