Abstract

This study examines how pandemic COVID-19 affected individual investors’ investment decisions. Investors’ COVID- 19 risk perception, risk propensity, stock market volatility anxiety and vaccine update information were studied. A systematic online questionnaire collected data from 400 Indian respondents of various ages, incomes, marital statuses, and occupations. The study period was November 2021 to March 2022. SPSS was used for cronbach alpha, factor analysis and multiple regression. Risk perception, vaccination updates, herding tendencies and fear affected investor investment decisions during COVID-19 pandemic/emergency situations, while risk propensity and investor anxiety due to stock market volatility did not affect investment decision in a similar way.
