Investor Risk Perceptions and Investments: Recent Developments

Abstract

This chapter deals with the reaction of the investors to the recent crises and answers the question how they have changed their way of measuring and managing risk. Today, investors pay much more attention to tail risk management, and central banks put a stronger focus on drawdown risk. The key results which are based on surveys and field studies are presented broken down by EMEA regions and investor types, i.e., institutional investors, retail investors, sovereign wealth funds and central banks.
