Abstract: AbstractPension funds, insurance plans, and individual investors of funds for retirement share a long-term perspective in making their placement decisions. Most if not all of their allocations of capital are invested in stocks and bonds. As we observed in Chapter 1, this is true in countries outside the United States as well although in varying proportions. Historically, British funds have tended to put the highest proportion into equities, while Japan has exhibited among the highest allocations to bonds.
