23 Investor expectations is lack of risk the biggest risk? Is the 2007 equity picture now relevant for fixed income? Quotes from asset managers* Taking no risk is not the answer; it is actually the biggest risk. Every day your life expectancy increases by 5.5 hrs. How are you going to invest for increasing life expectancy where people need growth without some amount of equity? The huge problem for the government is that the whole system is loaded up on bonds and underweight in equities. It s partly regulatory, partly accounting and partly fashion. But I would say that, from a macroprudential, systemic risk point of view is overweight the wrong asset class. *Quotes source: Asset Management in the UK , published in The IMA Annual survey on August 2013.
