Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the moderator effect of financial literacy on the relationship between demographic variables and financial risk tolerance. For this purpose, data were collected from 370 participants using the questionnaire method. After the data obtained for the study were tested with reliability and validity tests, the relationships between variables were analyzed using the hierarchical regression model. According to the findings obtained from the analysis, financial literacy has a moderator effect on the relationship between age and financial risk tolerance. This result implies that as financially literate individuals get older, their financial risk tolerance will be lower than those who are not financially literate.
