297. By Riley GriffinMillennials think cash is the best long-term investment. Unsurprisingly, they’re not seeing good returns.Almost 1 in 3 millennials said cash instruments, such as savings accounts and certificates of deposit, are the best place to invest money they won’t need for the next 10 years. That compares with only 21 percent of older generationsâ€"most of whom prefer the stock marketâ€"according to research released on Wednesday.The study was conducted for Bankerate.com by market-research firm GfK SE, which gathered data this month from 1,000 Americans age 18 and older. Millennials were defined as those between the ages of 18 and 37.So are millennials trying to take advantage of rising interest rates to earn a competitive return? Not quite. The generation has the lowest propensity to be earning interest on their savings. More than 1 in 5 millennials said they’re earning less than 1 percent interest on their savings, while roughly 19 percent of millennials said they’re not earning any interest whatsoever, according to the study. Millennials were also found to be the demographic most likely to not know how much interest they’re earning on their savings. “The Federal Reserve inflation target is 2 percent, so earning less than the rate of inflation is losing buying power,” said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com.Millennials aren't getting good returns on their cashAlmost one in five millennials said they aren't earning any interest on their savingsâ€"while most are oblivious to the returns they're making.
