In times of economic uncertainty, savings are considered a ‘safety net’ by a majority of households: 22% of surveyed families are planning to allocate savings to an ’emergency fund’, and 13% is already saving to have a reserve capital available to future unforeseen needs.

On the contrary, only 3% of Italian households is planning to invest on a complementary pension scheme.

Safety of investment tools is the main criterion on which Italy's households base their investment decision, which is considered a financial shelter to protect previously invested capital.

Trust and the personal relationship with financial advisers was also stated as very relevant by 18% of surveyed families.

Other characteristics of the investment product, such as the possibility to disinvent quickly was mentioned by 13% of Italy's households, as well as transparency of the investment (12%) and short-term duration of the investment (10%).
