Personal Investing: Advice, Theory, and Evidence

Abstract

Data from a unique survey containing information on the composition of the respondents' total asset holdings—both inside and outside their retirement accounts—shed light on individual asset-allocation behavior. Individual asset allocations are consistent with the recommendations of expert practitioners and with the prescriptions of economic theory. The survey respondents maintain in cash and near-cash investments a proportion of their wealth that declines as wealth increases. They hold these safe assets outside their retirement accounts. The proportion of total assets that they hold in equities declines with age and rises with wealth. They do not appear to manage their assets across retirement and nonretirement accounts to maximize tax efficiency.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
