PortfolioManagementunder EMH • Investors of varying ages also might warrant different portfolio policies with regardto risk bearing. For example, older investors who are essentially living off savings mightchoose to avoid long-term bonds whose market values fluctuate dramatically with changesin interest rates (discussed in Part Four). Because these investors are living off accumulatedsavings, they require conservation of principal. In contrast, younger investors might bemore inclined toward long-term inflation-indexed bonds. The steady flow of real incomeover long periods of time that is locked in with these bonds can be more important thanpreservation of principal to those with long life expectancies.In conclusion, there is a role for portfolio management even in an efficient market.Investors’ optimal positions will vary according to factors such as age, tax bracket, riskaversion, andemployment.
