For a long investment period investment consultants usually recommend a larger proportion of risky assets in investors’ portfolios than for a short investment horizon. In an experiment we examine the effect of different investment horizons on investors’ risk behavior.

We find significant underestimations of long-term risks that lead to a higher proportion of risky assets in the long-term portfolios. Our data show, that the belief in mean reversion is a potential explanation for this behavior
