> The investor class aren't owed anything

I don't know about your country, but in my country, you would be generalizing. There isn't a specific "investor class" because a large percentage of the population invests due to industry-wide organized pension funds.

They aren't owed anything either. If bad decision makers are rewarded then the situation will only get worse and people who don't know what they are doing will accumulate more market power.

There needs to be some sort of program to keep people fed and in decent accommodation; but there is too much to be lost rewarding people for standing by idly while bad decisions get made with their money. It is not going to work out well in the long term bailing out specifically the people who are screwing up.
