Has COVID-19 MadeInvestors More Risk-Averse?

Investors have become more cautious into the securities they invest into with the uncertainty of the stock markets. On March 11th alone, the Dow Jones plunged 5.6% on the World Health Organization's news of a global pandemic [Sels, 2021]. As the world is starting to recover in some places, and news of vaccines is helping, the stock market is starting to rebound and once solid investments that fell are starting to look better for riskier investors. The onset of the 2008 financial crisis and lessons learned from the situations since have helped investors understand how to de-risk their portfolios and diversify. By having central banks keep interest rates low, risk assets are beginning to be more attractive once again. "In a market dominated by risk-averse investors, riskier securities compared to less risky securities must have higher expected returns as estimated by the marginal investor. If this situation does not exist buying, and selling will occur until it does exist" (Brigham & Houston, 2016). People will intrinsically stay away from risk, especially when it's large sums of their money involved to better protect their assets. As we look towards the future, and possibly only dealing with an endemic, the economy will start to rebound in every industry and once destroyed stocks will become money makers for all investors again.
