Much of what is reported in this article is relevant to central banks and supervisors. Pension funds have different worries. That is worrisome by itself.

On the investment side, equity managers are asked to bet on whether we are in an equity bubble and whether governments should own so much in private equity and debt, bond managers wish they knew when the market is liquid enough to resume a life of its own, real estate managers feel the ground moving under them as Zoom has changed their world and everyone is hopping up and down over climate change, SDG, ESG, support packages and their withdrawal.

On the pension disbursement side, we have no clue how much damage 2020 did to the retired population or life expectancy, let alone what the newly used anti-virus technologies mean for e.g, cancer research.

Central bankers and supervisors job may be to watch systemic risk, but is that really the most efficient use of their time in this situation?
