The edible bird nest industry is an entry point project under the Malaysian Transformation Plan. The number of swiftlet houses has increased three and a half folds from 2011 to 2016 but with this trend swiftlet houses, failure ranged from 70 to 80 percent. This study focuses on understanding the investors’ behavior in this industry and on determining factors that are influencing their investment decision. The basic framework of analysis is the investor behavior theory by applying for the formative first order Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling model.

PurposeThis study aims to explore the importance of past behaviour and financial literacy in the investment decision-making of individual investors and examines the validity of the theory of planned behaviour in this context.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a self-administered questionnaire and adopted the convenience sampling technique followed by a snowball sampling method for the survey to collect data from the individual investors covering the four distinct states of India. Collected data were analysed on AMOS 20.0 using two-step structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsResults indicated a significant effect of all the predictive variables. Past behaviour showed no significant direct impact on investor's intention; however, it had an indirect significant relationship while mediated by the attitude of investors. The multiple squared correlation (R2) showed that the final model could explain 36% of the variance in investors' intention towards stock investment which signified a successful implementation of the TPB model along with external variables added to it. Moreover, Indian investors were found to be highly influenced, primarily, by social pressure which could be curbed through financial literacy.Practical implicationsA significant importance of subjective norms was found on stock market participation which could be a strategic theme for the government and the policymakers to educate investors through their opinion leaders for increasing their participation. Moreover, by doing so investors could control their behaviour and take rational decisions.Originality/valueThis study extended the understandings of investor's decision-making behaviour using TPB by incorporating the two external variables viz., Financial literacy and past behaviour. The addition of past behaviour is perhaps the novelty of this article since such examination has not been conducted empirically especially in the case of developing countries like India.

The Impact

The investment decision-making process is influenced by various factors, including financial literacy and demographic factors. This research examines the impact of demographic factors and financial literacy with behavioral finance as a mediation on investment decision making.  This research using structural equation model (SEM) analysis. The result shows that demographic factors through gender, age, education, income, occupation and experience have an influence and cause a specific behavior in investment decision making. Then the financial literacy factor has an influence in reducing negative behavior. Likewise, demographic factors and financial literacy with behavioral finance as a mediation on investment decisions have a positive influence. The existence of behavior that is manages with planning, financial literacy support, and demographic factors owned by individual investors will create an opportunity for market momentum. Which help maximize profit, better investment and portfolio performance, avoid risks, better investment decision, and forming trading strategies.

Investment Behaviour

Investments made by investors contribute to both inflow and outflow of funds in the capital market. Investment decision making is complex due to its uncertain behaviour. In literature, there is evidence of a gap between intention and behaviour among other aspects of human behaviour like consumer buying behaviour. Therefore, this study explores the intention–behaviour gap in investment behaviour of retail investors by examining the effect of two moderators, namely risk propensity (RP) and opinion of stakeholders (OPI). The present study also focuses on identifying financial and non-financial factors influencing equity investment intention (EII) and measures its impact on equity investment behaviour (EIB). A model is, thus, conceptualized and hypotheses have been developed accordingly. For validation of the model, a set of primary data of retail investors is collected (through questionnaire framing) and the hypotheses are tested by using advanced statistical techniques, namely structural equation modelling. The outcomes of this study signify the impact of EII that catapults behavioural approach in investment decision making for any potential investor in the near future.
