OUR WORK
- Attitudes and behaviors as regards investing in non-cash assets (i.e., stocks, bonds, etc.)
- Reaction to 3 new proposed products and services
- Willingness to engage with and use a new DIY online platform designed to simplify “self-purchase” and trades
THE OUTCOME
All FinanceWe presented to the Japan- and US-based teams: “The financial products area is changing quickly, with a host of new regulations on the horizon. It’s important for us to keep our attention on the “pulse of our customers”, since they are changing rapidly, too. This study really helped us to understand how to better introduce our concept from the US so that Japanese investors would have higher acceptance."
