He seeks to answer two specific questions: 1) whether there are discernible intergenerational variations in the investment performance of major asset classes, and 2) whether the ratio of middle-aged individuals to young individuals (the “MY ratio”) explains the performance of major asset classes across varying horizons.TOPICS: Retirement, portfolio construction
