The number of shareholders and private investors in equity funds in Germany increased by 560.000 in 2015, as has been shown in a study of Deutsches Aktieninstitut on the number of shareholders published today. In total we have now well over nine million people with an investment in shares. This corresponds to 14 percent of the population over the age of 14 and is thereby at the highest level for the past three years.
