Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting investment decisions and to investigate the relationship between the level of financial literacy of investors and their investment decisions. This is a correlation study and a questionnaire was used to collect data. This questionnaire identifies the factors affecting investor decisions, as well as assesses the level of financial literacy and risk perception of investors. The results show that individual mentality, accounting information, economic information, and personal financial needs affect investment decisions in Iran. While there is no meaningful relationship between financial literacy and investor decisions. It was also determined that age, gender, marital status does not have a significant relationship with investors' decisions, but the level of education has a direct and meaningful relationship with the financial literacy of investors. In addition, the result shows that taking into account the level of risk perception of investors, their risk appetite is influenced by their investment decisions.
