When it comes to investing, are you your own worst enemy? Do overconfidence, psychological biases, and following the crowd keep you from winning the investment game?
Terrance Odean, Rudd Family Foundation Professor and Chair of the Finance Group at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, has analyzed the trading records of thousands of retail investors and uncovered some common investing mistakes. Investors pay too much attention to past returns and too little to fees and expenses. Investors’ excitement contributes to asset-pricing bubbles. Excessive trading and return-chasing materially lower investment returns and welfare.
For the Tangerine Lecture in Finance, Odean will discuss how behavioural biases and decision heuristics may be putting your investment returns at risk.
