ABSTRACT:

Over time, the management of the capital market in Indonesia has undergone changes for the better. The growth in the number of investors in the secondary market is an indicator that the Indonesian capital market is increasingly in demand, especially by young people. The various conveniences in investing and the relatively small initial capital make it attractive for novice investors. This study aims to explore Christian students' perceptions of investment decisions in the capital market. The selection of Christian students as the research sample was based on the results of a pre-survey of one of the capital market investment galleries at state universities in Indonesia which involved the active involvement of Christian students as administrators. The results showed that the investment characteristics of Christian students were not entirely good in terms of self-confidence, knowledge, and self-control, but the psychological perspective of investing was good because they were confident and careful in making investment decisions.

KEYWORDS:
