Download or read book The Behavioral Investor written by Daniel Crosby and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of the book named the best investment book of 2017 comes The Behavioral Investor, an applied look at how psychology ought to inform the art and science of investment management. In The Behavioral Investor, psychologist and asset manager Dr. Daniel Crosby examines the sociological, neurological and psychological factors that influence our investment decisions and sets forth practical solutions for improving both returns and behavior. Readers will be treated to the most comprehensive examination of investor behavior to date and will leave with concrete solutions for refining decision-making processes, increasing self-awareness and constraining the fatal flaws to which most investors are prone. The Behavioral Investor takes a sweeping tour of human nature before arriving at the specifics of portfolio construction, rooted in the belief that it is only as we come to a deep understanding of “why” that we are left with any clue as to “how” we ought to invest. The book is comprised of three parts, which are as follows: - Part One – An explication of the sociological, neurological and physiological impediments to sound investment decision-making. Readers will leave with an improved understanding of how externalities impact choices in nearly imperceptible ways and begin to understand the impact of these pressures on investment selection. - Part Two – Coverage of the four primary psychological tendencies that impact investment behavior. Although human behavior is undoubtedly complex, in an investment context our choices are largely driven by one of the four factors discussed herein. Readers will emerge with an improved understanding of their own behavior, increased humility and a lens through which to vet decisions of all types. - Part Three – Illuminates the “so what” of Parts One and Two and provides a framework for managing wealth in a manner consistent with the realities of our contextual and behavioral shortcomings. Readers will leave with a deeper understanding of the psychological underpinnings of popular investment approaches such as value and momentum and appreciate why all types of successful investing have psychology at their core. Wealth, truly considered, has at least as much to do with psychological as financial wellbeing. The Behavioral Investoraims to enrich readers in the most holistic sense of the word, leaving them with tools for compounding both wealth and knowledge.
Download or read book Annotated Bibliography on the Behavioral Characteristics of U S Investors written by Federal Research Division Library of Congress and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investor behavior is a hotly debated topic within the academic community. One relatively new area of study is the field of behavioral finance, which highlights departures from rational behavior in investing. Behavioral finance theory poses a challenge to many of the long-established assumptions of the rational expectations school of thought, which posits that people (investors) maximize utility (returns), acting rationally and in their self-interest. By focusing on the psychological and behavioral elements in the determination of stock prices, behavioral finance also challenges the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), which holds that market prices reflect all known information. EMH, developed by University of Chicago economist and Nobel Laureate Eugene Fama, implies that beating the market by identifying undervalued securities is impossible. Whether EMH remains valid is beyond the scope of this annotated bibliography, which is more concerned with investor behavior than with market efficiency. In other words, how the market behaves is not relevant here. Instead, the focus of this bibliography is on how investors behave and on how investor education may help them avoid common mistakes. This bibliography covers the last 15 years. This annotated bibliography draws primarily on the work of economists and finance professors, who support their conclusions with extensive statistical models based on actual investor activity. However, the bibliography also provides references from the social sciences, such as psychology and sociology, because behavioral finance is a multidisciplinary field, spanning a wide range of socioeconomic analyses. For example, risk aversion is related to the psychological concept of prospect theory. Princeton psychologist and Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman and the late psychologist Amos Tversky, who was last affiliated with Stanford University, developed prospect theory to explain how people maximize value or utility in choosing between alternatives that involve risk. Kahneman's article, "Aspects of Investor Psychology," co-authored with Charles Schwab executive Mark W. Riepe, is included in this bibliography. The perspective of sociology is represented in the article, "Financial Manias and Panics: A Socioeconomic Perspective," by York University economist Brenda Spotton Visano, who shows how sociologists' theories shed light on the phenomena of manias and panics. Similarly, in the article, "On Financial Frauds and Their Causes: Investor Overconfidence," Steven Pressman, an economist at Monmouth University, maintains that empirical psychology, which analyzes how people make choices when confronted with uncertainty, offers a better explanation of how Ponzi schemes thrive than neoclassical economics, which emphasizes the role of asymmetric information in risky situations. Even neuroscience can illuminate investor behavior: in "Affect and Financial Decision-Making: How Neuroscience Can Inform Market Participants," a physician, Dr. Richard L. Peterson links risk avoidance and risk taking to separate brain systems. The 52 abstracts in the bibliography are arranged according to the following categories, with the number of abstracted articles in each category provided in parentheses:

Download or read book Understanding Consumer Financial Behavior written by W. Fred van Raaij and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government policies, marketing campaigns of banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions, and consumers' protective actions all depend on assumptions about consumer financial behavior. Unfortunately, many consumers have no or little knowledge of budgeting, financial products, and financial planning. It is therefore important that organizations and market authorities know why consumers spend, borrow, insure, invest, and save for their retirement - or why they do not. Understanding Consumer Financial Behavior provides a systemic economic and behavioral approach to the way people handle their finances. It discusses the different types of financial behaviors consumers may engage in and explores the psychological explanations for their behavior and choices. This exciting new book is essential reading for scholars of marketing, finance, and management; financial professionals; and consumer policy makers.
