Existing risk estimates in the literature are formed using backwards looking measures during period t, which are projected forward for period t+1. Evidence suggests ex post observations do not always correspond with conditional ex ante expectations. Using forward looking survey data, I compare measures of expected risk, with common estimates of risk in the literature. Supporting empirical research, I find a strong relation between forward looking investor risk perceptions and conditional risk estimates.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave  u/biblio/investor-perceptions-and-volatility-within-risk-return-tradeoff-0
