The majority of investors with $5 million or more in net worth, not including primary residence (NIPR), do not plan to buy candy or treats for Halloween, according to the latest survey from Spectrem Group’s Millionaire Corner. Overall, however, investors at lower wealth levels tend to be supportive of buying sweets.

Investors age 41-50 are eager to purchase candy and treats for Halloween: 76 percent of middle-aged investors will stock up on sugar compared with 57 percent of investors age 61 and over.
Single Investors Avoid a Sugar High
Most single investors plan to avoid the candy aisle this Halloween compared with investors who tied the knot: Only 45 percent of single investors will purchase Halloween sweets, compared with 72 percent of married investors.
Chocolate Is Loved By Most
On October 31, kids can expect to see a lot of chocolate in their trick-or-treat bags and buckets. Seventy-four percent of investors plan to purchase chocolate from brands such as Hershey’s and Reese’s.
