Cover Story: Financial risk aversion and financial risk tolerance are often seen as ‘opposite sides of the same coin’, with risk aversion indicating unwillingness to take risks and risk tolerance representing willingness to engage in risky behavior. This paper presents an alternative view, demonstrating that risk aversion and tolerance are complementary in models describing household investment portfolio risks. Multivariate tests reveal that although correlated as expected, risk aversion and risk tolerance are not substitutes. Using both measures in the same model increases the explained variance in portfolio risk. Although risk tolerance had the largest effect, risk aversion was also statistically significant in the models analyzed. View this paper
