AMF Household Savings Newsletter - No. 24 - July 2017

This newsletter is dedicated to psychological blocks many savers have thinking about equity investments. The AMF proposes levers to stimulate long-term diversification in shares by an effort of specific education. The reader will also find a focus on shareholding in France which has risen last year for the first time since 2008.
