Nicosia, Cyprus. The investment platform Wealthyhood says the number of its investors in Cyprus grew five-fold, and client assets rose eight-fold, between June and September 2026. Data from its partnership with the Bank of Cyprus indicates rising interest in local shares, exchange-traded funds and accessible long-term investing.


About the report

The figures appear in the ‘Wealthyhood’s Cyprus Investor Pulse 2026’ report. It draws on anonymised, aggregated data from clients resident in Cyprus for the period from June 1 to September 30. According to the findings, lower entry costs and simpler account funding can encourage people to take part in financial markets.

Conversion from deposit to investment

The report states that 88.6 per cent of clients who deposited money went on to buy a stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF). Among clients who signed up in Greece over the same period, the share was 80.4 per cent.

Timing of the first investment was also covered. Some 58.4 per cent of new investors made their first purchase within 7 days of registering, and 14.4 per cent invested on the day they signed up.

Comments from the company

Alexandros Christodoulakis, co-founder and chief executive of Wealthyhood, told the Cyprus Mail that the quality of engagement among Cypriot investors had gone beyond the company’s expectations. He said:

“People in Cyprus didn’t need to be convinced that investing matters. What they were missing was a simple, trusted way to start, and once that existed, they moved quickly.”

Christodoulakis said the company was encouraged that customers kept investing after opening accounts instead of just registering and leaving the platform. Among those who joined in June or July and invested, 88.9 per cent were still invested on September 30, he said.

He added that 70.3 per cent of investors had never sold an investment, and that 59.1 per cent made a second deposit within 30 days of the first. In his view, users are not trying the app once and abandoning it but are building a habit.

Christodoulakis noted that four months of activity is still only an early snapshot, but described the quality of engagement as particularly encouraging.
