The purpose of this research study is to analyze why retail investors choose copy-trading platforms like Autopilot and Dub to invest. The survey specifically analyzes what platforms they use, which portfolios they follow and what they expect to gain from copying trades. The survey will take you approximately 6 to 8 minutes to complete.

Your responses will be treated with strict confidentiality and used solely for academic research purposes. The data will be analyzed in an aggregated, anonymized format and may be published in academic journals or presented at research conferences. No individual data will be shared with third parties.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time.
