Abstract
In this paper we analyze how stated choices for the amount of risk in pension assets of Dutch participants in DC pension products vary with their characteristics. We find strong evidence that this variation is in line with standard portfolio choice models. Heterogeneity in age, risk aversion, loss aversion, non-pension financial wealth, the relative importance of DC pension wealth and educational attainment leads to differences in product choice that are largely in line with standard theory. This applies to investment choices in the accumulation phase as well as in the retirement phase.
