CEO who manages $3 trillion has a message for Gen-Z investors

• Encourages Gen-Z to get interested in stocks and bonds, and broader macro conditions, rather than narrow commodities like gold or oil for long-term investment.
• Recommends building a 'paper portfolio' of five stocks, researching them, and understanding the rationale behind 'buying' them.
• Warns against trying to time commodity markets, stating it's extremely difficult even for professionals, let alone young investors.

Mike Gitlin, CEO of Capital Group, offers investment advice for Gen-Z, emphasizing long-term, fundamental investing over speculative plays. He encourages young people to learn about markets by building 'paper portfolios' and understanding the 'why' behind their investments, rather than trying to time volatile commodity markets.
