Investment participation is a key component of democratic engagement, according to Andreas Kern. “There are three main ways to participate democratically: you can vote, buy something, or invest in something. We are trying to contribute to getting more people involved in the stock market,” Kern stated.
Kern also highlighted the demonstrable impact of market forces on the political landscape, citing Donald Trump as a recent example. This observation comes as investors continue to assess the potential implications of political developments on market performance. The comments underscore a growing recognition of the interconnectedness between financial markets and political events, a dynamic that has become increasingly apparent in recent years.
