The FSMA has published a new edition of its Retail Investor Dashboard covering the first and second quarters of 2026. The number of active retail investors decreased slightly in Q2 2026 across shares, ETFs and bonds, partly due to seasonal effects. Despite the quarterly decline, the annual number of active investors continued to rise in 2025, with ETFs attracting younger investors.
