Abstract

This study indicates that the risk tolerance of Australian investors is not affected by general economic mood and, therefore, it is not necessary to adjust risk tolerance scores to account for changes in the investment climate. However, financial planners should recognise that herding behaviour could still result from investors being influenced by recent events.
