| Abstract: | This paper examines investment choice in the Swedish individual account scheme focusing on two aspects of the investment decision: i. Do workers with high risk in their human capital diversify their overall portfolio by investing their pension funds in low-risk funds? ii. To what extent do participants exhibit "home bias" and invest in Swedish assets? Two pieces of evidence support rational investment decisions. |
