Abstract

This study examines the effect of financial literacy and risk tolerance on investment decisions by considering ease of access to financial technology as a moderating variable. The population and sample were Generation Z in Yogyakarta. The quantitative method was used by collecting data using Google Form from 355 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using SEM-PLS through SmartPLS 4. The results showed that financial literacy and risk tolerance had a positive effect on investment decisions. Ease of access to financial technology does not moderate the effect of financial literacy and risk tolerance on investment decisions but has a direct effect. This finding is important for the financial sector to develop financial literacy and fintech platforms to support efficient investors' investment decisions.
