Chapter 3 in Investment Beliefs, 2011, pp 17-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Investors and trustees pronounce, act on or ignore investment beliefs on a daily basis, sometimes at their own peril. To illustrate this, we have collected a few quotations that we have picked up when meeting with trustees and advisors of pension funds for our research. We caught them at a bad time; in October and November 2008, bungee-jumping without a cord made more sense than investing in the stock markets, with losses racking up to 30% in the equity markets.
