2025 FTSE Russell US Retail Investor Survey

FTSE Russell’s 3rd annual US Retail Investor Survey was conducted between June 2 and June 11, 2025, and despite enduring a turbulent first half of the year, many of the investors surveyed remain bullish on their portfolios, but in a seeming disconnect they are less confident about the direction of the equity market and economy.

We surveyed over 750 US retail investors to better understand how they use index-based investments, feel about the support they receive from their advisors, and their outlook for the future.

Read our report to discover what they told us how different age groups view perceived threats to their portfolios and how advisors can help turn anxiety into opportunities.
