A discussion of behavioral finance - and how it can impact our investment decisions.
Event Details
Please join us for a discussion about loss aversion, the theory from Behavioral Finance that people suffer more from a loss than they enjoy from an equivalent gain. Simple as it sounds, loss aversion can affect many of the decisions we make, including investment decisions. We will discuss several common examples and how to make sure that loss aversion doesn't keep you from making the best possible decisions. The discussion will be led by Paula Mikrut of OakBrook Investments, LLC.
