Financiers & others say UK savers should embrace risk in their investments to get better future returns (& help investment in UK businesses).
But, these well-off investors, advisors & politicians miss-understand the downside risk for those not in as comfortable life positions as themselves.
They might be able to easily weather a loss of savings, but for those with little extra, a loss of slowly accrued savings is devastating - that's why they won' take a higher risk!
Would you?
