Epidemias in every phase of human history have led to the deaths of many people in every phase of history. The Covid-19 epidemic, which occurred in China in November 2019, was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020 as a "pandemic - a common epidemic that threatens many geographies together", and has since its emergence spread rapidly worldwide, causing millions of deaths. The pandemic, which has become a threat to the global economy in a short period of time and profoundly affects the daily life, has led to the beginning of a long-term process of recovery from the point of view of the real sector or the financial sector by changing the course of production, consumption and investment spending in a negative direction. In this study, Pandemine’s effects on financial markets were tried to be examined from the investor behavior window. The survey, which was prepared for this purpose, investigates the impact of Covid 19 pandemic on individual investors’ behavior from a behavioral financial perspective.
