Curious why you say that? Equities and intermediate term bonds are pretty low risk, equities are a huge amount of risk. Someone with a 5 year investment horizon should not be putting money into equities.

Shouldn't put all their money into equities. I would go 50/50 equities / bond fund and use $/£ cost averaging to buy in increments over say the next 12 months.
