This study examines the relationship between risk appetite and investment choices among Generation Z students in India. Based on primary data from over 100 college respondents, it explores how financial literacy, income, and digital exposure influence investment preferences and decision-making. Findings show that the majority of Gen Z respondents demonstrated a preference for low- to moderate-risk investments, typically choosing instruments such as mutual funds and fixed deposits instead of higher-risk assets like equities or crypto assets. A lack of financial knowledge and limited income levels were identified as major factors discouraging active investment participation. The study concludes that while Gen Z students are financially aware, enhancing financial and digital investment literacy is essential for promoting more confident and informed investment behavior.
