With and without my 'uncle' hat

Last week, at an event in Mumbai, the CEO of the National Stock Exchange shared some remarkable statistics that caught my eye. The median age of Indian investors has dropped to 32 years. Think about that for a moment. Half of all investors in India's largest exchange are younger than 32. When I started in this business, the typical investor was someone in their mid-40s, worried about retirement and children's education. Today, they're more likely to be someone who grew up with smartphones and consider cryptocurrency an old thing.
