Decision Economics: A behaviorally informed framework for investment decision making
Can you separate ‘what you think’ from ‘how you feel’ when making investment recommendations? It’s more difficult than you might think – after all we’re humans, not robots. But, it is critical to driving success in money management. Why? Because in the investment domain, probabilities matter more than our preferences. The combination of fees and unforced errors due to behavioral mistakes can make it challenging to meet return objectives.
Decision Economics examines 5 five key areas of the investment decision process where behavioral mistakes cluster and opportunities to deliver incremental return are most abundant. The program provides you with a probability-based framework of five best practices that will enable you to create a definable, defendable and repeatable investment decision process which is critical in a heightened regulatory environment.
In an age of commoditized advice, Decision Economics can help you differentiate yourself from the competition.
