Why do investors make irrational decisions? Even experienced investors can be guided by cognitive biases, such as anchoring, confirmation bias, recency bias, and loss aversion. How can one apply the principles of behavioral finance in order to manage portfolios better and improve returns? With stock prices up and volatility down, it is tempting to assume that investors overconfident and complacent. Should we sell expensive stocks and swap into bonds with low interest rates? Or keep riding the equity wave in the current bull market? How can we identify emotions and bias, such as anchoring, risk aversion, and procrastination, that are creeping into our investment process? Behavioral finance experts and practitioners can help investors take a fresh look at portfolios as we approach a new year that may bring different challenges and opportunities. Learn simple steps that can help identify and avoid costly behavioral finance mistakes that may eat into returns.
