Abstract

The literacy level regarding the capital market is generally low in Indonesia; thus investment galleries are set up to increase public awareness, interests, and participation since the early stage of student investors. This study aims to prove whether activities done by the investment gallery and the knowledge about the capital market impact students’ interests in learning and investing in the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Socialization, training, and competition operate as proxies for activities. Knowledge about the capital market, the investment gallery, and education serve as proxies for knowledge. While desire, awareness, and taking time to study investing function as proxies for students’ interests summing up to nine indicators of three variables. The research uses a quantitative approach by implementing multiple linear regression analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The sample totaled 213 students of Politeknik Negeri Batam who attended any activity attributed to the investment gallery selected using a proportionate sampling technique. The authors verified that the test was valid and reliable. They also confirmed that the relationship between variables met the classical assumption tests, including multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and normality. The results of this study indicate that both the activities variable and the knowledge factor have a significant positive effect on investment interest, either partially or simultaneously. Therefore, investment galleries are proven to improve student investors’ interests in participating in the capital market through their activities and knowledge sharing
