Americans’ top investment picks over the next decade
Real estate is the preferred investment choice for Americans for the long term, according to a recent survey from Bankrate. The research showed that 28% of Americans prefer real estate as a way to invest money they won’t need for 10 years or more. This finding is up from 26% in 2020 when stocks were the top preferred investment method.
Stocks dropped 12% as the preferred investment choice from last year, sitting at only 16%. This was the lowest preferred rate for stocks since the 2016 survey.
The research also showed that inflation has little impact on how Americans invest. 58% of respondents said inflation would not change how they choose to invest, 20% said they would invest more aggressively, and 20% said they would invest less aggressively.
