Many retail and small investors listen to financial influencers via various social media platforms such as YouTube, X, Instagram etc. and invest based on their picks and recommendations. However, many of these stock picks have failed to beat their benchmarks and largely underperformed.

The article from MSN discusses a study by the CFA Institute which analyzed the stock recommendations made by financial influencers (finfluencers) on social media platforms. The study found that 72% of the stocks recommended by these finfluencers underperformed compared to the Nifty index, a benchmark for the Indian stock market. This suggests that following stock tips from social media influencers might not be a reliable strategy for investment success. The research highlights the risks associated with such advice, pointing out that many finfluencers might not possess the necessary expertise or might be driven by incentives other than providing sound financial guidance. The article advises investors to be cautious and consider professional financial advice or conduct their own research before making investment decisions based on social media recommendations.
