Baby Boomers who defined themselves as ''cautious and conservative'' rose to 36 per cent in 2009 from 24 per cent in 2008. Generation X investors in this category were unchanged, falling to 23 per cent in 2009, from 24 per cent the year earlier.

Generation Y investors calling themselves ''cautious and conservative'' rose to 41 per cent from 30 per cent, the report shows.
