Introduction
Behavioral finance delves into how cognitive biases and emotional responses influence investment decisions. From panic-selling during dips to greed-fueled buying sprees, emotions can often override rational analysis.
Key Biases
Loss Aversion: Investors fear losses more than they value gains, sometimes selling prematurely.
Confirmation Bias: People favor information that aligns with their existing beliefs, ignoring contradictory evidence.
Herding Effect: Following the crowd without fully assessing investment fundamentals.
Impact on Returns
Research from Dalbar indicates that average retail investors significantly underperform market benchmarks largely due to emotional missteps and market-timing attempts1.
