Only hedging to the extent that the corporations are not themselves dependent on the government. (Edit: or have a common risk factor).

Demographic shifts in particular are something that hurts both.

The SP500 magic money machine may stop and then everyone is stuck with shitty subpar indexes that lose in real terms. You may need to pensionize 50% to save enough but if everyone does that it is austerity.

AI (the robot kind) may be our main hope.
