Summary/Abstract: This paper examines investment behaviour by Slovak investors. Data pro-vided by the Slovak Survey of Investor Behaviour are analysed via structural equation modelling. Two major subsamples of the Survey (standard population sample and sophisticated investors) account for similar determinants of investor behaviour. Risk tolerance, emotions and life-cycle factors explain significant proportion of variance in investment decisions
