Abstract
[fre] L'exploitation d'une étude qualitative, effectuée au cours du premier semestre 1968, met en évidence les facteurs économiques et psycho-sociologiques qui déterminent les décisions de placements financiers des ménages. Ces décisions s'insèrent dans l'ensemble du comportement patrimonial caractéristique de chaque phase du cycle de vie.. L'attitude à l'égard des placements en valeurs mobilières paraît dépendre essentiellement de trois facteurs :. ― le stade de réalisation des objectifs prioritaires, à savoir les investissements professionnels et les investissements immobiliers à l'usage du ménage ;. ― la prise en compte des effets de l'inflation dans l'établissement des plans de financement des investissements ;. — l'image des valeurs mobilières, qui est beaucoup plus souvent celle d'un élément fixe de la fortune, que celle d'un avoir facilement réalisable.. Ceci explique, d'une part, que les valeurs mobilières soient rarement utilisées comme placement provisoire préparant un investissement ou comme réserve de sécurité et, d'autre part, que la constitution d'un portefeuille apparaisse en général tardivement dans la vie des ménages comme une activité de luxe pratiquée par ceux qui disposent de revenus excédentaires, une fois satisfaits les besoins de consommation et d'investissements.. Le besoin de capitaux producteurs, motivation très forte dans le comportement des générations anciennes, est de plus en plus faible, compte tenu de la proportion croissante des salariés dans la population active, et parmi ces derniers, des participants aux systèmes de retraite complémentaire. La fonction assignée au placement en valeur mobilière n'est le plus souvent que de fournir un supplément à des revenus déjà substantiels.. A titre d'hypothèse de travail, on a dégagé une position de typologie des porteurs de valeurs mobilières. [eng] The processing of data from a qualitative study carried ont in the first half of 1968, brought info evidence the économic and psycho-sociologie factors which direct the decision-making of households in the field of financial investment. These decisions belong to the general .framework of patrimonial behavior which characterizes each phase of the life cycle of households.. The attitude towards investments in securities seems to depend essentially on three factors :. — the stage of completition of top-priority programs, namely business investments. and households real estate investments ;. — the consideration of inflation effects in setting-up investments financing plans ;. — the image of securities, which most often appears to be that of a fix asset of. wealth rather than that of an easily realizable property.. This explains why on one hand securities are seldom used as a temporary deposit in preparation of a more permanent investment or as a safety reserve fund, and why on the other hand stockholding generally appears at a late stage in the life of households, and as a luxury activity engaged into by those who enjoy incomes in excess of their consumption and investment needs.. The need for income-yielding capital, which used to be a very strong motivation in the behavior of older generations, is now decreasing, due to increasing proportion of employees in the active population, and among them, to the amount of compensation and retirement funds participants. The function assigned to securities investments is now most often limited to supplying an increment to already substantial incomes. As a working hypothesis, a typology of stockholders has been worked out.
