Understanding Cognitive Biases in Financial Decision-Making

Cognitive and emotional biases significantly impact financial decisions, often leading individuals to make suboptimal choices. These biases, such as overconfidence, loss aversion, and recency bias, can distort one’s perception of risk and reward when managing investments. For instance, an investor might be reluctant to sell a losing stock due to loss aversion, clinging to the hope of future recovery instead of making a rational assessment of the asset. Recognizing these biases is crucial, as it allows investors to make more informed and objective financial decisions, ultimately improving their investment outcomes.
